Yale now has more than 130,000 living alumni, but they’re not distributed equally across the age spectrum. Because the university’s enrollment has grown dramatically (and because of, well, actuarial realities), the alumni body is a lot thicker at the younger end: more than half of living alumni graduated after 1980. This graph shows the totals for class years at five-year intervals. (Alumni with more than one degree are counted for each.)
