...proved by practical experience. The essence of cooperation is cooperation, and the secret of success is concentration. Therefore, if cooperation at Harvard is to look for any success at all, all efforts towards it should be concentrated for the success of one experiment in the matter. No harder blow could be struck at the prospects of a cooperative society at Harvard than the failure of her cooperative dining association; for it would seem a most useless waste of enthusiasm to attempt success in one, where failure had resulted in another.
