It is now two months since the term began and the freshman musical clubs have given no account of themselves. In former years a freshman glee club and a freshman banjo club have been among the first organizations to be effected. This year, so far as we can ascertain, the glee club has not progressed so far as to select a leader and no banjo club has been formed at all. We suspect the fault lies chiefly with the 'varsity organizations, which have a general charge of the beginning of the freshman clubs, but which have been absorbed this year in the Christmas trip. Whosever fault it is, it is unfortunate for all concerned. Freshman clubs, especially those of a social nature at all, are valuable in bringing some of the class into intimate relations and are a great pleasure to the members. But they are also very serviceable in bringing out lights that otherwise remain four years under a bushel. The 'varsity clubs should recognize this.
