In isolation, the fact that any prominent Minnesotan attended Yale may be purely random. But time after time, a relationship with Yale exists in the histories of so many Minnesotans, that its recurring presence soon appears to be no small coincidence. Stories abound--all around the Twin Cities, throughout the state, and beyond--that provide anecdotal evidence to substantiate this claim.
This is a collection of those stories--tales of individuals who helped make Minnesota what it is today, and what it will become tomorrow.
