Every one who is connected with the college is interested in the maintenance of the Co-operative Society, and every one would feel it to be a decided calamity if the society were to be discontinued. There is no imminent danger that this calamity will take place. The society closed the last fiscal year in excellent financial condition, as was shown in the statement published by us in yesterday's issue; it is doing good work in effecting savings to members, and its usefulness is so generally felt that it would not be permitted in any event to expire. The number of members needed to keep up the society is therefore pretty sure to join sooner or later. But many who mean to join have delayed in doing so through mere negligence or carelessness or forgetfulness. We hope that all former members will promptly renew their membership, in order that the number may be brought immediately to the working point. The men of the lower classes, who have several years of college life and of college expenses before them, have a particularly strong interest in the continued success of the society, and should renew their connection with it as promptly as they can. A great many men will be at the office of the society this morning in order to get tickets for the athletic meeting, and will then have a convenient opportunity of becoming members. We urge them to do so.
