The Union was founded in 1899, the building being the gift of Major Henry Lee Higginson, who acted as president until his death last year. From the date of its foundation until 1917 the Union was operated apart from the University. In 1917 its functions were temporarily suspended. During the war it was used one year as a University dining hall and one year as a mess hall for the Ensign and Radio Schools. After the war, the Corporation decided to take over the Union as a part of the University. It was then that the large lecture program which had never been arranged before was inaugurated. No change in the general policy of the Union is contemplated for this year.
