    New Errands Volume 5, Issue 1 December 2017 Welcome to New Errands! 1 The Eastern American Studies Association and the American Studies Program at Penn State Harrisburg are pleased to present the fifth issue of New Errands, an online journal that publishes exemplary American Studies work by undergraduate students. Seeking to develop the next generation of Americanists, New Errands’ mission is both to provide a venue for the publication of important original scholarship by emerging young scholars and to provide a teaching resource for instructors of American Studies looking for exemplary work to use in the classroom. New Errands will be published semi-annually, after the end of each academic semester. The goal of this timetable will be to collect and publish essays produced during the previous term, so that they can be made available as quickly as possible for use in the following term. We encourage both self- submission by undergraduate students and nominated submissions by instructional faculty. They must have an American focus, but can employ a variety of disciplinary methods. Submissions can be emailed as Word documents to: [email protected]. Essays can be of any length, but they must have a research focus. Any visual images should be placed at the end of the manuscript, and tags should be placed in the text to indicate the intended placement of each image. Manuscripts should conform to MLA guidelines. Papers found in this volume were presented at the Undergraduate Roundtable of the Eastern American Studies Association Annual Conference in March of 2017.

    Yale University EliScholar – A Digital Platform for Scholarly Publishing at Yale Publications on Yale History Yale History 1-1961 Yale's Extracurricular & Social Organizations, 1780-1960 Loomis Havemeyer Follow this and additional works at: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/yale_history_pubs r 1 YALE'S EXTRACURRICULAR & SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS Loomis Havemeyer January 1961 Foreword Since the eighteenth century there has grown up at Yale a vast number of societies, fraternities and clubs; students have always been great njoinersu. Some of these have lasted a long time and are impor- tant while others existed only a brief period and died, leaving, perhaps, only a name with no date available. In going through the old copies of the Banner the names of many of these latter appear only to be omitted in later issues and so we assume that they passed from the scene. A group might get together for some purpose, select a name, be recorded in the Banner, and then in a short time cease to exist. These we have not included for while they may have been important to the founders, they made no impression on the Yale scene. We have not in- cluded athletics or the preparatory school and state clubs that as a rule meet infrequently, perhaps for one dinner a year, and usually have an ephemeral existence. After months of research we have compiled a list of the more important extracurricular activities, giving, where possible, the date, when they first appeared and if they dropped out, the year. In some cases there are no adequate records and so we have resorted to ques- tion marks.

  • Esquire Magazine Skull and Bones Article
    Ron Rosenbaum's 1977 Esquire Magazine Skull and Bones Article http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_skullbone... by Ron Rosenbaum Esquire Magazine September, 1977 from PrisonPlanet Website Esquire Magazine September, 1977 Take a look at the hulking sepulcher over there. Small wonder they call it a tomb. It’s the citadel of Skull and Bones , the most powerful of all secret societies in the strange Yale secret-society system. For nearly a century and a half, Skull and Bones has been the most influential secret society in the nation, and now it is one of the last. In an age in which it seems that all that could possibly be concealed about anything and anybody has been revealed, those blank tombstone walls could be holding the last secrets left in America. You could ask Averell Harriman whether there’s really a sarcophagus in the basement and whether he and young Henry Stimson and young Henry Luce (Time magazine) lay down naked in the coffin and spilled the secrets of their adolescent sex life to 14 fellow Bonesmen. You could ask Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart if there came a time in the year 1937 when he dressed up in a skeleton suit and howled wildly at an initiate in a red-velvet room inside the tomb. You could ask McGeorge Bundy if he wrestled naked in a mud pie as part of his initiation and how it compared with a later quagmire into which he so eagerly plunged. You could ask Bill Bundy or William F. Buckley, both of who went into the CIA after leaving Bones - or George Bush , who ran the CIA / President - whether their Skull and Bones experience was useful training for the clandestine trade.

