Freshman Glee t\lthough the social life of the Cniversity is one of progressiveness ther<' has never yet been held as one of the regular social functions of the freshman class, tl~e Glee. This year the Sophomore Frolic was introduced

by the class o f 1907. It was also hoped that the youngest class of the college would make itself famou s by an innovation.

l\lany times the class has considered the proposition of giving the Glee and have always seemed favorable but they have. through some cause, failed to have the decision necessary to set the machinery in motion for the culmination of the function. i\lany rumors, and they are apparently wdl founded, have spread abroad to the effect that before the end of the year, sometime between .\pril 15 and July 4 the Freshmen Glee, 'o8 will be a thing of history. The class is one of immense ability to achieYc wonders if it can only get the start. J f, therefore, the Glee once becomes started, all may expect an affair which will eclipse an) thing ever before seen at the Cniversity. Since all the other classes are accorded the privilcg<' of holding, without fear of interruption from the other students, an annual class function which partakes of the nature of a college event it is only fitting that the class just entering the U niversity should be given the same privilege. It is also fitting that this event should occur as early in the year as is convenient, in order that then strangers might make known to the rest of the college just what sociabi lity they possess. 'l'he Freshman Glee can not possibly evade the U niversity of Idaho much longer. Rational predictions would prophesy that the next G1~111 Ofo' 'I' Ill路: l\lotl NTAI N will be able to record the event as it actually occurs; a prediction not too vague to be capable of fulfillment, might place the date of the Glee before this commencement.
