Co-operative societies bring forth the best capacities, the best influences of the individual for the benefit of the whole, while the good influences of the many aid the individual.

Cooperative organizations were central to the founders' vision for Stanford University, and have existed on the campus since it opened its doors in 1891.
Today, the Stanford Cooperatives uphold the University's founding vision, organizing and instigating cooperative approaches to learning and living.
