Editing Skull and Bones (section)

=== Literature and print ===
* [[Tom Wolfe]] mentions Skull and Bones in his 1976 book, ''The Me Decade'', writing, "At Yale, the students on the outside wondered for 80 years what went on inside the fabled secret senior societies, such as Skull and Bones. On Thursday nights one would see the secret society members walking silently and single file, in black flannel suits, white shirts, and black knit ties with gold pins on them, toward their great Greek Revival temples on the campus, buildings whose mystery was doubled by the fact that they had no windows."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wolfe |first=Tom |date=August 23, 1976 |title=The "Me" Decade and the Third Great Awakening |url=https://nymag.com/news/features/45938/ |journal=New York Magazine}}</ref>
* Skull and Bones have been satirized from time to time in the ''[[Doonesbury]]'' comic strips by [[Garry Trudeau]], Yale graduate and [[Scroll and Key]] member. There are overt references, especially in 1980 and December 1988, concerning [[George Herbert Walker Bush|George H. W. Bush]], and again when the society first admitted women.<ref>{{cite book |last=Soper |first=Kerry |title=Garry Trudeau: Doonesbury and the Aesthetics of Satire |publisher=[[University Press of Mississippi]] |year=2008 |isbn=978-1-934110-89-8 |pages=25, 42}}</ref>
