The almost-always-locked “secret library” on the eighth floor of Bingham Hall, otherwise known as the Comparative Literature Library, could be the university’s most reclusive study spot. Only faculty and comp lit graduate students are granted keys. The library, which holds more than 2,500 works of literature in ten languages, offers commanding views of Old Campus and downtown New Haven; it opens up for events throughout the year, such as poetry readings and literature lectures. According to campus legend, a secret society, the Yale Society for Exploration of Campus Secrets, was founded within its gothic walls.

Those 2500 works could change the course of history. Why keep them locked away ?
ReplyDeleteSeeking a few good souls to join a new secret society. We will be unknown to the world and each other. In fact it will be so secret we're not sure if we're in ! that way if any one of us is captured the society, such as it is, will be completely safe. Pretty sneaky.
So every secret society needs a charter. Ours will be "Matthew and Revelation, the match up no one else sees, or cares about."
We will study mysterious writings that have baffled humanity lo these two thousand years. And we too will be baffled. Even Jesus didn't have the answer to one question that has plagued the human mind, when is the end, when is judgement day ? No one knows, but God in spirit. God in the flesh put infinite matters aside.
We won't have any secret symbols or hand shakes. Those are for people with tiny intellects far beneath us.
Join now ! And if you live on long enough you will die. You will learn one important thing, what to say when standing before God on judgement day ! While others answer wrong and drop through the trap door to eternal damnation you will answer confidently, though trembling with fear and excitement.
