...alternative of Woodrow Wilson Lodge, termed by President Robert F. Goheen an "important and promising" development, has been in existence little more than two years. In that time it has grown--with its sudden spurt this winter--to equal most of the clubs, and promises to become still larger. There are more than fifty sophomores in the Lodge now--a number greater than sophomore "sections" of all but one club; most of these fifty joined before Bicker started, not, according to Dean Lippincott, out of fear of Bicker, but purely by choice and from a feeling that the alternative...
