The scheme for instituting a Students' Union in the University of St Andrews was initiated by the Students' Representative Council. After securing the approval of the Students as expressed at a mass meeting, the Council invited the co-operation of the Professors and several influential friends of the University. These consented to act as Patrons of the Scheme. By means of a Bazaar, held in 1887, and by Entertainments and Lectures arranged for by the Union Committee, a sum of over £2100 was raised. For three years the Union was carried on in premises in the Imperial Hotel. In January 1892 the present premises at Butts Wynd were entered, and there the Union will be permanently situated. The members enjoy the advantages of a large reading-room, billiard-room, smoking-room, writing-room, and accommodation for meetings and other requirements. The fee of membership is six shillings.

The general management of the Union is vested in the Governing Board, subject to the conditions that the Trustees shall be consulted in all money matters, and that the Students' Representative Council shall have the entire internal management.

The Trustees are the Earl of Elgin, Sheriff Æneas Mackay, and Principal Donaldson.

The Governing Board consists of Principal Donaldson, Prin

cipal Stewart, Professors Lang, M'Intosh, Burnet, and Herkless, Mr H. B. Simson, Dr R. Moir, Mr James Cunningham, along with nine matriculated Students of the University elected annually by the Representative Council.

Principal Donaldson presides at the meetings of the Board.

The Secretary is Mr S. L. Clarke, and the Treasurer is Mr F. S. Douglas.
