Under the able administration of its present officers the Cooperative Society has had another remarkably successful year. The growth in the last three years has been very rapid; the figures show that the Society has almost doubled in that time, the amount of business done. To accommodate this growth, changes have been necessary from year to year and last year witnessed a radical change in the arrangement of rooms. Even this however has been insufficient and this summer various alterations and extensions will be made, especially in the book department.

The total receipts for this year up to last Monday were $101,396.27 as against $89,695.21 last year and $67,398.34 year before last. This makes a gain in two years of almost $34,000. The membership this year has been 1492 as against 1298 last year showing a gain of 194. While there has been this increase in business and in the number of members a corresponding increase in dividend has been prevented by unusally large expenses. The amount to be divided among members will probably be about $4,000 as it was last year. The store will close for the summer at 4 p.m. Saturday July 1st and will opens again a week before college open in September.
