Barnard College weekly bulletin of the undergraduate association announces news and notices for students. Contents include campus events, club updates, deadlines, and student activities for the term.
The piece questions City College's suspension of two students over alleged misrepresentation and disrespectful remarks. It argues such expulsions can turn students into martyrs for free speech, while noting insufficient evidence to judge the president's decision and highlighting tensions between colleges as traditional institutions and student-focused service centers.
The writer argues that colleges must confront social evils and open access to students most in need. They say education should enlighten and empower the unwilling as well as the convinced, or risk being merely decorative and not vital.
The Boston Symphony under Serge Koussevitsky delivered a fresh lively concert at Carnegie Hall. Haydn in G major impressed with its precision and phrasing while Loeffler’s tone poem offered sensuous beauty. Martineau La Bagarre and Honnegger Fedra Prelude sparked mixed reactions but Petrouchka and Carnival pieces closed with energizing rhythm and high hopes for the series.
The Representative Assembly discusses Leo Rothenberg and Alexander Lifschitz suspensions for opinions on military training. Members split on free speech versus trustee authority, voting to table a letter until unbiased information is available. A December 8 Young Voters Rally in Barnard Hall will feature Mrs Harriet Stanton Blatch, Miss Lena Madesin Phillips, and Miss Virginia C Gildersleeve.
The college invites all to a Menorah tea in College Parlor on Monday December 5 at 4 15. Dr Nima H Adlerblum will discuss Mediaeval Jewish Philosophy. Mrs Adlerblum earned a philosophy doctorate from Columbia last June and her book A Study of Gensonides presents a new view of mediaeval Jewish philosophy. The lecture is the second in a series on medieval topics and should interest philosophy students.
A few scholarships for the Spring Session may be vacated. Students needing aid should file applications with the Dean's Secretary before January 6.
A nostalgic Health Week piece urges care of body through diet, sleep, and culture. It features a humorous verse by Harriet Ty about body image and ribbons, emphasizing confidence and healthy habits as essential to life and happiness.
A call for readers to mail or deliver a note to the Jester Office at 416 in Jay Hall before December 20. The fragment indicates an ongoing appeal or response process continuing from page one.
