Shortly after the opening of the University in 1912 it was felt that one of the greatest needs for the welfare of the undergraduates was a Union, and this feeling culminated in a meet- ing in October of the same year at which the Union was declared to be formed. The chairman on that occasion was Dr. F. Clarke, And be stated that the reason for the formation of the Union was to mother the other clubs, they being sporting clubs that were already in existence. At the same time a hope was expressed that the Union would in the very near future have a building of its own. That hope. that dream had beon realised and the architects had erected a most artistic building which they feit sure would not orly be or lament al but useful. At the sine meet. ing Sir Henry May, who was then Governor of the Colony. was ask ed to become the President, and in November, f the same year the -inaugural-dinner was held in the Great Hall, under the presidency of Sir Henry May, and wisan un qualified success The building which up to its present had housed the Lion, conFISTING AS i did of four walls and a "ronf. was whodiy inad qua'e and ut terly unsuitable for the require. ments of bealthy undergraduates.
