Mace and Chain

Mace and Chain

Mace and Chain is the youngest "landed" secret society at Yale University. The society was founded in 1956 (four years after Manuscript), became inactive in the 1960s, and was revived in the 1990s. In 2001, it acquired a regular meeting place (called a "tomb" - a 180-year old house in downtown New Haven).

Accessed 2008-05-10.] Like other societies at Yale, Mace and Chain conducts meetings on Thursday and Sunday evenings. The name Mace and Chain is rooted in discussions amongst the founders about chivalry, and the society has traditions of rotating student leadership each week and allowing each new "delegation" (new senior class) to lay out new ground rules every year.
