On a beautiful fall evening on October 5th, nearly 200 people gathered at The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library to honor Frank Turner and Ellen Tillotson, and to recognize Yale University donors for their outstanding leadership in the Greater New Haven community.
It was fitting that an event to thank donors for their generosity to United Way and to the common good was held at Yale's Beinecke Library. Several original de Tocqueville manuscripts are part of the Beinecke's impressive literary collection and were on display for guests. President Rick Levin welcomed guests, and spoke about Alexis de Tocqueville, his insightful observations about America, and the strong partnership between Yale University and United Way of Greater New Haven.
