This is only one example of several like sentiments we have heard as to the plan suggested. Therefore, we are led to believe that it contains at least the elements of success, in that it has the enthusiastic backing of music-loving graduates and undergraduates. Just how many such there are, or how strong is their influence, we cannot say. However, we should be glad to receive communications on the subject, for we firmly believe that the opera is one of the fields which Harvard should cultivate for the maximum benefit to its students.

This particular wedding trip takes one through a singularly level and uninteresting country. There are a few merry moments--as when a hazy suggestion of genuinely funny plot is seen in the distance, or when an occasional haunting tune is heard afar off.
