Entry: The Impresario Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_impresario#18572 Post contents: Hey Caper: http://www.skullandcrossbones.org/articles/skullandbones.htm <<THE story of Skull and Bones begins in December of 1832. Upset (according to one account) by changes in the Phi Beta Kappa election process, a Yale senior named William Russell and a group of classmates decided to form the Eulogian Club as an American chapter of a German student organization. The club paid obeisance to Eulogia, the goddess of eloquence, who took her place in the pantheon upon the death of the orator Demosthenes, in 322 B.C., and who is said to have returned in a kind of Second Coming on the occasion of the society's inception.>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_Beta_Kappa <<It is believed that Phi Beta Kappa grew out of an older William and Mary organization, founded in 1750, named the Flat Hat Society; notably, Thomas Jefferson was a member. Phi Beta Kappa was, of necessity, a secret society. To protect its members, it had all of the attributes of most modern fraternities--an oath of secrecy, a badge or key, mottos in Greek, an initiation and a handshake.>> Flat Hat Society: <<The F.H.C. Society's initials likely stand for the Latin phrases "Fraternitas, Humanitas, et Cognitio" or "Fraternitas Humanitas Cognitioque" (two different renderings of "Brotherhood, Humanity, and Knowledge").>> Proof positive of Skull and Bones links to older "Masonic" secret societies. You claim to be at an Ivy League School. Are you a member of one of these societies? Does your conscience, as a Catholic, bother you? If you belong to a secret society, it should. If you belong to a secret society, I suggest you dismiss yourself from it immediately and join the Knights of Columbus. Sent at: 2008 11 22
