...will be possible for Harvard once for all, and under the most favorable conditions, to make a practical experiment in the matter of cooperation. Success or failure then will depend almost entirely upon the degree of active support given to the scheme by the members of the society. The plan at least merits a thorough trial by the university. Positive success or probable failure can safely be predicted by no one; the event alone can decide...
...Cooperative Association provides that the superintendent may give credit, limited as to time and amount, provided that the purchaser furnishes a bond to the amount of twenty-five dollars.

Some said that he had been asked to resign by the trustees, while the more general and well authenticated belief was, that President Garfield had offered him the position as minister to one of the courts of Europe. The death of the President overthrew this little plan, and the belief is that he accepted the presidency of the Agricultural College as a last resort, explaining his preference to that position to the presidency of Williams on the ground that this is a reform school, far too ignoble...
