Sphinx Head
The Sphinx Head Society is the oldest senior honor society at Cornell University. Sphinx Head recognizes Cornell senior men and women who have demonstrated respectable strength of character on top of a dedication to leadership and service at Cornell University.〔(10 faculty and staff members honored by Sphinx Head society ), page 14, ''Cornell Chronicle'', December 7, 2007〕 In 1929 ''The New York Times'' held that election into Sphinx Head and similar societies constituted "the highest non-scholastic honor within reach of undergraduates."〔(63 Juniors Elected to Cornell Societies ), ''The New York Times'', May 19, 1929, p. N3.〕
==Founding==
Sphinx Head was founded on October 11, 1890 by a group of ten men from the senior class.〔"History of Some of the Later Cornell Organizations", Cornell Alumni News, December 18, 1901, p. 89. http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/3166/12/004_12.pdf〕〔"The Sphinx Head: A Senior Society Recently Formed" Cornell Daily Sun, January 13th, 1891, p. 3. http://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/newscornell?a=d&srpos=1&cl=search&d=CDS18910113.2.3.4&e=--------20--1----The+Sphinx+Head;+A+Senior+Society+Recently+Formed-all〕 The Society was founded in order to "create and maintain a stronger feeling" for Cornell University and to promote "a closer and stronger friendship among members of the Senior class."〔 ''The New York Times'' referred to Sphinx Head as "a secret senior society of the nature of Skull and Bones," a senior honor society at Yale University of which Andrew Dickson White, Cornell University's cofounder and first president, was a member.〔"Cornell University", The New York Times, May 10, 1891.〕 White encouraged the formation of a secret society system on the Cornell campus.〔(The Secret Life of A.D.
