...Undergraduates' Economics Society will be held in the Trophy Room of the Union next Wednesday evening at 8.15 o'clock. The formation of such a body has received the endorsement of a number of the Faculty, among them Professor Taussig; and a canvass of students shows that undergraduate opinion is in favor...
...there is room for improvement. To make the Union what it should be is a problem, the solution of which rests primarily with the undergraduates; the alumni have done their part. The greatest difficulty in managing the Union has been in finding out just what the student body wants.

It is fortunate that this subject should have been chosen at a time when the Union has been the object of comment and criticism which in the main has been merely unsupported individual opinion. The fact, however, of this criticism proves strikingly what has long been realized--that, as the Harvard Union is a great opportunity for Harvard students, so too, is it a great problem. The Union stands today as the greatest material tribute to college democracy in the country and it is the problem which...
