Yale’s Singapore Venture
The Alumni Discuss
November/December 2010

It’s about time that Yale did something to break out of its cocoon in New Haven. If anybody read the recent article in The Economist pointing out a danger of the Ivy League universities becoming like GM unless they learn to adapt to the changing times, they couldn't ask the silly question of what is in it for Yale.

Looking at Yale from this corner of the world, it looks like an oversized prep school which is oblivious of what’s going on in the rest of the world.
