Excerpt from Union Book of 1902: Being the Contribution of the Sydney University Union to the Celebration of the Jubilee of the University (1852-1902) Perhaps even to Union men the Union Jubilee book will helpfully begin with some forewords explanatory of the aim and method of its compilation. For others a little more about its origins may well be provided. Something of the former kind is indeed necessary, since the design originally announced has not been wholly followed; and the Historical Account of the Union with which the Editorial Committee wished, and almost promised, to crown its labours has had to be excluded by the fast limits of time and space - more immediately the latter, for still "a penny can do more than it may." But the Union Book remains, in its essentials, as it was first projected, and should win acceptance for the happy old associations it will renew, for its value as a permanent record of some important Union interests and doings during the greater part of the first fifty years existence of the University, and for the help it will give towards expressing, at an appropriate time, some of the inner worth of University life as it has been known to successive generations of Sydney alumni.
