[For the entire collection see Zbl 0732.00006.] This paper has the form of a theme and variations. The theme is the elegant result of \textit{R. Börger} [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 46, 35-47 (1987; Zbl 0625.18001)] characterizing the Stone-Čech compactification functor \(\beta\) (on discrete spaces) as the terminal object in the category of those endofunctors of Set which preserve finite coproducts. (From this it follows trivially that \(\beta\) has a unique monad structure; the category of algebras for this monad is well-known to be isomorphic to the category of compact Hausdorff spaces.) Among the variations treated here are conditions on a coproduct-preserving endofunctor \(T\) for the unique natural transformation \(T\to \beta\) to be (pointwise) injective or surjective.
