Until the early twenty-first century, night-owls reported seeing and hearing strange things coming from the Beinecke. Every so often, passersby even swore that the building disappeared entirely, though local authorities brushed these claims off as mere figments of the imaginations of a few drunk bar patrons. 

 

However, as members of our enemy societies rose to power within the Yale administration, the Beinecke, along with most other potential meeting locations on campus, became virtually impenetrable. If we were to meet, we’d have to do it secretly in downtown New Haven.
