Such a distinctively cooperative dining society as the Foxcroft Club, to which our attention has been called, has an important place in a college in which so many classes of men are represented as there are at Harvard. It has offered a very desirable economy to many students who have found it necessary to reduce the expenses of their education to a minimum, and to whom therefore Memorial Hall has been practically closed. But the methods by which cooperation on so small a scale can be made most effective, must be far different from those which are successfully employed in the running of Memorial. Excellent as they doubtless are for their purpose, their introduction into Memorial, under the wholly different conditions which exist there, would be extremely unadvisable. In protesting against so introducing them, we were without intention to imply anything derogatory to the members of the Foxcroft Club. The distinction between that club and the Harvard Dining Association is so obvious that it seemed unnecessary to emphasize it in condemning, not the methods of the Foxcroft Club, but the extension of those methods to Memorial Hall.
