Being the first of the open-houses to organize, Lindgren has gained a tradition of leadership throughout the past few years. The House takes its name from John R. Lindgren, one of the early trustees of the Uni- versity and one of the founders of the quadrangle system. The Lindgren family coat-of-arms was adopted as the House crest. During the past year, Lindgren has been active in campus affairs. The House this year won second prize in the men's division of Homecoming Frolics. Men such as Jack White, Lew Carnegie, and Seymour Greenberg, have represented house interests in the Student Governing Board, the Inter-House Council, the Student-Fac- ulty-Alumni Committee of President Snyder, the.Daily Northwestern, the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet, varsity athletics, and the Junior Prom. ln 1939, the fol- lowing officers controlled House affairs, Lew Carnegie, President, Stan Seimer, Vice-President, Bob Eck, Secretary, Ollie Wolcott, Treasurer, and Jack White, Social Chairman. At the beginning of the second semester, three new officers began their terms of office. They are, Jack White, Presi- dent, Bob Morris, Vice-President, and Bob Zohbel, Social Chairman. The new administration is concentrating its efforts in planning a program that will keep on with the good work started by the preceding officers and which will help keep the alumni of the House in closer contact with House activities and the present members. 30
