Page "Glasgow University Union" Paragraph 44

After its impromptu initiation as a piano Sing-along by the then Honorary Secretary Osborne Henry Mavor on the last day of the 1909 Martinmas Academic term, the highlight of the Union's social calendar is the annual ' Daft Friday ' black tie ball which continues to be held at the end of the Martinmas term exam diet.

Over the years the event has become increasingly elaborate with the entire union building decorated to a theme and devoted to the festivities.

Daft Friday is held as a celebration for the president of the union.
