Some days ago it was suggested in your columns that Harvard ought to establish closer relations with the Boston Opera. From communications which have appeared in the BULLETIN it would seem that the idea has found favor with the graduates. The idea is so excellent that I cannot resist congratulating the CRIMSON on its conception, and hoping that some active steps will be taken to carry...
...describes the mass of American tourists in Europe as passing through the country with "an open purse but a closed mind. This careless, haughty, condescending, unfair behavior toward European nations, ultimately the residue of a patriotic view that already belongs to the past" he ascribes partly to the idea with which the nation has grown up--namely, "that it is an English nation, and the immigrants who come from other countries are useful fellow-workers and desirable guests, but no ties of kinship connect the countries with the American nation."

This latter is evidently the case with "The Man from Cook's." But though the piece does fall rather weakly into the position of a showcase for gems of song, its framework is given as high a polish as it can stand in the elaborate production of Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger, and it is refreshingly sweet and clean after...
