: L- The Purdue Union Thomas F. Moran, Chairman Union Committee THE all-absorbing topic of interest on the campus this year has been the campaign for the Union building. Under the able leadership of Stanley S. Greene, ' 18, all members of the great Purdue family united enthusiastically in the common cause. In spite of many obstacles the campaign has progressed in a most gratifying way, and at the present writing pledges to the amount of $780,000 have been received. I consider the Purdue Union movement the most important single project ever launched at the University. Its importance far transcends that of the proposed Union building. The building will be simply the concrete embodiment of an idea. It will be the clearing-house for a large number of Purdue activities. It will be the main physical agency by means of which the Union organization will function and make itself effective. In a word, the Purdue Union is, or will be, an organization com- posed of all Purdue men and women — students and former students. Faculty, Alumni and Trustees — for the improvement of the individual and the betterment of the University as a whole. It is essentially a get- together movement. It is an attempt to make members of the Purdue family better acquainted with one another and with the purposes, ideals and needs of the University, and to unite them in a common cause.
