Excerpt from The Ohio Journal of Dental Science, 1887, Vol. 7 The measure referred to seems a little complex, but is very simple when understood. The educational interests of the col lege were put under the care and control of this, known as the ohio dental college association, and each member had one vote. These individual votes were not cast as the votes of stock holders; for the man with but one share, or no share at all, if only a member, had the same power as the one owning a dozen shares. The charter provided that in the simple control of the property, as such, only stockholders had a right to vote, and thev were entitled to a vote for each share of stock: But, to become a member of the College Association, a man had to be elected to membership by a majority vote of the mem bers acting, the incorporators' being the original members. Then it'was provided that an alumnus, by paying annually the interest on a share of stock was eligible to membership, and if so elected he had an equal vote as to the control of the educational matters of the college. Thus it was made easy to prevent the perversion of the institution by designing men buying up the stock, for such speculators would not be elected to membership in the associa tion, and consequently have no voice in selecting a faculty, or in prescribing a curriculum of study. The stockholders had power over the property, to buy, sell, build, etc. While as stockholders simply they had no other power. If elected to membership in the association, as they were eligible, they had power over the educational interests, having each a single vote, regardless of the stock they owned.
