A reader argues that Barnard College should balance manners with intellectual freedom. The letter defends refinement without sacrificing independent thought and criticizes finishing school values as unnecessary for serious inquiry. It urges preserving common sense, observation, and self control to maintain harmony.
A fragmentary diary style entry mentions window wedges for Room 139, a possible funder, and a light critique of fanatic clubs. It also notes a student feline club at Barnard seeking a name for a black cat and casual chatter about Miss Meyer letters and Sunday cafeteria fashion for an informal history quiz.
Four expeditions to Australia tested Einstein's theory during a solar eclipse. Data from photographs require precise computations and may align with 1919 results, bolstering the theory. Future US eclipse offers access to funds and instruments for further investigation.
A review discusses The World We Live In an Insect satire by the Capek brothers. It praises the third act's ant society as powerful while critiquing the first act as unpleasant and the second act for its exhaustive depictions of insect vices.
