THE VIRGINIA UNION.

The Virginia Union was organized for the general purpose of directing
and coördinating various phases of student activity. It has set for itself
the function of initiating, promoting, and supervising movements that merit
student attention and deserve student patronage. Its activities include intercollegiate
debating, oratorical contests, and through the coöperation of the faculty
Committee on Public Celebrations, the control of miscellaneous lectures, concerts,
and other entertainments. The union gives at least one public program each
term and holds informal entertainments at frequent intervals. Membership is
extended to students, faculty and alumni of the University, on payment of an
annual fee of two dollars. All business is conducted through an executive board
composed of both student and faculty members, elected annually.
