Student social life at McGill covers a wide spectrum ranging from
rambunctious snowball battles on the lower campus to the dignified
formality of a graduation ball. Nor have such activities been restricted
to the main campus, as the adventures over the years of the various
outdoor clubs testify. For more then a century student newspapers,
including since 1911 the McGill Daily, and other publications have
formed a vital part of life on campus. McGill students also have a long
tradition of enthusiastic participation in musical and theatrical
productions, the most famous being the national tour in 1957 of McGill's
musical "My Fur Lady". Banquets, pub nights, dances, winter carnival
celebrations and a variety of social club functions likewise add their
own dimension to social activities.
