Ep. 124 The Order of Death Pt. 2

In this Oddcast we continue the dive on Yale's senior year only fraternity, the very secretive Order of Skull, and Bones. We pick up from part one, and discuss more symbolism, influential members, and possible ties. We also look at several other prominent fraternities, and discuss the net worth of their trusts, and their most notable members, and connections as well. Thank you for your continued support, and i look forward to bringing you more content very soon.   See Also: The Oddcast-The Order of Death Pt. 1 Ep. 104 The Order of Death Pt.1 (podbean.com)   Cheers, and Blessings   The Odd Man Out   Help Support The Show, & Get Early, & Extra Content   Odd Man Out Patreon https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanout   Memento Mori “Remember That You Have To Die”   The society was known to its members as the Eulogian Club: eulogia is Greek for “a blessing” and is applied in ecclesiastical usage to the object blessed.   Fleshing Out Skull and Bones P. 192 Bones meanings are held at the tomb which is a two-story building without windows and who's walls on the outside are covered with Ivy. That's where the term Ivy League came from. The tomb is located to the east of the New Haven Green about 100 yards from the federal courthouse the Yale University owns the majority of land in downtown New Haven almost all of the university buildings are interconnected by a series of underground tunnels so visiting Bonesman never need approach the tombs from the street.   Room B, called 322, is the "sanctum sanctorum" of the temple. Its distinguishing feature is a facsimile of the Bones pin, handsomely inlaid in the black marble hearth, just below the mantel, and also inlaid in marble is the motto: "Rari Quippe Boni," in old English text. The motto is said to come from the passage by Juvenal: ["Good men forsooth are scarce: there are hardly as many as there are gates of Thebes or mouths of the rich Nile."--Juvenal, Sat., xiii. 26.]   "The order was incorporated in 1856 under the name “Russell Trust Association.” By special act of the state legislature in 1943, its trustees are exempted from the normal requirement of filing corporate reports with the Connecticut Secretary of State. As of 1978, all business of the Russell Trust was handled by its lone trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman partner John B. Madden Jr. Madden started with Brown Brothers Harriman in 1946, under senior partner Prescott Bush, George Bush’s father."   A grandfather clock is presented to each Knight upon initiation and stays with him throughout his life as a memento of what is called "the Bones experience."   Iserbyt- Secret Societies https://youtu.be/cFQD1bAsUlw David Allen Richards Skulls, & Keys-The history of Yale secret societies https://youtu.be/4J4mRqND9aI Ron Rosenbaum-S, & B Peice https://youtu.be/apzwObT0qNM Alexandria Robbins/Secrets Of The Tomb Lecture https://youtu.be/KOKGt9Bl2wM Founded in the fall of 1996 by Rabbi Shmully Hecht, Ben Karp, "Cory Booker" and Michael Alexander as an intellectual salon and Jewish leadership society, the group that started out as a social club for would-be and current leaders of the Yale community has blossomed into an organization recognized the world over, yet with a decidedly secular twist. "There was no question that Eliezer was a Jewish association," says New York Times critic at large Edward Rothstein, a member of the society, "but also no question that along with its elements of religious observance and allusion, the aura was nonsectarian intellectual." http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2057526,00.html Eliezer now called Shabtai Shabtai has deep connections to Israeli political, military, and judicial figures and hosts regular off-the-record meetings and briefings on Israeli developments. Participants, many of whom have also been speakers and guests at Shabtai, include Aharon Barak, Elyakim Rubinstein, Hanan Melcer, Ehud Barak, Yuval Steinitz, Alex Lubotzky, Yoav Gallant, Daniel Taub, Ron Prosor, Danny Dayan,
