...Cooperative Association provides that the superintendent may give credit, limited as to time and amount, provided that the purchaser furnishes a bond to the amount of twenty-five dollars. There will, doubtless, be considerable discussion over this article at the meeting this evening, and we would suggest a plan which certainly would induce a larger number of students to patronize the association. Let credit be given to a certain amount for articles purchased and the amount charged on the term bills. Many students will patronize the tradesmen, even if they pay a higher price, provided that they can obtain credit...

...resignation. Some said that he had been asked to resign by the trustees, while the more general and well authenticated belief was, that President Garfield had offered him the position as minister to one of the courts of Europe. The death of the President overthrew this little plan, and the belief is that he accepted the presidency of the Agricultural College as a last resort, explaining his preference to that position to the presidency of Williams on the ground that this is a reform school, far too ignoble...
