Editing Chalmers Students' Union (section)

== History ==

The union was founded in 1904, and the first charter of the organisation was adopted in 1906. In 1911 a proposal to start [[The Cortège]], an annual [[carnival|carnival parade]] now seen by 250,000 people each year, was accepted. The union's own [[magazine]] ''Tofsen'' was first published in 1944, and ChS obtained its first union building ''Lopphuset'' that same year. A new union building was opened in 1952. The union owns several [[corporations]], including ''Cremona'', a bookstore which became an [[aktiebolag]] in 1988. A new union building was inaugurated in 2001. The building was drawn by [[Gert Wingårdh]] and won the [[Kasper Salin Prize]] that year.
