It is gratifying to observe that the Yale students, in recently organizing their Co-operative society, have followed very closely the constitution adopted by our own society. As our own society was the pioneer institution of its kind among the colleges, it is but natural that other colleges, in following our example, should establish their societies on a similar basis. In the lapse of several years, however, one might expect that flaws could be found or improvements suggested in the constitution of the Harvard Co-operative Society. That this does not appear to be the case, at least to any appreciable extent, must be gratifying to those gentleman who labored so earnestly and carefully for the success of Harvard's experiment. The moral of this editorial lies in the thought that, had it not been for the energy displayed by a few at the recent crisis in the life of the Co-operative, no such pleasant reflections as these would come to cheer us when we sit cold and shivering in that delightful resort of Harvard students, Appleton Chapel.
