The Barnard Bulletin is issued semi weekly during the college year by Barnard College students for the Undergraduate Association. It serves as a campus information and student message vehicle.
Editorial urges students to use the Christmas break for rest and recreation not cram study. It argues two weeks should renew energy and that excessive scholastic pressure defeats the vacation’s purpose. The piece also notes complaints about the existing eligibility system in operation.
A student letter argues eligibility in colleges hinges on a point-based grade system. It questions the arbitrary use of A B C grades for admission and proposes a more just plan that accounts for exceptional cases and supports students rather than punishing them.
A reader urges better air in Barnard College Library noting the atmosphere smells of decayed books and withered minds. The letter questions the sufficiency of the few high windows and asks for a ventilation method or advice for sufficiency as students strive for better air and health.
A Dartmouth letter chronicled a student leaving for a solitary life in the White Mountains, echoing Thoreau's ideal of living freely. Separately, Antioch reports a link between sleep duration and academic performance, with peak efficiency at seven hours per night and grade averages around 2.5.
The library maintains a student committee with the Undergraduate Association president, Honor Board chair, and class vice-presidents. It meets the librarian to discuss library matters and approve changes and communications. Members for this year include Marion Churchill, Jean Macalister, Ruth Hoyt, Katherine Brehme, and Elizabeth Baugnan. Freshmen member pending.
