Abstract
THE University Union, comprising the whole body of students of the University of Leeds, has decided to lend to the Government free of interest the sum of £1,000. In consequence of the postponement of the construction of the proposed swimming bath and of the extension of the existing gymnasium, the Union found itself with a balance of money which had been set aside for use in connexion with those new developments. In these circumstances the Union Committee felt that this money might appropriately be placed in the hands of the Government until such time as it can be devoted to its original purpose, that is until building work again becomes possible after the War. The University authorities approved of the Committee's proposal and of its wish to forego interest on the loan. The Union has also invested the sum of £400 in Defence Bonds.
