Membership
W.H.S. has been reputed to tap the gregarious "prep school type". Past members were associated intimately with the coeducation of Yale College, the establishment of the Yale residential college system and the Harvard house system, the founding of the Elizabethan Club, and the founding of the Yale Political Union.
Envoy to the Court of St. James's Edward Phelps, at Delmonico's, accepted the offer to be namesake to the alumni association before his departure to England.
The society has tapped women since the spring of 1992. W.H.S. was the last all-male undergraduate society.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
