List of Quill and Dagger members

Last updated

Quill and Dagger is a senior society founded at Cornell University in 1893. [1] [2] 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. [1] Cornell Presidents Dale R. Corson, Frank H.T. Rhodes, Hunter R. Rawlings III, and Jeffrey Lehman all hold membership in the society as well.

Contents

Membership is published in The Cornell Daily Sun each semester. [3] [2] 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 members who were selected for Quill and Dagger as undergraduates. Class years are listed in parentheses.
