The Social Union.

The past year of the Social Union was successful in that there was a marked increase of instructors and pupils in each department over the preceding year. The membership between October and May consisted of sixty men and one hundred and seventeen women, and the total attendance was 3,062. In all there were 34 classes in English, history, languages, mathematics, and natural science, in addition to seven special classes in music. As a result of the spirit manifested throughout the year, nine dramatic entertainments, two concerts and an operetta were given by the members.

This year improvements have been made in the building, notably the remodelling of the junior members' room and the enlargement of the Brattle Hall stage from 800 to 1600 square feet. In addition to this 315 new books have been bought for the library from the proceeds of a fair held last winter.
