...Directors made great efforts to draw members to that meeting; there had been active opposition immediately before it to the policy of the present Board; and it had been widely advertised that matters of vital importance were to be considered. It is the unanimous action of this meeting, which was the largest of recent years which is now attacked. If ever a matter has been settled by the active co-operation of the members of the Society, it was this vote on salaries. That it is attacked now is as practical and striking a demonstration as could be desired that...
...Hart's statement that the audit of the Co-operative Society's accounts was established by a student director, backed up by members of the Society, neither refutes nor weakens the contention that the Society has suffered from "unintelligent interference in matters of detail at the hands of the Board of Directors." The question of an audit, like the question of the publication of a detailed annual statement, is a question of public policy, not a question of administrative detail.

...heartily endorse Professor Hart's statement that none of the proposed shareholders can be familiar with the details of the Society's business; and we add that none of them could afford the time to make themselves familiar with those details.

...company instead of by the members as now. The stockholders, therefore, obviously should be men as familiar as possible with student needs and closely in touch with the student body that they may quickly feel any dissatisfaction which might arise from the conduct of the company by the Board of Directors. For this service, nobody has yet been suggested who would be better fitted than members of the several Faculties. And among so large a number as these Faculties comprise, five can always be found willing to assume the responsibilities of stockholders, if properly protected...
...President of the Society rules that in a matter of such great concern to the future of the Society, any alternative plan is "out of order." Hence the members of the Society have not the opportunity of knowing officially the reasons which actuated one member of the Board of Directors in withholding his assent from the plan. There is really no difference of interest between the directors and the members: we all wish the same thing, the perpetuation and success of the Harvard Co-operative Society, and we all respect and confide in the five gentlemen who are willing...
