For 141 years The Signet Society has played a major role in the intellectual, literary, and artistic life of Harvard College. Founded in 1870 by members of the Class of 1871, the Signet has flourished as a unique Harvard tradition ever since. Composed of students, faculty, and other persons at Harvard College, The Signet Society is officially recognized by Harvard College as an active undergraduate extracurricular organization. Signet membership continues to be based on criteria set up over a century ago: character, intellectual achievement, literary or artistic talent, and an interest in the humanities and the creative arts.
