Manuscript Society

[7] Manuscript briefly played host to the 1991-92 classes of Skull and Bones, who were temporarily locked out of their tomb by alumni who objected to its undergraduates' decision to offer membership to women.

[3] It supposedly holds Enlightenment ideals, and the sun and sunflowers are both important symbols to members.

[1][12][13] The tomb is mid-century modern, unusual amid other societies' elaborate mid-to-late-19th century buildings.

[1] It featured a circular intaglio mural in white-glazed brick that was designed by Josef Albers.

[11][15] Manuscript is described in the novel Joe College by Tom Perrotta as "basically the cool people's version of a secret society".
