Berkeley College is named in honor of the Reverend George Berkeley (1685-1753) —Dean of Derry and later Bishop of Cloyne — who endowed Yale with a gift of land and books in the 18th century. Its coat of arms is the crest of the Berkeley family.
Once a testing ground for experimental organic food and sustainable produce dining plans overseen by Berkeley, California chef and cookbook author Alice Waters, Berkeley’s talented culinary team continues to delight diners with annual culinary traditions.
