A movement to establish closer relations between the University and the Boston Opera House, whereby students may better enjoy the advantages of the Opera, has been started under the leadership of E. F. Hanfstaengl '09. Mr. Hanfstaengl's idea is to make the connection between Harvard and the Opera one such as exists in Germany, in which university students are enabled to attend the Opera at reduced rates. The value of the Opera in rounding out a man's general education is universally recognized, and such a plan would be advantageous to both parties.

The first active step in the movement will be taken today when a meeting for all who are interested will be held in the Committee Room of the Union at 4.30 o'clock. Final arrangements will be made for a dinner, which will be held in the Union on Thursday, March 21. Mr. Henry Russell of the Boston Opera Company will speak at the dinner as will several of the professors from the department of Music in the University.

The Cosmopolitan Club, the Deutscher Verein and other such organizations are already taking an active interest in this project and it is hoped that with this impetus such an excellent plan will soon materialize.
