...accordance with a well established precedent a freshman glee club will be organized this year. With a class of the size of Ninety-three we may certainly expect a creditable club. Its success, however, as well as that of every other college organization, depends ultimately upon the students. If the club is to be representative the men themselves must make a personal effort to have it such; and certainly incentives to this end are not wanting. The freshman clubs of previous years have all been very enjoyable organizations, and each year an increased number of concerts have been given...

Whether or not any men have actually been developed for the 'varsity eleven remains yet to be seen; but however this may be, there has certainly been an enthusiasm aroused which must if not directly, yet indirectly help the cause of football here.

And yet it does seem almost a disgrace that such an obstacle should be so powerful. There certainly is no improvement needed half so much as the one for which we now ask. Our president himself has already called careful attention to the subject in his last annual report...
