That Yale treats artistic endeavors as seriously as, say, medicine, as Mr. Kirchwey suggested, is corroborated by Dr. Sherwin Nuland. Currently clinical professor of surgery at the Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Nuland graduated from the medical school in 1955.

Though he did not begin writing for a general audience until the 1980's, Dr. Nuland traces the origin of his success as a writer back to his years as a Yale student. What surprised him about the medical school was that the instructors were fascinated with subjects outside the world of medicine.
