According to the terms of the articles of the proposed Cooperative Society it will require the signature of at least four hundred members before actual business operations can be commenced by the managers. That such a precautionary provision should have been made was undoubtedly necessary to insure reasonable chances of success in case the undertaking be actually begun. And if the required number of names be secured, as there seem grounds to hope will be the case, it will be possible for Harvard once for all, and under the most favorable conditions, to make a practical experiment in the matter...
...income of the society shall be derived from the annual fees of members, a commission of 5 per cent. charged on sales of second-hand articles, and a percentage of not more than 5 per cent. charged above the actual cost price on other articles sold to members.

Still, the failure of the Register will be likely to prevent any future schemes of such a sort for a long time to come. Nevertheless, the Register was called into being to supply an actual need of the college at the time; its fault was, that it more than supplied that want. Now that that paper has died, the same want again exists, after having been once partially satisfied. That want is not now, we believe, by any means adequately supplied by the University Bulletin...
