FOREWORD Look through these pages and be convinced that Union University is really a great, growing, up-to-date school. Observe the numbers, the enthusiasm, and the variety of courses, activities, and advantages. Few schools have more spirit and pep, which indicates vigor and life. Young folks like it because it gives them the spirit and enthusiasm necessary to enter successfully in the conflict of life. Union literally pulsates with the vigor and enthusiasm of young life, and yet there is all of the time a sense of tremendous energy under fine control, which gives a pleasing sense of power, security, and efficiency. It is just the atmosphere to please the choicest young people, and it develops the best that is within them. LOCATION Jackon is a city of 20,000 people, and situated in the very heart of West Tennessee. There is not a more accessible place anywhere. Railroads radiate out in eight directions. Three national highways intersect here. There are twenty-eight trains with an unexcelled schedule. Literally thousands of high school graduates can reach Jackson without a change of train, ackson is a church-going town. Fifty per cent of the population have their names on church books, and $750,000 is the investment in church buildings. What city of 20,000 can equal this record? The climate is fine, and the water supply can hardly be equaled. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT Union has five buildings: Barton Hall (Administration Building), Lovelace Hall (for young ladies). Conservatory (a self-boarding hall for young ladies), Adam ' s Hall (for young men) and the power house. These buildings and the grounds cannot be leplaced for $400,000. The endowment is $140,000, and Union ' s remaining part of the 75 million fund is $275,000, or a total of $815,000. ATTENDANCE The enrollment for the past year was 741 against 157 in 1914 The summer school which is in session at the time this article is written has already gone above 325, which far surpasses any previous record. The outlook for next fall ' s enrollment is equally flattering.
