Intermediate-resolution spectrophotometry (10 Å) obtained for 20 M33 clusters was compared with similar data for M31, LMC, and SMC clusters. The existence of clusters with a range of properties (age, metallicity, integrated spectral types) has been verified. The M33 clusters span a range of ages from 107 to 1010 yr. The range of metallicities (-2.0 < [Fe/H] < 0.0) is roughly correlated with the age ranking derived from the integrated spectral types. The reddest clusters exhibit properties similar to Galactic globular clusters; none of the clusters appear to be as metal-poor as M15 or as metal-rich as the strong-lined clusters found in M31.
