Phelps Gate Rollerball Pen
This rollerball pen was handcrafted from a 50 year old American Elm tree (Ulmus americana) that grew in front of Phelps Gate on Old Campus. For the past five decades freshman walked under the boughs of this tree when they arrived at Yale and four years later marched in full regalia under its branches at graduation. The tree suffered from disease, began dropping its branches and had to be removed in September 2012. This iconic tree is the namesake of Elm City.
