There is, perhaps, no institution of Harvard more deserving and more neglected than the Harvard Union. The approaching debates aimed directly at a discussion of the purposes and results of the present political campaign will furnish an opportunity for what, judging from the late canvass of the college, should prove a most highly instructing review of the political outlook. Every student should feel it incumbent upon him to attend and lend his voice to a popular decision. We who are the future citizens of the country can well afford a preliminary study of the present political methods. The close vote of the college should provoke a determined stand on both sides. The purpose of the Union is highly practical and deserves the enthusiastic support of the entire university. The topic for preliminary discussion is well chosen and peculiarly applicable in the present campaign. The law school deserves a hearing and no occasion could be so favorable as in the presence of a mass meeting of Harvard students.
