Co-op Centennial Celebrations: Live and Online
Be it resolved: Co-op experiment is a success
UC's turn-of-the-19th century Board of Trustees gave
founder
a most unringing endorsement to try his co-op experiment. The wording of their consent read: "We hereby grant the right to Dean Schneider to try, for one year, this cooperative idea of education
...[for] the failure of which
, we will not assume responsibility." Schneider quietly delighted in it for the rest of his life. In after years, he publicly preserved the board's painfully reluctant permission on his office wall.
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2005, when the UC Board of Trustees meet on the eve of co-op's centennial year, the board will vote on a new resolution declaring the co-op experiment the success that it is. The experiment has more than proven itself. The board will consider the new resolution during their 8 a.m. meeting in Room 400, Tangeman University Center.
