has gloss | eng: Episkopon (Greek: Επισκοπῶν, sometimes spelled "Episcopon" earlier in its history) is a controversial secret society active at, but currently disassociated from Trinity College in the University of Toronto that dates back to 1858. The society purports that its namesake, the "Venerable Father Episkopon" (from the Greek word "episkopos") is Trinity's indwelling spirit of guidance. Tradition holds that the words of the Venerable Father are delivered to undergraduates through the utterances of a "Scribe", accompanied by a human skull reverently displayed at Episkopon gatherings. An affiliated (but separate) all-female incarnation of Episkopon also exists. |
