Scroll & Key is the second oldest senior secret society at Yale University. The society was founded in 1841 and its exotic tomb was designed in 1869 by the noted Beaux-Arts architect Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895), co-founder of the American Institute of Architects (1857) and founding member of the National Sculpture Society (1893). Hunt’s other works include the base for the Statue of Liberty, and the façade of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
