...Honors tutorial should be voluntary, interdepartmental, and House-oriented as much as possible. A student could join a small group that would combine related fields, such as History, Government and Economics; English and History; or Social Relations and Government. (The smaller fields have in many cases offered their own tutorial for non-Honors and Honors students...
...S.p.A. for a reported $750,000, and expects to gross $3,000,000 annually by offering customers 2,000 items at prices 15% below small stores. One big gainer from the new supermarkets: the Italian government, which levies a 26.85% annual tax on supermarket income v. only 14% charged smaller dealers.

This leads to the proposal for a new type course to replace the far-flung surveys. They would probe smaller areas, but penetrate deeper.

Of the pieces produced, only the Gay work could be called a novelty but its lukewarm popular reception intimates that such experimentation will be curtailed. This is unfortunate because smaller operatic groups ought to be daring where the large-scale expensive enterprises that the Metropolitan must attempt prove impossible. The second work this season will be Offenbach's well-tried operetta Voyage to the Moon, which was prepared by Miss Caldwell for the Boston Arts Festival in the summer of 1956. One can only hope that the spring offering...
