Ezra Stiles is also the name of a residential college at Yale University. It is among the newest of the university's 13 residential colleges, and is well known for its successes in acquiring the Kimble and the Tyng Cup. Its mascot is the moose; this arose from the donation, by A. Bartlett Giamatti, of a stuffed moose's head, which is currently decomposing away in the Ezra Stiles Dining Hall.
