...practical form in which the linking together of Harvard and the Boston Opera should materialize is of course a matter of detail that would have to be worked out by a committee of prominent graduates, members of the Faculty, and undergraduates. It would seem as though the result might be worked out along the lines of a Harvard fund, the income of which should go to the support of the Opera, together with a musical association within the University which men might join at a comparatively trifling cost which would give them the privilege of attending the Opera on certain...
...Though since the days of the "Merry Widow" the imported musical comedy has ceased to be a novelty, no composer has been able to surpass Lehar's first success. The show now at the Tremont is distinguished by the same graceful adaptations of Hungarian folksongs, and is presented by a east rarely equalled for appearance and talent. As the story goes, Zorika, a nobleman's daughter betrothed to a man of her own class, has sudden hankering toward a return to nature, so that she agrees to elope with Joszi, a Gypsy violinist.

...alcoholic interior decoration, and a misguided sense of the humorous. With this equipment, which is within the reach of everybody, one may practice almost anywhere on the quieter streets off Massachusetts avenue between the hours of one and three A. M. Find a window, preferably a cellar-window, though one leading to an acquaintance's room is a real delicacy; and slipping up to it unobserved, give it an unexpected but earnest kick. If the window yields, you have scored a point, and you may flee, shrieking with laughter to sidewalks new. The present University glass-kicking team has seven...
