Skull
and
Bones is
an
undergraduate senior secret society at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It is the
oldest senior class landed society at Yale. The society's alumniorganization, the Russell
Trust Association, owns the society's real estate and oversees the organization. The
society is known informally as "Bones", and members are known as "Bonesmen"
Skull and Bones was founded in 1832 after a dispute between Yale debating societies
Linonia, Brothers in Unity, and the Calliopean Society over that season's Phi Beta Kappa
awards. It was co-founded by William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft as "the
Order of the Scull [sic] and Bones.
he society's assets are managed by the society's alumni organization, the Russell Trust
Association, incorporated in 1856 and named after the Bones co-founder. The association
was founded by Russell and Daniel Coit Gilman, a Skull and Bones member, and later
president of the University of California, first president of Johns Hopkins University, and
the founding president of the Carnegie Institution. The first extended description of Skull
and Bones, published in 1871 by Lyman Bagg in his book Four Years at Yale, noted that
"the mystery now attending its existence forms the one great enigma which college
gossip never tires of discussing. Brooks Mather Kelley attributed the interest in Yale
senior societies to the fact that underclassmen members of then freshman, sophomore,
and junior class societies returned to campus the following years and could share
information about society rituals, while graduating seniors were, with their knowledge of
such, at least a step removed from campus life
Skull and Bones selects new members among students every spring as part of Yale
University's "Tap Day", and has done so since 1879. Since the society's inclusion of
women in the early 1990s, Skull and Bones selects fifteen men and women of the junior
class to join the society. Skull and Bones "taps" those that it views as campus leaders and
other notable figures for its membership.
