Arrangements have just been completed concerning a permanent Harvard Forum. Meetings for student discussion of questions of University and public interest will be held from time to time in the Union, and will be under the immediate direction of the Speakers' Club, with the co-operation of the Governing Board of the Union. The membership of the Forum will consist of all members of the Union and the Speakers' Club. The meetings will begin immediately after the fall athletic season is over, and will be held at regular intervals...
...fully agree with your correspondent of November 5 that no "detached Forum can be a success" in the University and that "the Harvard Union should be the permanent home" of the Forum here, as the Oxford Union is of the very successful Forum in Oxford. But both of these Unions must depend on their membership fees for annual support.

...Harvard Union can never entirely fill its proper place unless it affords a common interest, as well as a meeting place, for its members. Debating, of the parliamentary as opposed to the special pleading type, seems to me the only solution. Conversely, I do not believe that any "Forum" can take a permanent place in the life of the College so long as it remains homeless and unattached. The Union is the obvious and the necessary place for general discussion of affairs of interest. FREDERIC SCHENCK...
...first University forum which met last night to discuss the political situation was successful beyond expectation. The meeting was first called in Emerson A, but as over 200 men were present, it was found necessary to remove to room D as first announced...
