...Harvard Opera Association is to be run this season along the same lines as last, when it proved so successful in giving an opportunity to hear the best opera at reasonable prices. The chairman for this season, who was appointed last year, has not returned to College, and a confusion and loss of records and accounts has resulted, which will cause a delay of about a week.

The arrangement remains practically the same with the addition, however of permanent seats in the first balcony where last season seats could be secured only at intervals. As membership in the Association must be renewed annually blue-books will be distributed later this spring in which, by signing their names and by paying a 50 cent fee, students become entitled to the privileges...
