The Metropolitan Committee for Intercollegiate Cooperation lauds Barnard College for a five week fundraising drive to aid student refugees. The effort is praised as non partisan and humanitarian, with calls to continue support until refugee need ends and democracy is safeguarded.
Barnard introduces a new American studies program for 1939-40 blending history government economics and English. Tutorial advisers and seminars support interdepartmental cooperation and flexible material choices to suit individual interests. The curriculum advances timeliness and intellectual stimulation.
The final college column recalls rituals from Greek Games to Junior Show, notes senior plans after graduation, and reflects on memories from dorm traditions to campus pranks while hinting at coming alumnae status and the end of a speechful era.
A collection of student suggestions for a single date this semester includes skiing on Ip day, a D'Oyly Carte Iolanthe performance and dancing to Tommy Dorsey, a Staten Island ferry ride, a Pike's Peak trip, or a Coney Island visit.
In Fifty-seventh Street a Salvador Dali show mingles ridicule and reverence as critics weigh his Freudian abstractions. The critic applauds Dali’s technical craft and ambition to put mental processes on canvas, noting several works like Portrait of Dr Freud and Walking Female Figure while calling some pieces more joke than substance.
The French film explores marriage and fidelity through a clerk named Papon who bonds with his wife Suzy Vernon. A sharp witness reveals an unhappy home as Papon confronts a faithless wife and a tepid romance amid tense chords and emotional mood.
A critic notes the film shows mental strain and feigned ignorance as a man buys a chocolate factory and keeps his lonely child, rising to success amid headlines and cigars. Bauer’s performance fluctuates, and the plot remains largely implausible though the English subtitles prove adequate for censorship.
Music critic notes Povla Frijsh’s second season recital at Town Hall on March 28 drew a large, enthusiastic crowd. She shines in French songs with La Chevelure Le Secret and La Pintade, while German lieder challenge her dramatic range.
The article lauds Walter Gieseking for a piano recital that showcased his genius across Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Ravel and Whitthorne pieces. It praises his clarity in Bach and Mozart, grandeur in Beethoven, and elegant touch in Ravel, calling him a great sensitive poet of music.
The Busch Quartet performed in Carnegie Hall's Little Hall marking fifth in six recitals. Haydn early work, Beethoven opus 135 with the witty final movement motif, and Mendelssohn Quartet in F major no 1 followed under Adolf Busch. The group delivered a refined and engaging concert to a distinguished audience.
