William Hamilton (1939-2016) (Yale 1962) was a cartoonist chiefly working for The New Yorker magazine from 1965 until his death as well as a playwright and novelist.

Drawing created approximately 1997 that depicts four middle-aged European American men wearing suits and ties and sitting at a table with tankards and bottles as well as one man drinking from glass. One of the men states through an inscription below the depiction, "I've always seen myself as a mixture of Yale and Fellini," which references Yale University and Federico Fellini, an Italian film director and screenwriter. The depiction of the table also includes carved initials and abstract representations of group photographic portraits and trophy cups in the background of the scene, likely an allusion to Mory's, also known as Mory's Temple Bar and Mory’s Association, a membership club adjacent to the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
