Not restricted to a particular day of the week nor to a particular section of the Opera House, the coupons, coupled with the Guild's telephone reservation service, became the first painless system of obtaining opera tickets for those who could not afford to be season subscribers. In return for the $10 membership premium Mrs. Belmont offered, besides Guild service, a seat to a dress rehearsal, admission to an "at home" party. By the end of the year she was able to turn over $50,000 to the Opera box office. Last week...

Weighted as he is by books and degrees, not to mention years, and redolent of the musty archives of Widener, he generally escapes the prankster proclivity. He, no more than the fun-loving undergraduates, can afford to have his name in the paper in a scandalous fashion. Thus it was with some surprise that the students in History 60a learned yesterday there would be no Friday lecture owing to an appointment of Professor Morison, unwillingly made--to be sure, with the Roxbury Police Court...
