[Phi Beta Kappa]. Catalogue of the Connecticut Alpha of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. New Haven: Whitmore and Minor, Printers, August 1832.

Together with: [Phi Beta Kappa]. Yale College 1852.

Two early Phi Beta Kappa society catalogues, detailing membership and organization at Yale College. The 1832 catalogue includes names of members and officers from the inception of the Connecticut Alpha chapter in 1780 through 1832. The 1852 catalogue updates the Yale membership, providing insight into the evolving membership of this prestigious academic honor society. Both in original wraps, with wear commensurate with age. A fascinating pair of documents for those interested in Yale’s academic history and the origins of Phi Beta Kappa in the United States.
