At an alumni rally earlier the same day in support of Yale standing up to the Trump administration, there was a historic, unheard-of call-and-response cheer:

One more bookish set for good measure.

These biscuits are inspired by the weird and wonderful world of medieval illustration.
9 square biscuits decorated with illustrations from medieval manuscripts, including Reynard the Fox, a dog, a knight fighting a snail, a peacock, a hedgehog, a bat, and a fish. The set features shades of rich russet red, cobalt blue, gold, brown, turquoise, and green. Some biscuits include small sections of blackletter calligraphy.
