When an excursion to West Haven is the highlight of a weekend, it must not be a very exciting weekend. Such was the case last weekend, when the members of the Yale Corporation, the University’s highest governing body, descended on New Haven for their last meeting before they vote in February on whether to build two new residential colleges. And, like the calm before...
