IWagier i Lantern night activities are leading to the growth of a new tradition among the freshmen women at the University, namely, thew freshman pageant. It was held for the first. time last year and plans are no0w being! miade for this year's p~resentation. In establishing an annual event of this: nature, Michigan women are venturing into a field of activity which has been' entered by other college undergrad- uates and is considered one of their! finest traditions. Barnard college has given a pageant annually since 1903. At that time the class of 1905, as sophomores, challeng- ed the class of 1906 to a contest in athletics and poetry. It was vaguely" modelled on the great games of an- cient Greece. The classes met in the spring ,14 the Bfinckerhoff theaptre,j New Vork. An invocation to the'gods opened the ceremonies, the contes- tants were chosen by lot, and omens were read. -Contests were held in poetry, archery, jumping, wrestling, and the tug-of-war, of which all were won b~y sophomores except archery, and the tug-of-war, which ended in a tie.. Froma this beginning, the Greek gamnes of Barnard college have de- veloped annually, due to the interest of the students themselves. As out- lined abcove, tihe interest was mainly in athletics, but tile class of 1910, i its sophomore year introdluced tile chloruis and1 the dance.
