Graduate German Club forms at Barnard College
The first meeting of Barnard College’s Graduate German Club occurred on February 19 in the Barnard lunch room. Thirty-one of fifty charter members and faculty members attended, with Professor Braun outlining goals to revive interest in German after undergraduate days and to create a social literary and dramatic group. Officers named include Mrs. Allen W. Porterfield as president, Lucille Bunzl as secretary-treasurer, and Marguerite Schorr as chairman of the program committee. The charter list features numerous Barnard graduates from 1899 to 1919, and the club’s name remains to be settled at the next gathering.
