It cites Goethe and Whitman, praises the St Paul’s Chapel interior, and urges attention to campus beauty as part of student life. The writer jokes about three wishes for Barnard and the Bulletin.

Barnard College Appeals for Endowment and Dormitory
Barnard College seeks one million dollars to fund new buildings and facilities for 800 students. The appeal urges New York City and national supporters to expand endowment, add dormitories, a gym, auditorium, laboratories, reading and lunch rooms, and a new study environment to educate women of diverse backgrounds. It highlights alumni service and asks citizens to unite for this campaign.
