    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. There are no official rosters published after 1982 and membership for later years is speculative.

  • Resource Guide to Accompany the 2012 Movie, “Lincoln”
    Honoring Connecticut’s Role in Abolishing Slavery, 150 Years Later Resource Guide to accompany the 2012 movie, “Lincoln” From the office of Congressman Joe Courtney Second District of Connecticut January, 2015 Honoring Connecticut’s Role in Abolishing Slavery, 150 Years Later On January 31st, 2015, the United States of America will celebrate the 150th anniversary of one of its greatest contributions to the cause of human rights: passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolishing human slavery within its borders. The 13th Amendment resolved forever a hotly-contested moral defect in the founding of the nation, which permitted the ownership of African slaves by American citizens. Passage occurred on the cusp of the end of the most violent conflict in American history—the Civil War—which most historians agree was primarily fought over this very issue. No doubt, the 150th observance will be a time of great reflection and celebration that— despite the horrible reality of the War, America was able to eliminate the “peculiar institution” of slavery, preserve the Union, and adopt the slavery prohibition into the bedrock foundation of the nation’s legal system: the U.S. Constitution. In Connecticut, we have much to commemorate on this important milestone. Our state contributed greatly to the cause of abolition. The literary work of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Horace Greeley, and David Ruggles, an African-American abolitionist printer and writer who also played a role in the Underground Railroad; and the outspoken leadership of Gideon Welles, Secretary of the United States Navy under President Lincoln, and Prudence Crandall, who boldly opened the doors of her classroom to African American girls, lent power and clarity to the arguments opposed to slavery.
