The Baker's Dozen of Yale University

Rousing times with our alums

Never was the rich history of the Baker’s Dozen made more apparent than when over 100 alumni flooded Yale’s campus for our 60th anniversary last April. The three days of songs, stories, banquets, and competitions provided even more evidence of the everlasting and resilient BD camaraderie.

Yet it doesn’t take a blowout reunion to see the lasting bonds formed in the Baker’s Dozen. Alumni provide immeasurable support and energy each year, turning out in large numbers for Spring Jam and other on-campus events. When on tour, we make an effort to catch-up with alums wherever we can find them, and many of the BDs' most extraordinary times have come as a result of opportunities provided by alums. Most importantly, alumni provide the living, breathing connection to the history of the group. Sixty years of tradition lie at the heart of the BD experience, and thanks to its active alums, the tradition remains alive.
