The Co-operative Society is now making up its list of affiliated tradesmen for the ensuing year. The list is to be somewhat extended and thoroughly revised in order that it may be as complete and satisfactory as possible. To this end the superintendent would be pleased to receive any suggestions from members concerning additions or corrections in the list. It is also the desire of the superintendent of the society to systematise and perfect the business methods of the society during the coming year as much as possible. The chief and almost the only cause of complaint that has heretofore been heard against the society has been concerning the delays in the delivery of books. The management hope to obviate this difficulty as far as possible, although they are aware that one of the chief obstacles to the accomplishment of this purpose lies with members themselves, who frequently fail to give sufficient notice to the society of the books desired. Another cause has been the failure of professors to co-operate with the society, and give due notice of books adopted. It would certainly seem now that the society is so firmly established and has received the approval of the president and the entire university, that the support of professors and instructors to this extent might be cheerfully accorded it.
