The Prospect Union will open its nineteenth year of work in Cambridge next Monday evening at 744 Massachusetts avenue. The Union is an educational and social club for men, conducted by wage-earners and by students, and teachers from Harvard University. Its object is to extend to working-men opportunities for elementary, technical, commercial, and higher education, through evening classes and lectures, and to bring into mutually helpful contact working-men, students and teachers.

The Prospect Union has reorganized its system of work this year in order to make it more efficient and connected. All the courses will be divided into departments of allied subjects under the guidance of a chairman in each department, while the various courses will be given by different teachers.

An effort has been made to correlate all the work and thus enable any student to continue his courses from year to year toward a definite goal. All new applicants will consult a board of advisers who will determine their fitness to enter any course; in this way, they will only take the studies for which they are fully prepared and thus derive the greatest benefit. If an applicant is not prepared for any course he desires to take, every effort will be made to help him. This will be aided further by grouping the courses in the different departments which are similar or supplemental and arranging that four such courses can be taken without a conflict. Another new innovation will consist in examinations at the end of each term and certificates of satisfactory work.
