Union Versus Private Clubs.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The annual dinner given to the judges and debaters after the University debate will this year be held in a private club. The relation between the club and the Debating Council is purely a business one, established because the club was able to offer better accommodations at a smaller price than the Union, where these dinners have always been held. The Union was founded largely to counteract the influence and necessity of private clubs. It seems strange that the Union, with all its superior facilities, cannot serve its purpose in this particular instance. Such a condition should be investigated and remedied. HERBERT B. EHRMANN '12
