Grace Hopper is named for mathematician, pioneer in computer sciences, and naval officer who received a master’s degree in mathematics (1930) and a Ph.D. in mathematics (1934) from Yale.
Hopper has a 2-story suite known as “Bookworld” near a patio referred to as “The Castle,” which overlooks the courtyard. Hopper’s dining hall contributes enormously to day-to-day life for its residents. “Hoppers” and “Hoplites” enjoy their meals in a dining atmosphere which boasts columned arches, rich wood-paneled ceilings, and two fireplaces – one with the Hopper crest, the other with a portrait of Roosevelt “Rosey” Levander Thompson.
