Yale University is home of the most influential US student society, Skull and Bones, and of two other senior societies[1] Scroll and Key and Wolf's Head. In his expose, America's Secret Establishment, Antony Sutton suggests that all three may in fact be closely aligned in purpose.
Skull and Bones

Skull and Bones is a secret society that has admitted 15 senior year students annually since it was founded in 1832[2]. Within 50 years, the group had effective control over the finances of Yale University. It continued to increase its influence, becoming an organ of great importance to the US deep state. Its continued importance in US deep politics is illustrated by the fact that the 2004 US Presidential election was a choice between two bonesmen:- John Kerry and George W. Bush.
CIA recruitment
Professor Norman Holmes Pearson co-founded and headed Yale's new American Studies program, in which scholarship became an instrument for promoting American interests during the Cold War, such as recruiting personnel for the CIA and other agencies. Popular among undergraduates, the program sought to instruct them in what the program viewed as the fundamentals of American civilization and thereby instill a sense of nationalism and national purpose. It was also used as a recruiting vehicle for foreign students who, after their return to their home countries, might be useful to US foreign policy objectives.[3]

Since 2002, Yale has hosted the Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program, a "four-month, full-time residential program based out of Yale’s International Leadership Center" during which time members are provided with "the opportunity to expand their vision, learn from each other, and grow personally and professionally" while receiving coaching and speaking at the university. "Fellows expand their global network by connecting with World Fellows in their cohort and with other Fellows spread throughout the world..."[4]
