THE UNION'S PURPOSE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The CRIMSON prints a communication today in which a man who is not a member of the Union expresses his desire to be allowed its privileges. A representative of the Union management would say that it is precisely the object of the Union to make itself attractive. It wishes to do this in order to get men to join. It does not do the Union any good to have a man come in and listen to part of a lecture once a year, and it does not do the man any good either. The Union wants to get men to join and see something of one another there--in that respect it is purely philanthropic. But it would be defeating its own end if it extended its privileges so as to include a few men who might want to drop in for a lecture. There would be no object in joining--all the men who are now members would not join another year and the Union would perish financially.
