John Cleve Green who financed Princeton
Born in 1800, Green began working as a teenager in the counting house of the prosperous and highly regarded international trading firm of N.L. and G. Griswold. During this apprenticeship, he served on lengthy international voyages, buying and shipping tea and silk. In 1833, Russell and Company, America's largest opium drug smuggling business in China, offered him a position.
Green entered the world of the Chinese tea trade at a time when “[b]ribery and smuggling became an accepted means of circumventing the regulations” prohibiting the importation of opium, Selden wrote. The shift to dealing the “noxious drug,” whose importation was forbidden by edict of the Chinese government, occurred when “Spanish dollars and other legal tender proved to be insufficient to compensate the Chinese merchants.”

Elihu Yale was born near Boston, educated in London, and served with the British East India Company, eventually becoming governor of Fort Saint George, Madras, in 1687. He amassed a great fortune from trade and returned to England in 1699. Yale became known as quite a philanthropist; upon receiving a request from the Collegiate School in Connecticut, he sent a donation and a gift of books. After subsequent bequests, Cotton Mather suggested the school be named Yale College, in 1718.
A statue of Nathan Hale stands on Old Campus at Yale University. There is a copy of that statue in front of the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Yet another stands in front of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts (where George H.W. Bush ('48) went to prep school and joined a secret society at age twelve).
Nathan Hale, along with three other Yale graduates, was a member of the "Culper Ring," one of America's first intelligence operations. Established by George Washington, it was successful throughout the Revolutionary War. Nathan was the only operative to be ferreted out by the British, and after speaking his famous regrets, he was hanged in 1776. Ever since the founding of the Republic, the relationship between Yale and the "Intelligence Community" has been unique. -
When Russell returned to Yale in 1832, he formed a senior society with Alphonso Taft ('33).
11/30/14 Private schools know how to game elite universities – state-educated kids don’t have this privilege. The system fails bright pupils from ordinary backgrounds. And here’s how we all lose ...
This year, a quarter of a million 16-year-olds will make their A-level choices relying on hearsay, myth and information that is outdated or uncheckable. Those choices will shape their options when it comes to university – and the courses they apply for will then shape their chances of getting in.
There is, in short, massive asymmetry of information in the post-16 education system and the critical determinant is class. Kids at private school can rely on schools that have continual informal contact with elite universities. The result is that – for all the hard work being done by outreach teams inRussell Group universities, and by access teams in state schools – there’s an inbuilt advantage among those going to private schools based on informal knowledge. But why isn’t there a central repository of information that would turn all this folkore into a level playing field of checkable knowledge? Why isn’t there a single, open-source database that models all specific pathways into higher education? Without it, state school students will always find it hard to win the inside-knowledge game. The knowledge asymmetries deepen once you realise that elite universities require additional, bespoke tests.
A senior administrator at Oxford told me that they suspected few state school teachers really understand this game of playing the ratios. State-school students and people from ethnic minorities crowd each other out by going for the same, obvious, high-ratio and vocational courses. Why should this matter to the majority of young people, who do not aspire to go to an elite university? And to the rest of society? First, because it is creating needless inequality of opportunity and is just the most obvious example of how poor access to informal knowledge penalises state school kids. There is no reason – other than maintaining privilege – to avoid presenting subject and course choices clearly, logically and transparently.
Russell set out for China, an assured profitable venture. He arrived in Canton, China, in 1819, engaging in trade on behalf of the Providence firm of Edward Carrington & Company in various goods and products including opium, an extremely profitable activity despite being outlawed-yet protected by foreign forces.
The profits made by Russell enabled him to found Russell & Company in Canton, China, in 1824. Dealing mostly in silks, teas and opium, Russell & Company prospered, and by 1842, it had become the largest American trading house in China. It kept its dominance until its closing in 1891. Russell withdrew from the company in 1836. He returned to America, and lived in his mansion in his hometown of Middletown, Connecticut, until his death in 1862. The mansion, now bearing the name of Samuel Wadsworth Russell House, (his son's name, Samuel had no middle name) had an elaborately-decorated interior; Russell had brought back many souvenirs and antiques from China, as well as gifts from his Chinese trade partner, Howqua.

