Yale University. Yale University, ranking after Harvard and William and Mary as the third oldest institution of higher education in the United States, is named for English mer- chant Elihu Yale (1649–1721). Founded in 1701 as the Colle- giate School of Saybrook, Connecticut, the school was named Yale College at its 1718 Commencement, held in the first col- lege building at New Haven. It became a university in 1887. Yale might have been called Mather University, for Cotton Mather suggested naming it so in return for his financial support, but Elihu Yale won out when he donated a cargo of gifts, books, and various goods that brought about 562 pounds when sold. Yale had been born in Boston in 1649, but returned with his family to England three years later. He served with the British East India Company, and as governor of Fort St. George in India until scandals in his administra- tion led to his removal in 1692.
