Much fault has been found at the indolent way in which members of the freshman class respond to calls made upon them by their college and class organizations. A short time ago freshmen with good voices were asked to try for the 'varsity glee club. Either from an inherent modesty or from pure laziness and selfishness, but very few freshmen paid any attention to the the appeal. Now a freshman banjo club is in progress of formation and the members of '92 still persist in refusing to bestir themselves. Class feeling and class pride, in so far as to equal if not excel the record of preceding classes, whether in athletics, literary work or musical or social organizations, seems to find little nourishment among the members of the freshman class. Despite the efforts made to form a freshman banjo club, through lack of enthusiasm the plan has proved unsuccessful. The freshmen, in their exclusiveness, do not seem to wish to mingle with classmates outside their own clique. Come, '92! Set aside this false modesty, this lack-a-daisical spirit, this laziness which has so far characterized you. Help your poor football team with all your might, be energetic enough to form a banjo club and glee club which will not be held up to ridicule. There is plenty of good material in the class to do all this, it is the right spirit which is lacking.
