Barnard College students publish a semi weekly issue of the college newspaper for the Undergraduate Association. This December 4 edition is number 17 in volume 36.
The document catalogs the editorial staff and helpers with names and roles including Editor-In-Chief Helen Block and Managing Editors Evelyn Raskin and Gertrude Epstein, plus assistants, copy editors, contributing editors, and office staff across multiple years indicated by archival initials. It presents a roster of personnel across sections such as In the World, College Clips, News Board, About Town, and Office Assistant, naming numerous individuals with year markers.
Editorial argues Norman Thomas charges of poll manipulation are vindicated by the Board of Elections and sent to District Attorney Crain. It mockingly notes St James's San Francisco trip and praises post election accountability in Tammany Hall. Letters from Angeline Bouchard and Helen Mooney defend Student Fellowship funding amid economic distress.
Emilie S. Hutchinson replies to the editor in defense of continued support for the Student Fellowship Fund amid unemployment relief concerns. She argues that charitable education programs face curtailment and urges maintaining exchange of students and modest private contributions without harming relief funding. The piece cites Professor Dewey and calls for economizing paths to preserve education and social projects.
The speaker notes Snany may face difficulty hiring a full Election Board by next November during a presidential election year. The remark is made in a colloquial exchange with Mr. Thomas.
Critics fault the play for lacking a clear point while noting some life in a few scenes. Francine Larrimore is praised but the cast and pacing fall short, with the farcical overacting and a climactic misfire dampening the operetta’s promise.
The New Yorker Theatre presents the opera comique Boccaccio inspired by a life incident of the author. It follows a Florence student’s misadventures as townsmen’s cuckoldry is teased and he falls for Vie nnetta, duke’s ward. Varigas disguises brighten scenes.
The piece praises Wiener and Doucet for two piano jazz flavored performances and critiques their translation of German works into French style. It notes Elizabeth Schumann impresses musically yet shows a limited emotional range and a cautious upper register, lacking a truly strong voice.
The Fourth Annual Religious Symposium begins December 12 under Catholic Jewish and other religious counselors at Earl Hall. Sessions run daily from 4:10 p.m. on December 7 8 and 10 with speakers Dr. David de Sola Pool Rabbi James Gillis and Dr. J W Moldenhaver presenting on The Place of God in Modern Life.
The article highlights Miss Ricci a multigraph operator in the city who organized seeds for Italian girls of the East side. Born to Italian parents she aids homes and ages, focusing on education and continental progress. Barnard College supports her summer project with buildings and staff.
The Manhattan Swim, sponsored by the Physical Department, spans two weeks with seniors notched lowest mileage. Helen Schneider 34 is the only swimmer to complete the full distance. Class 1934 leads with 1540 laps, followed by 1935 with 805 and 1933 with 800. 1932 has 180. Sophomores enter 46 swimmers, while freshmen 43, juniors 34, and seniors 14 participate.
A Barnard College discussion highlights the value of student exchange and the role of the 1933 International Fellowship. The speaker praises undergraduates who graduate ready to learn, adapt to new academic life, and foster genuine fellowship through intelligent selection and character.
