...solely and directly to the association were to be appointed this state of things could soon be remedied. The changes which have been suggested can be made only by the authority of the corporation, and their attention should be called to the matter.

...does not seem that we are unreasonable in making one more appeal to the generosity and to the patriotism as well, of all who call themselves Harvard students. No man but can give something, and no one but himself need know whether it be much or little. The box at the Co-operative is always ready. The meeting will succeed, have succeeded already; the only question is, shall the credit be due to us who will receive it, or shall we let others step forward and save...
