History

Wolf's Head 'New Hall', architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, designed circa 1924

Reform was desired by undergraduates and alumni who thought Bones and Keys figured too prominently at late-nineteenth century Yale. The administration was peopled almost exclusively by alumni of Bones or Keys.^[3] The student body had increased in number, widened its geographic scope (by 1900 all but three territories had been granted statehood in the continental United States), and broadened its social class origins after the American Civil War.^[4] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 800 × 326 pixelsFull resolution (4155 × 1694 pixel, file size: 2. ...

In 1873, a periodical called The Iconoclast appeared in New Haven that called for the end of Skull and Bones.^[5] The Iconoclast opined: "Out of every class Skull and Bones takes its men. They have gone out into the world and have become, in many instances, leaders of society. They have obtained control of Yale. Its business is performed by them. Money paid to the college must pass into their hands, and be subject to their will....Never before has it shown its arrogance and self-fancied superiority....It is Yale College against Skull and Bones. We ask all men, as a question of right, which should be allowed to live?" Many called for an end to the secret society system. For the pirate flag, see Jolly Roger. ...

The Third Society was accepted immediately and could manage its affairs similarly to the extant groups. Members were known as Grey Friars. The society changed its name to Wolf's Head Society in 1888 after undergraduates noted approvingly the society's pin design, a stylized wolf's head on an inverted ankh (the pin is provided by Tiffany & Co.). By contrast, members of Bones or Keys wore their pins face down on their lapel or cravat. Grey Friars described as "poppycock" the seemingly Masonic-inspired rituals of Bones and Keys. However, the society maintained many traditions, the code of confidentiality among them. For other uses, see Ankh (disambiguation). ... Tiffany & Co. ...

The society found itself at the apex of an undergraduate social pyramid with societies for freshmen, sophomores and juniors, as well as fraternities, providing the foundation.^[6] The ardor abated for reform, and the College Plan at Yale, made possible by Edward Harkness, helped further level distinctions among undergraduates.

Notable architects of the Wolf's Head Halls

• Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. designed ca. 1924 and completed posthumously, York Street, gift from member and philanthropist Edward S. Harkness. The "New Hall", with its stone wall enclosing a gracious private garden, is the largest secret society compound on campus.[1] Coincidentally, Goodhue was a protege of James Renwick Jr., architect of the first St. Anthony Hall chapter house in New York City.

(1884, former or "Old Hall" at 77 Prospect Street, across the street from the Grove Street Cemetery, commissioned for the Phelps Association (Wolf's Head alumni trust organization)[2], Richardsonian Romanesque. Purchased by the University in 1924, rented to Chi Psi Fraternity (1924-29), Book and Bond (defunct society) (1934-35), and Vernon Hall (defunct club) (1944-54). Currently houses the Yale Institution for Social and Policy Studies.[3] [4]

In that particular quadrant of Yale's campus, "the Hall" commands the most prominent location, fronted by York Street and surrounded by the Briton Hadden Memorial (home to the Yale Daily News), the Yale Drama School and its theatre (gifts from Edward Harkness, an important philanthropist in mid-20th century educational and medical circles), and the former domiciles of fraternities and clubs. Fraternity Row, in fact, had defined the environs. The now former "New Hall" (given all living Phelps members have known only it), on the former "fraternity row", is still being occupied precisely as its donor and architect intended. The former homes to fraternities and clubs have been absorbed by the University for administrative purposes.
