...report of the special committee of the Student Council, which investigated this question a short time ago, recommended compulsory membership as the only solution of the present difficulties. The Union holds a place in the University which cannot be filled by any other organization. With the proper support, its usefulness could be made much greater. Without support, it is only a question of time before it must close its doors. Hence the real issue is whether the Union is to continue its existence, and grow into that place which Major Higginson intended it to fill when he gave the money...

...capricious changes of fashion in girls: "Lissome Julia anatomically slight," "Robust Julia, playing golf and swimming harder," Suffrage Julia "prances in the [poet's] limelight." Witter Bynner is not up to his poetic form in "Though Wisdom Dies." Wisdom is a theme which cannot be completely developed in two short stanzas nor can imagination be "uncurled small as forget-me-nots." The characteristics of the verse of this number are cleverness, insight, a sure, light touch, and a sense of the sober humor of the contrasts of life...