Despite the possible personal biases in these two accounts of the history of the Order of Skull & Bones, it must be acknowledged that the membership of the society has tended over generations to converge upon a small group of New England families who have intermarried and then sponsored their sons and nephews into the Order.
This kind of inbreeding always tends to produce narrow-mindedness and prejudice against outsiders, which can be a serious shortcoming, particularly among individuals responsible for charting the course of a nation as powerful as the United States. It can be documented by comparing the family charts of the early Bonesmen that there is today a core group of no more than 20 to 30 families who form the nucleus of the Order.
The majority are old-line Puritan families who came to North America in the very first wave of settlers in the 17th century. Among these prominent families are: Whitney, Lord, Phelps. Wadsworth, Allen, Bundy, Adams, Stimson, Taft, Gilman Russell, and Perkins.
A second group of families in the Skull & Bones core earned fabulous fortunes during the 18th and 19th centuries and thus won a rite of passage into the New England elite, even though they were not among the earliest settlers.
The leading Skull & Bones families in this second category are: Harriman, Rockefeller, Payne, Davison, Pillsbury and Weyerhauser.
A few of the Jewish banking families who made their way from Germany to the United States during the 18th and l9th centuries were eventually granted limited access to the WASP inner sanctums. Some families, like the Schiff, Warburg, Guggenheim and Meyer families, were unofficially designated as intermediaries between the New England WASPs and their cousins in London. This was especially true after the Rothschild interests supplanted the Anglican Baring group as the most powerful financial cabal in the City of London. Some of these German Jewish families became so absorbed into the WASP or Anglican society that they eventually converted from Judaism to Protestantism and were gradually ostracized from the Jewish aristocracy.
The WASP families, however, never saw the prominent Jewish investment banking families of America as equals. The Jews were considered politically and culturally different by the WASPs, and have never been accepted into the latter's inner circle. For the most part, these Jewish merchant bankers are viewed with suspicion and distrust by the members of the Order. Moreover, the Jewish fraternal societies, such as B'nai B'rith, were formed out of the British-based Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Their sponsors in America, the Rothschilds and the Cecil Rhodes Trust (also known as the British Round Table Group), are connected with the British Foreign Office and its secret intelligence apparatus.

THUGGEE SECTS
UNIVERSITIES AS SPAWNING GROUNDS OF THREE DIFFERENT SECRET SOCIETIES
Between 1983-1986, the British-born conspiracy scholar Antony C. Sutton wrote a series of pamphlets about the Order of Skull & Bones. Sutton said that his series was "based on several sources, including contemporary 'moles.'"(6) The short pamphlets were compiled into one volume and published as a book in 1986. Sutton noted that secret societies had been organized at three universities: "The Illuminati was founded at (the) University of Ingolstadt. The (Cecil Rhodes) Group was founded at All Souls College, Oxford University in England, and the Order was founded at Yale University in the United States."(7) He noted: "The paradox is that institutions supposedly devoted to the search for truth and freedom have given birth to institutions devoted to world enslavement."
The Imperial Students-Yale University
The first Chinese graduate from a prestigious American university was named Rong Hong. “I graduated from Yale University in 1854, but it was not till 1872 that the first delegation of students was sent to America. What happened in the meantime was 18 years of uncertainty and prolonged waiting.” In 1909 Rong Hong wrote his autobiography, My Life in China and America, lending us a view into the stories of China's first official delegation of overseas students. Some contend that, without Rong Hong, China could have sent students abroad, but then, the date would have been much later and there would not have been the vision of sending such young students abroad. It was the persistence and vision of Rong Hong that brought about this unprecedented event.

