The Duke's Men Of Yale
Doox of Yale (formerly The Duke's Men of Yale) are an all-gender undergraduate a cappella group at Yale University. The group was founded by first-year students in 1952, and was the first TTBB a cappella group at Yale to become all-gender in 2017. History The Duke's Men formed in 1952 when Basil "Duke" Henning, a former member of the Whiffenpoofs and the master of Saybrook College, stole an arrangement from the 'Whiffs' and presented it to four of his first-year students. In the fall of 2017, the Duke's Men became Yale's first historically all-male a cappella group to abolish gender restrictions. The group is widely considered to be a feeder to the Whiffenpoofs, and its announcement placed additional pressure on the world's oldest collegiate a cappella group to begin admitting non-male singers; within a year, the Whiffenpoofs followed suit and admitted the group's first female singer in its 109-year history. In 2018, the Duke's Men changed its official name to Doox of Yale, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
