Editorial extols New York City as a hub of art and intellect while noting Barnard College students seldom tap the city’s offerings. It highlights doctoral avenues of drama, music, and fine arts, encourages use of Miss Weeks' office for cut rate concert tickets, and urges students to seize opportunities now.
The notice invites Barnard students to consult the office bulletin board listing opera theatre concert and art gallery offerings. It argues such cultural tickets are as essential to a liberal education as the one hundred twenty points needed for the Bachelor of Arts degree.
Forum letter requests correction of misquotation in the special curriculum survey. The writer objects to the phrase highly entertaining replacing a fuller discussion and asserts it does not reflect the article submitted.
A series of campus reminders advises students to avoid congregating on stairways and landings to keep them clear. A bulletin board at the campus gate and waste paper cans in Barnard Hall promote notices and cleanliness. Elevators should primarily serve faculty and visitors with students using stairs, and cooperation is requested.
Barnard alumnae from early cohorts show diverse science careers. Josephine Pratt, UW bacteriologist and serologist, oversees hospital lab work. Anne Kuttner, ’13, with MD and PhD from Columbia, researches at Rockefeller Institute since 1924. Harriet Wilcox, ’05, served NYC Health as bacteriologist with wartime Paris posting. Evelyn Williams ’27 excelled in chemistry and bacteriology, earning Phi Beta Kappa and a veterinary path near Barnabas Hospital.
An elevated frame will be installed on the theatre stage by Miss Traunstein to store scenery. The moved storage will free space and allow quick removal for use, eliminating stair carrying from the basement.
