Yale University. Office of the Secretary

George Frederick Gundelfinger (1884 – 1974) graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1906. He received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale in 1909, and served as a professor of Mathematics from 1909 – 1913. After leaving Yale, Gundelfinger taught at several other institutions before retiring to Pennsylvania. He began a campaign to improve the morality of Yale men through his publication, "The New Fraternity." He was prolific and frequently mailed his works to the student body and administrators. The material he sent was considered offensive by the Yale administration, which brought Gundelfinger to the attention of the Postmaster General and Attorney General of Pennsylvania. Gundelfinger was tried and convicted of mailing obscene material through the U.S. postal system.