18 U.S. Presidents Were Frat Boys "Fraternity men make up 85 percent of U.S. Supreme Court justices since 1910, 63 percent of all U.S. presidential cabinet members since 1900, and, historically, 76 percent of U.S. senators and 85 percent of Fortune 500 executives ...
The Hazards of Duke In 2009, GQ magazine named Duke America’s second-douchiest college, a distinction that came with a caveat: “They’re probably number one. But we’d rather not rank Duke number one at anything.” It’s difficult to argue with GQ’s thinking on either score; something ugly is going on at the university—a mercenary intensity that has been gathering strength for the past two decades, as the institution made the calculated decision to wrench itself into elite status by dint of its fortune in tobacco money and its sheer ambition.
Former Frat Brothers Run Wall Street The finance industry isn't just dominated by men. It's run by frat brothers who use a "fraternity pipeline" to push their brothers forward over other job candidates.
Frat Houses Are Death Traps After centuries of American idiots drinking beer and doing stupid things, someone is finally taking a stand. Insurance companies!
The Dark Power of Fraternities An astonishing number of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, congressmen and male senators, and American presidents have belonged to fraternities. Many more thousands of American men count their fraternal experience—and the friendships made within it—as among the most valuable in their lives. A yearlong investigation of Greek houses reveals their endemic, lurid, and sometimes tragic problems—and a sophisticated system for shifting the blame.
[Fraternal Information and Programming Group] regularly produces a risk-management manual. The majority of all fraternity insurance claims involve booze and the need to manage or transfer risk presented by alcohol is perhaps the most important factor in protecting the system’s longevity. Any plaintiff’s attorney worth his salt knows how to use relevant social-host and dramshop laws against a fraternity; to avoid this kind of liability, the fraternity needs to establish that the young men being charged were not acting within the scope of their status as fraternity members. Once they violated their frat’s alcohol policy, they parted company with the frat. It’s a neat piece of logic: the very fact that a young man finds himself in need of insurance coverage is often grounds for denying it to him.
The Business Of Frats: Shifting Liability For Trauma And Injury : NPR "Fraternities are now mightier than the colleges and universities that host them," she writes. Alumni do tend to give generously to their alma maters, yes, but it's more than that. The American college system is slave to its need for a continual flow of students, Flanagan says. How else to persuade underprepared, soon-to-be-loan-ridden students to attend than by marketing the experience as a major party? Colleges compete for these students with perks, frats and all their glory among them. Flanagan's piece looks deeper into the tragic and unsavory practices rampant in Greek houses and the ways in which they protect themselves when serious problems arise.
Don’t faze me, bro the real “dark” side of Greek life: institutional class privilege, racism and sexism. Endemic entitlement — (mostly) white male privilege that begins way before freshman year of college, continues into the workplace and has little to do with slippery roofs. Frat to finance pipeline The problem starts early. Future fraternity brothers are often coddled by yes-men athletic coaches and administrators in high school,
the old boys' club that redefines power & influence
Skull and Bones Fraternity
The story begins at Yale, where three threads of American social history -- espionage, drug smuggling and secret societies -- intertwine into one.
Networks - Thomas Handasyd Perkins (1764-1854) family started secret fraturnity Skull and Bones.
In 1823, Samuel Russell established Russell and Company for the purpose of acquiring opium in Turkey and smuggling it to China. Russell and Company merged with the Perkins (Boston) syndicate in 1830 and became the primary American opium smuggler. Many of the great American and European fortunes were built on the "China"(opium) trade.
According to information acquired from a break-in to the "tomb" (the Skull and Bones meeting hall) in 1876, "Bones is a chapter of a corps in a German University.... General Russell, its founder, was in Germany before his Senior Year and formed a warm friendship with a leading member of a German society. He brought back with him to college, authority to found a chapter here."
So class valedictorian William H. Russell, along with fourteen others, became the founding members of a Fraternity "The Order of Scull and Bones," later changed to "The Order of Skull and Bones".The secretive Order of Skull and Bones exists only at Yale. Fifteen juniors are "tapped" each year by the seniors to be initiated into next year's group. Some say each initiate is given $15,000 and a grandfather clock. Far from being a campus fun-house, the group is geared more toward the success of its members in the post-collegiate world.
The family names on the Skull and Bones roster roll off the tongue like an elite party list -- Lord, Whitney, Taft, Jay, Bundy, Harriman, Weyerhaeuser, Pinchot, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Sloane, Stimson, Phelps, Perkins, Pillsbury, Kellogg, Vanderbilt, Bush, Lovett and so on William Russell went on to become a general and a state legislator in Connecticut. Alphonso Taft was appointed U.S. Attorney General, Secretary of War (a post many "Bonesmen" have held) THEN attorney general in President Ulysses S. Grant's cabinet, Ambassador to Austria, and Ambassador to Russia (another post held by many "Bonesmen"). His son, William Howard Taft ('87), is the only man to be both President of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

It has worldwide membership of over 11,000, it is the largest private clubhouse in the world and also offers legacy memberships for any Yale-affiliated member's children and grandchildren. According to a book published for the club's 1997 centennial, members at that time included George H. W. Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, John Kerry and George Pataki. The first president of the Yale Club was attorney Thomas Thacher, founder of Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett. membership is restricted almost entirely to alumni and faculty of Yale University, University of Virginia and Dartmouth College. The current clubhouse opened in June 1915, was situated on the very corner where Yale alumnus Nathan Hale was hanged by the British Army for espionage during the American Revolution. Today, the site of Hale's execution is disputed.
Delta Kappa Epsilon
Delta Kappa Epsilon was founded at Yale College in 1844 by 15 men of the sophomore class part of whom hadn't been invited to join the two existing societies among others who had been invited to join. They therefore formed their own fraternity. Delta Kappa Epsilon has produced five presidents of the United States (more than any other fraternity), has had its flag flown on the first expedition to the North Pole and again on a manned landing to the moon. The private DKE Club of New York Delta Kappa Epsilon Club 50 Vanderbilt Ave, New York, NY 12) 370-0199 dkeclubny.com was founded in 1885 and is currently in residence at the Yale Club of New York City.
Rockefeller Senior's donations led to the formation of the University of Chicago in 1889, where the first American Nobel Prize in Science was produced in 1907, and notable for the Chicago School of Economics. This was one instance of a long family and Rockefeller Foundation tradition of financially supporting Ivy League and other major colleges and universities over the generations - seventy-five in total.

