...movement for an Opera Association was started by E. F. Hanfstaengl '09 in March, 1912. His idea was to establish closer relations between Harvard and the Boston Opera House on the plan of similar relations between the Opera and the universities in Germany, where the students may see Opera at reduced rates. Warm commendation was immediately received from the Opera directors and from many representative College organizations. A dinner was held April 1, 1912, in the Union, at which the plans were formulated, and the work in- trusted to two committees, one graduate and the other undergraduate...
...when so regarded, the numerous reports of the past year seem to establish one thing and that not very startling. President Lowell once likened a college community to a cross-section of the outside world. Such would seem to be the consensus of opinion of the statisticians although they seldom state it thus.

Another addition was made on Saturday to the already remarkable list of athletic honors that Harvard teams have won this year. By defeating Columbia in a close game, the soccer team finished a brilliant season and established its intercollegiate superiority. Thus far, now, Harvard has led all the colleges in football, cross-country, hockey, and soccer; and as the year approaches an end, it looks as though this College would establish a record unequalled in intercollegiate sport...
