====Expansion==== Starting with the addition of the [[Yale School of Medicine]] in 1810, the college expanded gradually, establishing the [[Yale Divinity School]] in 1822, [[Yale Law School]] in 1822, the [[Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] in 1847, the now-defunct [[Sheffield Scientific School]] in 1847,{{efn|name="NoteA"|Sheffield was originally named Yale Scientific School; it was renamed in 1861 after a major donation from [[Joseph E. Sheffield]].}} and the [[Yale School of Art|Yale School of Fine Arts]] in 1869. In 1887, under the presidency of [[Timothy Dwight V]], Yale College was renamed to Yale University, and the former name was applied only to the [[Yale College|undergraduate college]]. The university would continue to expand into the 20th and 21st centuries, adding the [[Yale School of Music]] in 1894, the [[Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies]] in 1900, the [[Yale School of Public Health]] in 1915, the [[Yale School of Architecture]] in 1916, the [[Yale School of Nursing]] 1923, the [[Yale School of Drama]] in 1955, the [[Yale School of Management]] in 1976, and the [[Jackson School of Global Affairs]] in 2022.<ref name="The Future of Jackson">{{Cite web|title=The Future of Jackson|url=https://jackson.yale.edu/the-future-of-jackson/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190821223916/https://jackson.yale.edu/the-future-of-jackson/|archive-date=August 21, 2019|access-date=August 21, 2019|website=Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs|publisher=Yale University|language=en-US}}</ref> The Sheffield Scientific School would also reorganize its relationship with the university to teach only undergraduate courses. Expansion caused controversy about Yale's new roles. [[Noah Porter]], a moral philosopher, was president from 1871 to 1886. During an age of expansion in higher education, Porter resisted the rise of the new research university, claiming an eager embrace of its ideals would corrupt undergraduate education. Historian George Levesque argues Porter was not a simple-minded reactionary, uncritically committed to tradition, but a principled and selective conservative.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Levesque|first=George|title=Perspectives on the History of Higher Education|publisher=[[Routledge]]|year=2017|isbn=978-1-4128-0732-6|editor-last=Geiger|editor-first=Roger L.|volume=26|location=[[New York City|New York]]|chapter=Noah Porter Revisited|issn=0737-2698|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=czYrDwAAQBAJ&q=noah%20porter}}</ref>{{Page needed|date=February 2021}} Levesque says he did not endorse everything old or reject everything new; rather, he sought to apply long-established ethical and pedagogical principles to a changing culture. Levesque concludes, noting he may have misunderstood some of the challenges, but he correctly anticipated the enduring tensions that have accompanied the emergence of the modern university.
