West Balcony of Commons

West

Balcony

A place at the heart of campus for all Graduate & Professional students to gather.

A quiet place for staff to relax with the best view of Commons.

How’s your Latin? The circular inscription in the arched ceiling reads “SIGILL: COLL: YALEN: NOV: PORT: NOV: ANGL:” – a series of abbreviations translating to “The seal of Yale College, New Haven, New England.” In the center is the seal itself, bearing Yale’s motto in both Latin and Hebrew, meaning “Light and Truth.”
