A college theater review dismisses the symbolic drama and comedies as unsuitable for the audience. It notes the crowd’s lack of humor and fatigue with the ambitious program from If I Were King to And Pippa Dances, urging a slower path to ideals.
The author supports a faculty praised experiment to organize student opinion on courses. They argue advisers’ work relies on broader input than one or two voices and note past public opinion gathering was imperfect. A plan outlined by Miss Thomas is cited for broader class involvement.
A College Bulletin letter discusses forming a three member student panel to compile opinions and suggestions from undergraduates for advisers. Another note praises The Barnard Bear and its role in fostering discussion, while a theater review commends the cast and criticizes stage-laughter and overacting.
Critics praise the performance and the cast while noting translations and staging affect Hauptmann’s play. The coach and cast receive commendation for reverent handling, lyrical tone, and symbolic depth though some deem the work overly wordy for amateur production.
A professor comments on flappers and vampires in reply to a prior note. He puns on sophistications and asks professors to read the Beatitudes. The fragment references a theater piece And Pippa Dances and a student writing a miracle play with a chocolate pie longing.
