The Skeleton Project

If anybody ever knew I think they would be shocked. From wiki:

(founded in 1872) is a private men’s fine arts club based in San Francisco, California, with a membership of many prominent local and global leaders. In its diverse membership, and ranging from artists and musicians to leading businessmen, it was modelled on the prominent Century Club, based in New York.

The club was originally formed exclusively by journalists, who lamented the lack of art and culture in post-gold rush San Francisco, and wanted to capture something of “la vie boheme” which had become popularized among the avant garde of the United States at the time. It was quickly apparent that the group needed to relax its rules for membership, and start permitting some people with no artistic talent but with major financial resources to join. Pretty soon, the “bohemian” writers were on their way out and the wealthy and powerful were in control of the club—which remains true today. The membership lists are private and only a few people outside of the club have ever seen them. Some prominent figures are given honorary membership only, Richard Nixon and William Randolph Hearst being two notable examples.

Members include some U.S. presidents (usually before they are elected to office), many cabinet officials, and CEOs of large corporations, including major financial institutions. Major military contractors, oil companies, banks (including the Federal Reserve), utilities, and national media have high-ranking officials as club members or guests. Many members are, or have been, on the board of directors of several of these corporations. However, artists and lovers of art are still among the most active members of the club and the Club’s bylaws still require that there be a certain number of artists, writers, and other academics.
