History
In his report on the 1955-56 academic year, Yale President A. Whitney Griswold announced his intention to add at least one more residential college to the system Yale had launched only two decades earlier. Alfred Whitney Griswold ( 27 October 1906 - 19 April 1963) was an American historian and educator and President of Yale University "We have the colleges so full that community life, discipline, education, even sanitation are suffering," he stated. This news bred wild rumors about four or five new colleges being added to Yale's system. Nothing substantial was announced until the spring of 1959 when Eero Saarinen '34 was chosen as the architect, and the Old York Square behind the Graduate School became the designated site. Eero Saarinen (eːro saːrinen (August 20 1910 Kirkkonummi, Finland – September 1 1961 Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States) was The Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences founded in 1847 is one of the oldest graduate schools in the United States. The Old Dominion Foundation, established by Paul Mellon '29, provided money to build two "radically different" colleges, which would alleviate the growing strain on the existing colleges. Paul Mellon KBE ( June 11 1907 &ndash February 1 1999) was an American Philanthropist, Thoroughbred racehorse
The cornerstone of the college was laid on Alumni Day, 1961, and students took up residence in September 1962. The college was dedicated the following December 7. The purchase of the land — previously occupied by Hillhouse High School and Commercial High School — from the City of New Haven was made possible by a grant from John Hay Whitney, Yale Class of 1926. John Hay Whitney ( August 27, 1904 - February 8, 1982) colloquially known as "Jock" Whitney was U
The college, considered by many architecture critics a masterpiece of American architecture, is built of rubble masonry with buildings and a tower in the style of pre-Gothic Tuscan towers such as still exist in the medieval Italian hill town of San Gimignano. The Architecture of the United States includes a wide variety of architectural styles over its History. Tuscany (Toscana is a region in Italy. It has an area of 22990 km² and a population of about 3 The college consists almost entirely of single rooms, and in a modern attempt to capture the spirit of Gothic architecture, Saarinen eliminated all right angles from the living areas.
Stiles' adjacent "twin" residential college Morse is architecturally-similar and was built at the same time. The two distinct colleges share an underground kitchen. Architecturally, Morse and Stiles differ from predecessors by having more private space per student and the lowest ratio of natural light aperture to wall surface of any of the colleges.

Contrary to popular belief, the college's concrete walls were never meant to be covered with ivy.
Because none of the interior walls make right angles, the dorm rooms are furnished with built-in desks and bookshelves. Some rooms had no wall space sufficient to provide for an adjacent normal bed. The college was once heated by a system that warmed the stone floors, but maintenance troubles led Yale to abandon it and install radiators.
Residents of the tower had access through a window to the roof of the Yale Co-op, which would sometimes be covered with a sheet of ice, permitting brave students to ice skate on the open roof (without railings of course).
