Morphology
This is a straightforward compositional proper-name + noun combination: if a learner knows the proper name 'Yale' and the noun 'university', the phrase denotes the university called Yale. The meaning is not idiomatic or metaphorical and follows a common cross-linguistic naming pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Yale University is named after a merchant called Elihu Yale, who long ago gave money and books to the young college. That's why the name now means 'an old and famous university'.
