Teachers Union Opens Membership Drive as Invitations Enter Mails

Opening its membership drive for the year, the Harvard Teachers Union late last week mailed a general statement of the organization's objectives and extended an invitation to join to all new members of the University faculty.

Constituted in 1935 os Local 431 of the American Federation of Teachers, the group now under President F. O. Matthiessen, professor of English, has as it chief objectives the improvement of teaching conditions in general within the University and the maintainance of a link between university teachers, secondary school teachers, and the trade union movement in general.

The statement announces plans for resumption of those activities curtailed during the war and a further resumption of the Union to meet the needs of a large returning teachers staff.

Those who received the pamphlet were invited to attend the next meeting of the Union on Thursday.
