They wanted to established a coeducational senior society based on Elihu Club at Yale University. [3] Fire and Skoal received college recognition and was Dartmouth's first coeducational senior society. [2] [3] [4]
Fire and Skoal is currently a secret society, although it used to be a non-secret or public society. [2] [5] [3] Its purpose was to establish an environment to discuss economic, political, and social issues, as well as providing a way for future leadees to be involved in those issues. [2] The name, Fire and Skoal, came from the "Hanover Winter Song" and refers to the spirit of camaraderie and friendship. [3]
Weekly, Fire and Skoal's members meet to discuss and debate campus and world issues. [3] The society invites professors and guest speakers to their meetings. [3] [6] It also hosts social events. [3]
The society moved to a house at 29 South Park Street in the fall of 1978. [2] [3] The house built between 1893 and 1896. [7] It was the residence of C. H. Richardson and Edwin Case in 1896. [7] W. H. Moore was its owner by 1931, followed by Dartmouth College in 1978. [7] [3] [8]
Fire and Skoal membership is co-ed, secret, and exclusive. [2] [5] It has around thirty active members who are seniors. [2] [3] Active members select the next year's members during their junior year in a college-wide selection process known as tapping. [5] [3] Every winter and spring, juniors are tapped for the senior societies through a process semi-coordinated through the college. [1] [5] Members carry identifying canes or walking sticks at commencement. [5] [9]
