Names, dates, and appointment titles given in the following lists were taken from the digitzed version of the Historical Register. This online edition of the Historical Register of Yale University succeeds the printed work of the same name, which the university published in three volumes: in 1939 (for the years 1701-1937), in 1952 (for the years 1937-1951), and in 1969 (for the years 1951-1968). The Historical Register Online (HRO) contains entries for every person who held a university appointment from Yale's founding in 1701 through the early 1980s. These entries were drawn from the three printed volumes as well as from information assembled in preparation for a fourth volume, which was never published. Efforts are being made to bring these lists up-to-date. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