  • PRESENT at the CREATION” Constituting the New American Empire 1945–1950
    Chapter 4 “PRESENT AT THE CREATION” Constituting the New American Empire 1945–1950 In a sense the postwar years were a period of creation. (Dean Acheson, 1969) he dapper and witty Honorable Dean Acheson, a gentleman’s gentle- Tman and President Harry Truman’s secretary of state (1949–1953), held the highest positions in US diplomacy during and after World War II. The postwar years he refers to in the quotation above are roughly the fi ve years following the end of the war in 1945. They “were a period of cre- ation,” of fi nding the parts and fi tting them together in a colossal struc- tural project to constitute the postwar US social being. This chapter, then, explores the exercise of force to achieve constructive powers, specifi cally those creating the post-1945 iteration of American Empire. First, this chapter documents who did it; next it details the features of global human being as Acheson and his peers refl ected on it, in doing their constitution. This postwar human being, inhabited by a Bear that was a Leviathan (an oddity explained later), presented US elites with a men- acing hermeneutic puzzle. This puzzle, one of a political contradiction, is documented. The chapter goes on to show how the hermeneutic politics to resolve the puzzle engendered a series of public délires and institutions that constituted a novel social being—a three-tiered rental empire, called the New American Empire. Let us begin with actors, specifi cally the security elites who did the constituting. Security Elites 1.0 The “River families” were born to this spacious sense of tradition and of lei- sure.

    12/30/2019 List of Skull and Bones members - Wikipedia List of Skull and Bones members Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale University, was founded in 1832. Until 1971, the organization published annual membership rosters, which were kept at Yale's library. In this list of notable Bonesmen, the number in parentheses represents the cohort year of Skull and Bones, as well as their graduation year.

    Revelation 17 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:1 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.2 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

    James Kamedulski AmSt 2001 C. Earle April 28, 2014 Secrecy, Traditions, and Cornelliana: A Brief History of the Secret Societies at Cornell University “ ‘Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.’ The Latin term for the sentence is ‘Carpe Diem’.” —William Keating, Dead Poet’s Society Cape Diem, seize the day, became the official motto of the secret society the Dead Poet’s Society of the 1989 classic movie that shares the name. Secret Societies have always been a fascination, a matter of intrigue, and mystery at the Great Schools of the United States. From the boarding schools of New England to the Great Universities (Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, etc.), secret societies have existed and thrived; their traditions, intricacies, and pastimes have been simultaneously mysterious and omnipresent. Although their lists of powerful alumni are long, their actual influence on campus life is often questioned. What is the point of the secret societies today, and how did they get here? What was their influence, and does it continue to this day? This research paper seeks to answer these questions by going through the history and accomplishments of Cornell’s most influential and famous secret societies: the Quill and Dagger Society and the Sphinx Head Society. The Formations of The Societies on Campus The history of Cornell’s secret societies and their beginnings is the history of the beginnings of social clubs or societies at Cornell. During the mid-1800’s, fraternal organizations began to develop across the American college campuses. The objective of the fraternities, at that time, was more of a promotion of liberal thinking and free thought, a place where students could organize and thrive intellectually.

Keeping Secrets: Student Secret Societies in Historical Context Jennifer Domagal1 Secret societies have long been part of the tapestry of American higher education. They have, however, remained largely unexamined and unspoken of, as if their existence itself is a secret. This article explores the contextual development of secret societies within the academy. The role of secrecy in the development of the first student organizations is outlined and examples of current societies are discussed. As student affairs professionals, it is imperative that we understand this historical context, namely the dangers of institutional paternalism and secrecy, in order to create a current conception of the status and influences of secret societies on our campuses. Secret Societies Officially, extracurricular activities have played a major role in undergraduate student culture at institutions of American higher education since the mid to late 1800’s, when college and university officials finally began to recognize, approve of, and even encourage student involvement outside of a strictly academic arena (Rudolph, 1990).
