A major unsolved problem relates to the inclusion of the names of living cooperators under specific titles. One write advices that the titles referring to the living shouls be deleted. All other advisors suggest that the list should be extended to include many more persons. The practice of encyclopedias of recognized worth is to include the names of both living and not living, and the basic problem in both cases is the same, namely, according to what standard is a name selected for inclusion.The standard used in this book for admitting the name of a person, living or not, is: That such a person shall have held a position of nationwide or international importance in the cooperative movement for several years (ten or more) and have received recognition of widespread nature as indicated by various estimates from different published and unpublished sources. The compiler welcomes any suggestions for the improvement of the dictionary in order that all its statements may be made as objective and accurate as possible.
