The '''Scroll and Key Society''' is a [[secret society]] that was established by [[John Addison Porter]] at [[Yale University]], in [[18411842]]. It is one of several senior secret societies at Yale.

The founders of this society were students who were disappointed with [[Skull and Bones]] for its lack of substance and its classist tendencies. The founders modelled the society after the true spirit of merit and other such virtues that Skull and Bones professed, but failed to adhere to. Each year, fifteen members of the junior class are chosen as replacements by the society's senior members.
