Skull And Bones: What It Is And Why It Matters Here

Yale University’s Skull and Bones is the oldest and most storied of American university secret societies.

Founded in 1832, it selects approximately fifteen seniors per year — known as “tapping” — from Yale’s graduating class.

Its membership over the years has included an extraordinary concentration of American political and economic power: senators, cabinet members, CIA directors, and two presidents among its alumni.
