...College, or of the Episcopal Theological School is entitled to become a participating member of the Society and thus to obtain an annual dividend on practically all purchases made during the year at the Society's store. This dividend amounted, last year, to eight per cent., and the directors expect that this rate will be maintained and possibly augmented. During the 25 years of its existence the Co-operative Society has returned to its members in dividends a sum well in excess of $100,000 in addition to its work in materially lowering the average scale of prices charged...

Although we expect victory in the track-meet today, we shall watch the performances with interest as a basis for estimating our chances in the Mott Haven and intercollegiate meets which are to follow. In no other sport are the possibilities for developing men quickly so great as in track athletics, and the opportunity for bringing out these men by actual competition...
