"the Pops": The Boston Pops Orchestra, of which Robinson was a fan. See letter to Renee Ledoux, 2 June 1918, in Selected Letters of Edwin Arlington Robinsons (Macmillan, 1940), where E.A.R. mentions attending a concert. On Monday, May 23, 1932, the Pops concert honored "Harvard Night" (Robinson was a Harvard alumnus). The musical program included the "Cruiser Harvard" March, the Overture to "Oberon" (Weber), seven selections by the Harvard Glee Club (including a favorite of Robinson's the Chorus from "The Mikado" by Gilbert and Sullivan), Holst's "St. Paul's Suite," "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin, Strauss's "Do and Do" Waltz, and Wagner's "Prelude" to Act III of "Lohengrin" (Wagner was another composer Robinson favored).
