Why It Failed & Why it Mattered

Why It Failed & Why it Mattered: "The location of a college of blacks here would be totally ruinous to the city ... whose certain effect will be to lower the town's public morals-to drive from our city its female schools-its throngs of summer visitors-and to stop the vital stream of the city, the influx of young men to Yale College.
(September 9, 1831)"
