...considerable sacrifices of time for the service of the Society ought to be paid. The Harvard Corporation is an excellent example: the President and Treasurer give their whole time to the service and receive salaries, and the other five members serve gratuitously, although their time and expert counsel are worth many thousands of dollars. Nevertheless of course when the co-operative character of the Society is given up the name "Co-operative" must also be stricken out. A body of trustees which fills its own vacancies, practically administers a charity for the benefit of Harvard students, by means...
...just been said that the proposed plan is not co-operative in effect,--it is obviously not so in form. It is worth while making this clear. The reorganization plan leaves to the trustees, wholly beyond review of the Society, the incurring of increased expenses, and above all the fixing of salaries.

...Maurice Maeterlinck," by H. S. Pollard--an essay written in such a lucid style and marked by such a clear and sympathetic understanding of the subject as to be equally pleasant and valuable. "The Misdirected Vengeance of Bucknell," by S. A. Welldon, is a strong story, well worth reading; "Greer's Dam," by L. M. Crosbie, is stronger in plot than in treatment...
