The Barnard Bulletin Vol XXIX dated June 5 1925 lists Editor in Chief Edith Blumber News Editor Hanna Kaun and several reporters Assistants and circulation staff for the student weekly published during the college year excluding vacation and exams.
The piece argues Barnard receives little campus publicity compared to men's colleges. It notes scarce coverage in sports pages for women and highlights a single misnamed feature "Peter Pan at Barnard" in the rotogravure. It laments lack of collegiate honors and asks how Barnard might gain recognition.
The poem recalls entering a college hall filled with memories and echoes. The speaker describes wandering the halls as a student, learning through experiences, laughter, and belief, and finds the walls and pillars now symbolic of memories and past ages. Echoes of seeking, laughter, and tears will linger beyond graduation.
The message exhorts a positive view of life. It calls for up-building and peace, urging readers to be heralds of a new day through intelligent faith guiding actions and outlook.
The traditional Ivy Ceremony took place at 6 o clock on Thursday June 4 with the planting of ivy in front of Students Hall.

The text lists several honorary degree conferrals including Robert Lee Bullard Owen D. Young and Harlan Fiske Stone, detailing their backgrounds from military service to law and public service. It notes Ruth Lustbader's fellowship in Archaeology as context for scholarly honors.
