...movement to establish closer relations between the University and the Boston Opera House, whereby students may better enjoy the advantages of the Opera, has been started under the leadership of E.

There are relations between the two countries and the relations are bound to become closer, and the only way to make them friendly is to have some basis for a mutual understanding.
