This was really just a foretaste of how the new Union Build ing will serve the needs of Alumni when they are on campus. Of course, the Library was not designed for the uses to which it was adapted at Commencement time, but the new Union Building has many features which will make it an ideal alumni rendezvous. YOUR GIFT TO THE UNION BUILDING FUND WILL BRING YOU IM MEASURABLE SATISFACTION BECAUSE IT WILL ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH An ideal alumni rendezvous . \ \. Officers ------—------ Hazen H.
