Illinois Union
The heart of campus activities for men.
Thousands wear the Indian head,
Both leaders and the many led,
And proud are they to proclaim by that token
  Illinois Union.

So wide its field the departments now are five
That try to serve and are in charge
Of functions, various and large.
The organizations which together thrive;—
  Illinois Union.

A busy hive is old Illini Hall
With offices and book-exchange
And lounge where no one can feel strange.
Director of Homecoming every fall,
  Illinois Union.

Today, its members spread thruout the land
To Union ideals do these inscribe
And together form a mighty tribe.
Forever may it flourish and expand,
  Illinois Union.