Feeder Prep Schools - Boarding School Review
Best known for pioneering the Harkness teaching method — a seminar-style class setting where the teacher and students sit around a table and freely discuss subjects — the school is highly selective with a 19% acceptance rate and touts an endowment of $1.15 billion, which is more than most colleges.George H.W.

Pirate Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg went there2016 EXETER did not publicly disclose PEDOFILE SCHUBART'S misconduct until the day after the Globe inquired about the two cases.Rick Schubart — who held positions as chair of the school’s history department, director of admissions, dorm adviser, and coach during his nearly 40-year career — already had been “required to retire and removed from campus housing” after the school learned of the first case in 2011, according to the letter signed by principal Lisa MacFarlane and Eunice Panetta, president of the trustees. Phillips Exeter said nothing publicly at the time, and Schubart remained an emeritus faculty member — until a second allegation surfaced in 2015. Schubart, a scholar of early American and Civil War history, in the 1990s served as president of The Association of Boarding Schools, which represents boarding schools around the world. He has also served as chairman of the board of the Federation of American and International Schools, and was a trustee at the Bronx Preparatory Charter School as recently as September 2014, according to the school.
This is not the first sexual misconduct controversy at Phillips Exeter. In 1992, a drama teacher, Larry Lane Bateman, was arrested on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography. During the prosecution, it was disclosed that Bateman had secretly videotaped Exeter students in their bathrooms and bedrooms and made at least one sexually explicit tape in his campus bedroom with a student.
Phillips Exeter is one of a number of independent schools where allegations of sexual abuse have surfaced publicly in recent months, forcing schools to confront misconduct that sometimes occurred decades earlier. In January, the Globe reported that more than 40 people have contacted attorneys representing victims from St. George’s with accusations of molestation and rape by staff and students at the Episcopal prep school in Middletown, R.I. The attorneys represent 30 of them and say that the alleged misconduct stretches from the 1960s to more recent years under the watch of current headmaster Eric Peterson.

The Ivy universities had established a "legacy of 'The Ivy League' as an educational brand name. Now eight boarding schools in the East Coast are attempting a similar — and perhaps even more ambitious — grouping." Choate English Department chair Cyrus Cook was, however, more circumspect, telling The News, "The point of Eight Schools Association is not that we think we are the eight top schools in the country. It really isn't. The important thing with Eight Schools is that we think of each other as peers and learn from one another."[7]
CHOATE
Abiel Abbot Low was the son of Seth and Mary Porter Low, grandson of David and Hannah Haskell Low, great grandson of David and Abigail Choate Low. Low married Ellen Almira, daughter of Josiah Dow of Brooklyn on March 16, 1841, and had two sons and two daughters from this marriage: Harriette Low (October 24, 1842–1884), Abbot Augustus Low (May 12, 1844–1912), inventor (notably of the paper shredder), businessman and industrialist, Ellen Low (June 30, 1846–1884), and Seth Low (January 18, 1850 – September 17, 1916) who later became mayor of New York and president of Columbia University. Upon the death of his wife in 1850, Low married Anne Davison Low, widow of Low's brother William Henry Low. Another brother, Charles Porter Low, served as captain on the Houqua, Jacob Bell, Samuel Russell, and N.B. Palmer. In 1894, Low's sons Abbot Augustus and Seth, built a hospital in Wu-Chang, China in memory of their father.
1784 and previous: "The first US ship sent into the China Trade is the Boston sloop Harriet; it trades American ginseng for Chinese tea. It didn't even get all they way to China, it traded its goods off the Cape of Good Hope. The Empress of China was especially built for the trade by Philadelphia's Robert Morris and first set sail towards China on Washington's birthday, 22 February, 1784. It took ginseng and brought back teas, spices, silks, porcelains and other general household goods. There was interest in the products, a good profit was made and the China trade was off and running. Ginseng, seal and sea otter furs, and sandalwood were used to trade with the Chinese. Soon these resources were depleted and a new barter item was needed in lieu of silver; which the fledgling US had little of. In the late 1790's Smyrna (Izmer, today), Turkey a major source for opium began to become port of call for Americans."
