Skull and Bones is not your typical beer-swilling, goof-off fraternity.

Each fortunate initiate is gifted with $15,000 and a grandfather clock. The society, which Russell formed with Alphonso Taft (class of 1833), exists only at Yale, and only fifteen juniors are selected by senior members to be initiated into the next year’s membership. He called it the “Order of Scull and Bones,” later changed to Skull and Bones. Russell also returned to Yale with the notion of establishing a chapter of a corps in Germany. Neither Hitler’s fascism nor Lenin’s communism would quarrel with the precepts of Hegelianism. The state has supreme rights over individuals, and individuals must recognize that their supreme duty is to the state. In Hegel’s worldview, the state is Absolute Reason and individuals must give their total obedience to it. When William Huntington Russell returned to Yale from his studies in Germany in 1832, his head was filled with the philosophy of reason as taught by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel at the University of Berlin. Its members assure outsiders that Skull and Bones is simply a college fraternity that taps fifteen rich boys each year to undergo an initiation that’s nothing but “mumbo-jumbo.” Conspiracists are certain that the occult-based secret society worships the absolute power of the state and the New World Order. It is a summary of a conspiracy theory, not a statement of fact. The following article is from Conspiracies and Secret Societies.
