From 1913 to 1984, Quill and Dagger had at least one member in the [[U.S. Congress]] every single year. In recent decades, the society has had a strong presence in the [[U.S. State Department]] and related government positions, with two [[National Security Advisor (United States)|National Security Advisors]],<ref>[http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Nov04/hadley.fac.html Hadley appointed National Security Advisor]</ref> two [[Director of Policy Planning|Directors of Policy Planning]], and numerous assistant secretaries and senior advisers. Additionally, two members recently served as [[World Bank]] presidents, and many members serve on the [[Council on Foreign Relations]]. Many of these government officials interact regularly in their professional duties.<ref>[http://www.cfr.org/publication/5041/uschina_relations.html?breadcrumb=%2Fbios%2F3373%2Fcarla_a_hills 1996 Council on Foreign Relations meeting transcript where Conable and Wolfowitz refer to Cornell affiliation]</ref> At least five members of [[George W. Bush]]'s administration were Quill and Dagger members: [[Stephen Friedman (PFIAB)|Stephen Friedman]], [[Stephen Krasner]], [[Paul Wolfowitz]], [[Stephen Hadley]], and Carol Kuntz. President [[Barack Obama]]'s administration included Deputy Secretary of Labor [[Seth Harris]], Associate Counsel to the President [[Alison J.

During the 1930s through 1950s, the chairmen of [[Standard Oil]],<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20060902182619/http://www.hbs.edu/leadership/database/leaders/888/ </ref> [[Sun Oil]] (now Sunoco),<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070319160358/http://ezra.cornell.edu/posting.php?timestamp=840686400#question1 </ref> and [[Continental Oil]] (now ConocoPhillips) companies were Quill and Dagger members, and many other advanced positions in these corporations were held by society members. Younger members who entered the oil industry at this time would gain industry prominence later in the century, with one becoming chairman of [[Amoco]] in the 1990s.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20061018141256/http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Oct05/Fuller.gift.html </ref> In the 1960s, the management of [[Union Carbide]], the oldest chemical and polymer company in the country, passed directly from one member to another.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071217184316/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,870773,00.html?promoid=googlep</ref> In recent years, similar networking appears to be at work in the leading investment banks.

==Member list==
 +
The Quill and Dagger Society selects new undergraduate members in the spring of their junior year or fall of their senior year. A small number of honorary members have been selected since the society's founding, usually qualified individuals who were not eligible for membership as undergraduates, such as [[Janet Reno]] and [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], both of whom graduated before the society accepted women. Cornell Presidents [[Dale R. Corson]], [[Frank H.T. Rhodes]], [[Hunter R. Rawlings III]], and [[Jeffrey S. Lehman|Jeffrey Lehman]] all hold membership in the society as well.
 +
 +
Membership is published in ''[[The Cornell Daily Sun]]'' each semester. Other sources of membership lists include ''[[The New York Times]]'' during the 1920s and 1930s, ''The Cornell Alumni News'' from 1899 to 1961, and ''The Cornellian'' yearbook. This list contains notable individuals who were selected for membership as undergraduates. Class years are listed in parentheses.

A Cornell based student society often compared with Yale University's Skull and Bones.

Official narrative

Wikipedia reported as of 2015 that the group "seeks to recognize exemplary undergraduates at Cornell University who have shown leadership, character, and dedication to service".[1]

Secrecy

Although membership used to be secret, the new membership is published. The activities and discussions of the group remain private.

Members

From 1913 to 1984, Quill and Dagger had at least one member in the U.S. Congress every single year. In recent decades, the society has had a strong presence in the U.S. State Department and related government positions, with two National Security Advisors,[2] two Directors of Policy Planning, and numerous assistant secretaries and senior advisers. Additionally, two members recently served as World Bank presidents, and many members serve on the Council on Foreign Relations. Many of these government officials interact regularly in their professional duties.[3] At least five members of George W. Bush's administration were Quill and Dagger members: Stephen Friedman, Stephen Krasner, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, and Carol Kuntz. President Barack Obama's administration included Deputy Secretary of Labor Seth Harris, Associate Counsel to the President Alison J. Nathan, Deputy Director of the Office of Environmental Quality Gary Guzy, and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Markets Mary J. Miller.

During the 1930s through 1950s, the chairmen of Standard Oil,[4] Sun Oil (now Sunoco),[5] and Continental Oil (now ConocoPhillips) companies were Quill and Dagger members, and many other advanced positions in these corporations were held by society members. Younger members who entered the oil industry at this time would gain industry prominence later in the century, with one becoming chairman of Amoco in the 1990s.[6] In the 1960s, the management of Union Carbide, the oldest chemical and polymer company in the country, passed directly from one member to another.[7] In recent years, similar networking appears to be at work in the leading investment banks.

Member list

The Quill and Dagger Society selects new undergraduate members in the spring of their junior year or fall of their senior year. A small number of honorary members have been selected since the society's founding, usually qualified individuals who were not eligible for membership as undergraduates, such as Janet Reno and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, both of whom graduated before the society accepted women. Cornell Presidents Dale R. Corson, Frank H.T. Rhodes, Hunter R. Rawlings III, and Jeffrey Lehman all hold membership in the society as well.

Membership is published in The Cornell Daily Sun each semester. Other sources of membership lists include The New York Times during the 1920s and 1930s, The Cornell Alumni News from 1899 to 1961, and The Cornellian yearbook.
