About the Club

The Yale Club of Boston is the primary organization connecting Yale alumni in eastern and central Massachusetts. At more than ten thousand strong, ours is the second-largest community of Yale alumni in the world.

Founded in 1866 as the Yale Alumni Association of Boston and its Vicinity, the Yale Club of Boston is also the second-oldest of the regional Yale clubs, edging out Chicago and outpacing the Yale Club of New York City by thirty-one years.

Today, we serve the area's Yale community in a host of ways. We introduce the newly-in-Boston to their fellow alumni and the newly-admitted to full-fledged Elis; we sponsor lectures, happy hours, and community service events throughout the year; and we carry the Yale torch for major events like Feb Club, the Yale Day of Service, and - of course - The Game.

In all, we strive to be worthy of the words delivered to the club by President Taft: "After the desire to merit the honor of one's family, there is no impulse so restraining and so impelling in the right direction as the desire to stand well first with the classmates you knew at Yale and, second, with Yale alumni."
