Timothy Dwight College, commonly abbreviated and referred to as "TD", is a residential college at Yale University named after two university presidents, Timothy Dwight IV and Timothy Dwight V. It was built in 1935, at a cost of $2 million, and renovated in 2001-2. TD was designed by James Gamble Rogers in the American Federal style popular during the younger Timothy Dwight's presidency. The college was originally built to house 180 students, plus a number of fellows. Intramural sports played an important part in students' lives from the start, and TD captured its first of many Tyng Cups (awarded to the residential college with the best overall intramural performance) in 1937. With 11 Tyng Cup awards to date, TD is currently tied with Pierson College for the lead in this category.

Grove Street Cemetery - Timothy Dwight Commemoration (3446 words)
Her influence and example can be gauged by Dwight's statement at age 55: "All that I am and all that I shall be, I owe to my mother." Around six Timothy entered a local grammar school where he was determined to study Latin and succeeded although his father initially forbade it as premature.
In 1795, Dwight became president of a college that had a number of routine problems and, what was far worse from his point of view, a student body that rejected authority, took pride in expressing advanced European thought and declared their contempt for Christianity.
Dwight explained to him that no available American had sufficient knowledge to be appointed professor, and "a foreigner, with his peculiar habits and prejudices, would not feel and act in unison with us...however able he might be in point of science..." Silliman accepted, but prudently took time to be admitted to the Connecticut bar.
Timothy Dwight College (521 words)
Timothy Dwight himself purchased a slave in 1788.
Dwight was a persuasive teacher, and what he said moved many of his students deeply...
Early in his tenure, Dwight expanded the size of the faculty by appointing three key professors: Benjamin Silliman, professor of chemistry and geology; James Luce Kingsley, professor of classical languages; and Jeremiah Day, professor of mathematics and future Yale president.
