Preparatory to such an occasion it would be very simple to get a man familiar with the opera in question to give a short talk with selections of the music. This would enable the men to understand and appreciate the pierce far more than if they went to it with no previous familiarity. If several organizations undertook such a plan, it might be possible that a Harvard delegation should be at the Opera House once a week or more often.

But why the breaking of mental training is any the less contemptible, we fail to understand. Perhaps the weight of moral responsibility is less imminent in the latter case, but the fact that probation permanently deprives the team of services which should be rendered, as well as failure to uphold one half of the academic contract, should more than outweigh any other argument in favor...
