Phelps Gate

The archway from the New Haven Green into the Old Campus, under Phelps Hall of 1896. Every Yale student walks in through it in their first week and out through it at Commencement.

Guide's tip. Start on the Green so you see the gate the way the city sees it, then go through.

On a walking tour. Stop 1 of 10 on the walking tour Yale, from the Old Campus to the libraries, every stop on a map in walking order.
