History
2003-4 the official club leadership passed to Jonathan, who lived in Currier third floor that year and kept the meetings in the same common room. Attendance increased markedly in the fall largely due to the game's popularity among a group of students on campus to work there the previous summer, when a lot of new players, particularly '05s, were taught.

This school year two notable events in the Bridge Club's history occurred: During [[Winter Study]] '04, Matthew Spencer '05 had the idea to teach bridge as a [[Free University]] class. The class was surprisingly popular: sessions were held in the hour before the weekly social bridge night, so that at the end of class experienced players would arrive and give new players the opportunity to try what they had learned in real games. As many as a half dozen students showed for the beginning classes, and at times bridge filled both the north and south common rooms, with over 20 people playing.
