Like all self-respecting clubs, The Lambs has its traditions. No woman may ever brighten its doors. No dramatic critic (as with The Players) may ever become a member.

Thus the invitation which the Trinity vestry sent to Arthur Kinsolving this winter was a challenge. That he accepted it, putting aside the easy fame and popularity of Boston for the smaller prospects and pay of Princeton, may have been a surprise to those who take for granted...
