BEN MCCONVILLE IN NEW HAVEN


NO ONE answers when you knock on the iron doors of the Skull and Bones society in the middle of the campus at Yale University. If you have to knock, you are not wanted in.

Behind its Greco-Egyptian façade on the High Street in New Haven, the society is said to be one of the most powerful and influential in the United States.

Now, for the first time, two Bonesmen, as members are known, could go head to head for the post of President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief.

Skull and Bones is a social and political network like no other. With all its ritual and macabre relics, it was founded in 1832 as a new world version of secret student societies that were common in Germany at the time. Since then it has chosen or ‘tapped’ only 15 senior students a year, who become patriarchs when they graduate - lifetime members of the ultimate old boys’ club.

George W Bush (1968) admitted to being a Bonesman in his autobiography: "My senior year I joined Skull and Bones, a secret society, so secret, I can’t say anything more."
