The third was a new edition of Miskatonic University (2005) by 'Sam Johnson & friends' published in late 2005. A copy of this out-of-print book is in Boston University's Special Collections, and Chaosium granted rights in 1997 to the Miskatonic University website to reuse some of this material for their website. Subtitled 'Where Science Meets the Mythos', this edition tried to merge and reconcile the Chaosium setting of Arkham Unveiled, the original Mythos sources, and historical 'period' details derived especially from 1920s Boston University, while also adding new items to the setting.
The second was Miskatonic University (1995), a full-length book by Sandy Antunes.

The first was a lengthy section in Arkham Unveiled (1990) by Keith Herber et al and put a full university setting around existing Mythos references. The institution has in the past financed expeditions to Antarctica ( HPL: At the Mountains of Madness, EXP: " Big Nasty", " A Pleasure in Madness") and Australia ( HPL: The Shadow Out of Time).Ĭhaosium has published several guides to the 1920s Miskatonic University. The following table lists the staff of Miskatonic University and their respective departments from Lovecraft's stories. Whether the Society is still in existence is unclear, as the majority of the alumni were murdered by a semi-human sorceress intent on using their power for her own gain. Somewhat analogous to Yale's Skull and Bones, it is rumoured to be heavily involved in the occult, with their emblem of an "Elizabethan cryptogram passed down from John Dee" which is "older than any Arabic writings we have." Founded in 1811, the exclusively-male Society has to date produced five senators, four federal court appellate judges, and one ambassador. Pulver's 2017 short story " A Walk in the Shadows", Miskatonic is shown to play host to a shadowy fraternity known as the Labyrinth Society. Walter Gilman attends classes at the university. The university's student body is implied to have been predominantly male throughout the early 20th century and the only female student mentioned is the infamous Asenath Waite. Other tomes include the Unaussprechlichen Kulten by Friedrich von Junzt and the fragmentary Book of Eibon.įaculty and Student Body Main article: Miskatonic University: Faculty, Staff, Student Body and Alumni Notable students The library holds one of the very few genuine copies of the Necronomicon.
