The Barnard Bulletin will publish weekly during the college year by the Students of Barnard College, with the exception of the last two weeks in January.
Barnard College notes in a 1917 issue that vacations are a splendid concept yet much of the student body used two weeks off to complete work due after break. The piece questions whether the current vacation system is wise given the post vacation workload and argues vacations should serve rest rather than deadline pressure.
Adele Frangin argues against Miss Liander's proposal in the Bulleting last number that clubs without at least 15 dollar annual dues be barred. She notes small clubs with under thirty members still face expenses and urges tailoring financial systems to conditions rather than forcing a higher dues requirement.
Epital Muriann writes to the editor noting personal ties to both Barnard College and Vassar, challenging Miss Downs’ claim that Vassar outdoes Barnard in courtesy. He argues individual politeness varies within each college and that differences between individuals exceed inter-school contrasts.
A student group argues for pre assigning themes and readings before break to ease exam stress. They claim current vacation is a misnomer and creates a ghastly week of pileups. A shifted timetable would yield a calmer second semester and real vacation after exams.
