...second semester that is now being charged on the term bill. But the letter that was sent to commuters in February, asking them to come to Dudley Hall and "renew" their membership for the second semester, could well give rise to misunderstanding.

Only with the greatest difficulty can stockholders be persuaded to sign enough proxies for a quorum, let alone attend in person. The few stockholders who do attend can do little except talk, since the majority of the shares are generally voted, not by disinterested stockholder representatives, but by a management primarily interested in staying in office. Almost nothing short of scandal ever bestirs the absentee owners to a concerted effort to exercise...
