To the Editors of the Crimson:
As a member of the University, though not of the Co-operative Society itself, I have always felt the necessity of the Society to the University as a means not only of supplying such books as every one requires, but also of generally keeping down Cambridge prices. To attain this end, the service of the Society must be quick, efficient and economical. Such service the present scheme of organization precludes. It is impossible for a perfect system to be developed when its promoters have staring them in the face the possibility that their plans may be reversed by a handful of men elected at a non-representative meeting. Therefore, the thing that is needed is a guarantee of stability, a permanent board of control which can maintain a uniform policy regulated always by public opinion. Such an end, it seems to me, can be best attained under the proposed method of reorganization, by which certain members of the Faculty will, as stock-holders, appoint the Board of Directors. We shall then have not only a permanent board, but one which will include representatives of all departments and will be influenced by the reasonable desires of the University. HUGH BLYTHE 2L.
