INSTITUTE FOR AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES 2 bis, rue du Bon-Pasteur Aix-en-Provence, France present Chapman Hall quarters. The Co-op is not in any way controlled by the University, and, in the near future, will not even use University property. It is a private co-operative association owned exclusively by University students. Although the present Co-op was not started until 1920, there was a University Bookstore in exist ence between 1911 and 1916. It was owned by the University, but was dissolved to help pay off debts of other campus organiza tions. Faculty Corporation When the Co-op was incorpor ated in June of 1920, the store’s first manager, M. F. McClain, was able to obtain credit from several book publishers; however, this was not enough to start a store, so several faculty members formed a separate corporation, the University Supply Co. This group sold $100 shares and, by that means, was able to get enough working capital to be gin operations The University Supply Co. was dissolved in 1933. Since then, the Co-op has been a financially independent business. From 1924 until the Depression started, the Co-op paid a small dividend to Its members, each of whom had paid a $1 membership fee. Trade Tokens Taken In 1927 and 1928, aluminum trade tokens were substituted for the cash rebates, but administra tive difficulties were too great to continue the use of tokens.

It operated at a loss, or with little profit, until 1937, when the financial situation improved. The year 1939 saw the Co-op again paying its members a five per cent rebate for their pur chases. The Co-op moved to the ground floor of Chapman Hall in 1939 from its frame building on the corner of 13th and Kincaid. During the years immediately following World War II, the Uni versity’s enrollment increased drastically because of the GI’s going back to college, and the Co-op began to feel crowded in ' its Chapman Hall store. 30 Per Cent Rebate In 1947, several weeks before the deadline for handing in cash ; receipts for rebates, the Co-op’s 1 board of directors announced that !. the store would give a 30 per cent rebate on all purchases.

It took the Co-op two years to get out of debt. Gerald Henson took over as manager of the Co-op in 1948, and Temple Mound' Lecture Topic E. Mott Davis, associate profes sor of anthropology at the Uni versity of Texas, will review the rise and decline of the Temple Mound culture at 8 p m. today in 106 Lawrence Hall.

That was also the start of the Coop’s con sistent 10 per cent dividends, and the membership fee was lowered from $1 to 25 cents. Property Purchased Future expansion plans were formulated by the beard of direc tors and, in 1955, property on the corner of 13th and Kincaid was purchased for $65,000. It was rented for the following ten years, paying for itself. Today, the property is probab ly worth $150,000, according to | a representative of a company which loans money to colleges for construction purposes. Part of the property was used for the construction in 1961 of the Co-op’s bookstore. A board consisting of two fac ulty members and five students governs the Coop; the University Co-op is among the three per cent of the college bookstores in the country which are co-opera tives.
