About fifty members of the Co-operative Society met last evening in Sever 11 to discuss the new plan for the conduction of the Society, published in Wednesday's issue. Professor Taussig explained the provisions of the new scheme, which were adopted by an unanimous vote, with a few unimportant amendments. It was moved by Mr. Furber that the business of the Society be thrown open to all members of the University for the remainder of the college year. An amendment that goods be sold to non-members at a slight advance on the regular price was lost. The original...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - Must we still, without an answer, hear the old cry for back nets on the tennis grounds. The three courts in the corner of Holmes which have them, have given proof of the practicability of the scheme, and if the Tennis Association will not furnish nets, will it not, at least, tell why? Again, if we must still suffer the "shack" system, will not the Association repeat its good work of last season and establish a fixed rate? Answers to these questions would be acceptable to more than...

...directors of the Co-operative Society propose, in the recommendations printed in another column, a scheme, which, if adopted, will make a considerable change in the Society's methods of doing business. The change would be practically to a plan very similar to that of the famous Rochdale Pioneers. Instead of selling goods at the lowest possible price, they are to be sold not much below ordinary retail prices, though still somewhat below them. On that method, the Society will naturally make profits; and these profits are to be divided at the end of each year among all members. That...
...greatest advantage of the new scheme is, as stated by the directors, that it would enable the Society to deal with all persons connected with the University. The Society ought to be a general agent for various objects, which it cannot touch at present. It ought, for instance, to print and sell at cost the various abstracts, summaries and outlines used in so many courses of instruction. It ought to import all the foreign text-books used. It cannot do these things while its dealings are restricted to its own members, an obstacle which is removed by the new scheme...
