Woodbridge Hall Basswood

A large basswood was removed from the Old President’s office at Woodbridge Hall in 2011. Woodbridge Hall was completed for Yale’s bicentennial in 1901 by the gift of Olivia Egleston Phelps Stokes and Caroline Phelps Stokes and named for Rev. Timothy Woodbridge, one of the founders of Yale College. The heart of the “power center of the university,” it houses the Office of the President, the Office of the Secretary, and the Corporation Room.
