The Wicht Club was an irreverent, self-assembling society of Harvard University lecturers. From 1903 to 1911 it met monthly for informal dialogue to advance the members' scientific thought and expression. Today it would be seen as a professional development organization, but this group had its mascot (Das Wicht) and other terms:
Wichts : members
Wichtinnen : members' wives
Was Wichtiges : annual binding of members' scientific reprints
