Default Re: Yale-bred.
Yale - Yale University. An "Ivy league" college. Considered high class society.
Bred - To develop by training or education (in this context)

Someone who is "Yale-bred" would likely be a person in the higher social and economic class. The president of the United States is Yale-bred.
