Oh, come on, student. It’s part of history.

Are you going to pay for it to be re-constructed?

Yale University was one building for a very, very long time. In the 60s the business part of it took off, and they constructed a bunch of new buildings.

The new buildings were made to LOOK old, to give the impression that they competed directly with Oxford.

Buildings were built, and stainglass was laid in by ... well.. Anyone. It was just built by random construction guys. Then pieces were broken out and other guys came along and leaded them together again.

Acid was poured down the buildings to simulate centuries of wear.

The original building (Which is mostly admin stuff) and a few buildings they purchased throughout the 70s and 80s are older than the 1960s constructions. The buildings are beautiful, but their age is an illusion.
