...with infinite regret and not a little shame that we chronicle the approaching death of the Harvard Cooperative Society, just when several of the largest colleges in the country are following what seemed the example of our success. "Harvard indifference" is no mere bugbear or vague generality, for Harvard indifference has killed our Co-operative Society. With the '82 , '83 and '84 men, it was almost a matter of principle to support the society and to buy through it what they could.

...part of the prose writing falls upon a single man. As he graduates next spring, there is an absolute necessity that there should be new men ready to continue the work.

The number of men in attendance was so small that the assemblage actually looked lonesome within the walls of a hall of so diminutive proportions as Holden...
...enthralls the college now. It is the duty of every man who is able to support the captain in his efforts to wrest victory from the very jaws of defeat. If these words go unheeded, and defeat once more be our lot, it will be only just that the shame of it fall on those men who have contributed to bring it on, by their shameful neglect and inactivity...
