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.
