Coverage
"In 1905, the founding fathers 'felt no need for restricting' the membership. The words 'white Gentile' were added to membership requirements in 1922. The same words, 'white Gentile,' were removed from the constitution in 1950. However, at the convention in 1956, they were reinserted... Following the 1954 convention, Middlebury, Colgate, and Cornell led a drive to force removal of the clause."
