Letters to the Editors on Barnard College Bowl and housing notes
A correspondence describes Barnard College Bowl with praise for the New York team and sharper critique of a critic. The writer defends Barnard’s players, noting their intelligence and sportsmanship while disputing the reviewer Stephen Daedalus. A separate housing piece discusses 620 dorm apartments, rents, amenities, and a new suite design to foster closer roommate relations as part of a December housing survey.

Interdisciplinary Education At Barnard College
The text argues for interdepartmental majors and interdisciplinary courses to reflect a connected modern world. It notes Barnard’s implementation as a flexible model, criticizes a four course system for narrowing breadth, and calls for broader, integrative curricula that balance history sociology science art philosophy and region with expanded course options.
