Fortson's Signs, Symbols, and Secret Societies: Aurelian Honor Society

The Aurelian Honor Society at Yale University, established in 1910, was created to unite students from different factions of the student body, particularly within the Sheffield Scientific School, and promote leadership and excellence across various areas. Originally founded to foster transparency and service, the society has evolved over time into a notable part of Yale's social landscape, often shrouded in mystery alongside other prominent societies. This book traces its history from its inception as a collective aimed at bridging divides to its current status within the university's elite circles.
