List of defunct Johns Hopkins University societies
Through the years, many secret societies, senior societies and other groups have been founded at Johns Hopkins. They are similar to the societies found at peer institutions, similar to an Eating club or Final club. The dominance of Greek letter societies prevented most of these societies from acquiring the same amount of property or prominence on campus. Most of these societies were founded at the beginning of the university and played a significant role in the early development of the student body. Almost all of the societies presented below are either defunct or non-existent. Because of their age, most of the records associated with them have been lost, giving an incomplete picture. Current members of the university community can recall little, if anything, about them. In fact, The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published an article citing the lack of any secret societies at the university, although the archives indicate the existence of several.〔http://media.www.jhunewsletter.com/media/storage/paper932/news/2006/02/10/Features/Uncovering.A.NotSoSecret.Hopkins.Past-2242497.shtml〕
Remaining records about these organizations are mostly from the ''Hullabaloo'' (yearbook), the ''Alumni Magazine'' and donations from alumni to the university special collections and archives. Neither the table below, nor the article, are a complete list; many organizations are briefly mentioned in the archives, but not enough information has been found to be included.
==The Cane Club==
The Cane Club are an elite secret society that once met in Baltimore's speakeasies during Prohibition for "the gentlemanly indulgence of forbidden beverages," and is now believed to meet at the Temple of the Scottish Rite near Homewood Campus. Founded in the early 1920s, "The Canes" were founded as a "Junior-Senior Honor Society."〔The Johns Hopkins University. ''Hullabaloo''. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins UP, 1921. Print.〕 In public initiations known as "knightings," new members would be struck with canes. They are noted for an annual parade in which members walk through the campus wearing flowers.〔Toledano, Ralph, and Victor Lasky. "Seeds of Treason." ''Newsweek'', March 1950. Print.〕 The Canes recruit academically talented students and top achieving athletes, a number of whom are known to have served on the Student Council. One of the few public records that exists describes a mandate to uphold an "atmosphere of gentility of bygone days." The Cane Club is active.
One prominent member was Alger Hiss, who at Johns Hopkins was voted most popular student and elected Student Council president in 1926. His distinguished career as a statesman ended when he was accused by Senator Joseph McCarthy of disloyalty to the United States. Another prominent member of Baltimore society was Charles A. Conklin III, founder, president and chairman emeritus of Lyon-Conklin and Co. Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-03-27/news/1994086064_1_johns-hopkins-university-conklin-hopkins-engineering )〕
