The Cave. Russell Trust Association. The Russell Trust Association is the business name for the New Haven, Connecticut based Skull and Bones society, incorporated in 1856.[1] The Russell Trust was incorporated by William Huntington Russell as its president, and Daniel Coit Gilman as its first treasurer.
Gilman later went on to become president of the University of California at Berkeley and Johns Hopkins University before leaving to become the first president of the Carnegie Foundation. Gilman also served as one of the first board members of the Russell Sage Foundation. In 1943, by special act of the Connecticut state legislature, its trustees were granted an exemption from filing corporate reports with the Secretary of State, which is normally a requirement.
From 1978 until his death in 1988, [2] business of the Russell Trust Association was handled by its single trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. partner John B.

Early life[edit] Born in Middletown, Connecticut, Russell was a cadet at the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy (later Norwich University) from 1826 until graduation in 1828, where he was taught under strict military discipline.
In 1828, William's father died, piling family responsibility on to him. Under severe financial restraints, he entered Yale College. He supported himself throughout his college years. In 1823 Samuel Russell, his cousin founded Russel & Co. Career[edit] Russell had planned on entering the ministry, but his financial problems forced him to obtain an immediate income through teaching. He not only gave his students to the Union army, but also his own services.
Later life[edit] List of Skull and Bones members. Skull and Bones entry from the 1948 Yale Banner.
Former United States President George Herbert Walker Bush is listed fourth down. Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale University, was founded in 1832. Until 1971, the organization published annual membership rosters, which were kept at Yale's library. In this list of notable Bonesmen, the number in parentheses represents the cohort year of Skull and Bones, as well as their graduation year. There are no official rosters published after 1982 and membership for later years is speculative. Founding members (1832–1833 academic year)[edit]
Rattling those dry bones. Earlier this month, Yale’s secret societies selected some of the University’s most promising men and women as members of their upcoming tap classes.
Although today Yalies take it for granted that societies welcome students of both genders, 15 years ago at least two secret societies remained vehemently male-only. Despite a tradition of resistance by powerful alumni, by 1991 only Skull and Bones and Wolf’s Head continued to exclude women. Bonesmen had made requests to open the society to women since Yale went co-educational in 1969. Membership of Yale's Skull and Bones Society ? Famille Harriman et relations. Bush in the Order.

Bush and John Kerry were both members of the secret organization ‘Skull and Bones.’ ‘Temporary’ was Pres. Bush’s nickname under the group, and if he winds up losing the presidential election this fall, that name is going to haunt him the rest of his life. But who are the ‘Skull and Bones?’ ‘Skull and Bones’ dates to 1832.
Each year, 15 young undergraduate seniors are tapped for membership, initiated in controversial, murky fashion. Members of ‘Skull and Bones’ gather on High Street in the Yale campus at the tomb. Once you‘re in, you‘re in: ‘Skull and Bones’ is for life. And then there are the presidents: William Howard Taft, whose father, Alphonso, had helped found the group and whose son Robert was a senator; George Herbert Walker Bush, whose father, Prescott, was a Bonesman and a senator; the current President Bush, although his kid at Yale has not been tapped for Skull and Bones—even though they do admit women now.

As opposite as George Bush and John Kerry may seem to be, they do share a common secret - one they've shared for decades, and one they will not share with the electorate.
The secret: details of their membership in Skull and Bones, the elite Yale University society whose members include some of the most powerful men of the 20th century.
