...Glee Club has a week, one is generally under Mr. Locke's direction, while the regualr leader of the club has charge of the other. This scheme has proved exceedingly beneficial to the club and account not a little for its present high standard.

...origin at one of the colleges at Cambridge University, England. Before 1865, it was usual to give a jackknife to the homeliest man in the class, a cane to the handsomest, and a wooden spoon to the man who ate the most. Shortly before this year the plan was abbreviated somewhat. The wooden spoon was given alone-not as hitherto to the man whose gastronomic powers were best developed-but to the most popular man in the class.
