It is thought, however, that with a little urging by the society the Annex may be induced finally to consent. At one time the Annex endeavored to secure for itself from the college certain privileges in the use of the library, but its request was summarily refused. It is therefore thought that by voluntarily extending to it the privileges of its membership the Co-operative Society, a body representing the larger part of the students, can gracefully show its superior courtesy...
