40: The First Forty Years of Graphic Design Studies at Yale University

This one is either wicked boring or it’s loaded with clues. It depends on your attitude and ambition. It tells the story of the founding of Yale’s graphic design program and lists every student and instructor for the first forty years of said program. Who was in the first class?

What undergraduate school was feeding Yale most of its design students? Who were the first women? Who was the first woman to teach there? If names are any indication, the answers are in this. (It looks like Polly Lada-Mocarski was the first woman to be a visiting faculty member. Inge Druckrey was the first woman to be a permanent faculty member.) Anyway, ask the right question about the years between 1950 and 1991 and this thing might have the right answer.
