It was expected when the 'varsity glee club took full charge of the work of the freshman glee club this year that there would be an end of the usual delays and loss of time, and that the freshmen would settle down early to the real business of developing a good club. Beyond the trial for candidates, however, nothing at all has been done yet. The responsibility for this plainly rests with the 'varsity club. It is true that the 'varsity club is just now very busy getting ready for the Christmas trip; but even this important work should not prevent its officers from giving some time to the freshmen. It is stated that there is an abundance of good material in this year's class, and this fact makes it all the more advisable that the freshman club be started in its work at once and be carefully trained. Managed with care and discretion the club will certainly prove a valuable auxiliary to the 'varsity. Besides, it is unjust to the class that the work of developing its glee club be delayed. The club is one of the sources from which the freshman crew derives its support. It is, moreover, one of the pleasantest social organizations of the freshman year. Those who are responsible for the delay in beginning the work should consider all this and be stirred to action.
