Caroline D Hall describes a Greek themed ceremony where Sophomores and Freshmen appear in costumes and sing of future feats. Mystic symbols open the event, wreaths crown winners, and a blue and white banner NIKH honors the victors as refreshments follow. The piece notes 1907 class tradition strengthens underclass harmony.
The Superintendent of Buildings notes overcrowding in the Lunch Room. Mentioned at the Undergraduate meeting on the 16th, the issue needs emphasis. Until the new remedy is in place, students should not linger after lunch, and those with early lecture hours are urged to take lunch at 12 o'clock.
The February 2 edition of The Bulletin was omitted due to a fire at the printer during the previous week. This disruption affected subscribers and the publishing schedule.
The Class of 1905 held a Greek Games ceremony praised as simple and pretty. In 1903 sophomores challenged freshmen to contests of strength and mind, including wrestling archery jumping and a tug of war with epic imitations.
A note states the publication prints all signed communications but disclaims responsibility for opinions expressed.
The piece notes the second Literary Supplement shifts from alumni dominance to a mix of Seniors and Juniors with two alumni articles. It praises the alumni pieces for moral purpose while joking about prior pretensions and comments on the Dust of Controversy and Homecoming of Mary Jane as lively but pointed. It contests Mrs. George Converse’s harsher critique and argues for a balanced student perspective.
Dorothy Brewster reviews the second Supplement noting better variety and liveliness. She highlights Mary Jane’s practical view for graduates, the violet poem, and the story With Malicious Intent as well put and slightly sad. Prickles on an Early Rose is disjointed but amusing. the critical division lacks broad access.
The Barnard Union Debating Section meets Monday February 27 at 3 30 P M to debate whether Barnard advantages compensate for the loss of college life in a country dormitory setting. All are welcome to attend regardless of Union membership.

With vacancies in the Der Herr Senator cast the Play Committee will present two short plays instead of the longer one already chosen. Decision on the final selection has not yet been made.
