...83.THE meeting of the Harvard Union of last night took place in Sever Hall. In spite of the cold weather and the meetings of several other societies on the same evening, the meeting was one of the most successful the Union has had. The question was: "Resolved, That co-education is desirable at Harvard." The regular disputants were, on the affirmative, Messrs. Firman and Mclnnes; and on the negative, Messrs. Thayer and Fuller. About a dozen members spoke from the House. Though the ballot on the merits of the question was two to one against co-education, the vote...
...local limits. Foremost among them were E. G. and H. L. Abbott, brothers, both of whom attained the rank of major, and both of whom were killed in battle. It was essentially a War Class.

The organization and continued success of the Harvard Union shows that it was a need recognized by a large number of the students. Besides this, about the usual number of smaller societies have been born, or have died, this year. In rowing and football our representatives did us credit, although they failed in winning the championship. In base ball...
...think that the Union is distinctly to be congratulated in having decided not to undertake a legislative branch. The object of the Union is to encourage debate on topics of general interest, not to countenance the quibbling and meaningless discussions into which a legislative branch would inevitably degenerate; besides, even the importance of a knowledge of parliamentary procedure, about which so much was said on Thursday evening, can be of little value to most of us. All else that was claimed for the legislative branch can legitimately be secured in the Union as it is; and it would have been...
