The college bids farewell to 190 graduates as they leave student life to take on world duties. Administrators praise their service, recall memorable events, and express pride in enduring ties between undergraduates and alumnae.
The class of 1946 shows broad enthusiasm and unity for a project despite earlier opposition. Delegates faced a tough choice between personal conscience and the will of their constituents, leading to the Council rejecting the petition after consideration.
Graduates of 1944 anticipate extensive wartime service with many entering armed forces and war-related work. Twelve officer candidates join Waves, and several others secure junior chemist, physicist, geologist, and engineering roles with American Cyanamid, duPont, Western Electric, Kodak, Felton, and OSS. Additional seniors pursue war work in USC Travelers Aid, War Labor Board, Signal Corps, and OSS.
Jean Vandervoort recounts a sentimental senior year at Barnard highlighted by Freshman Day recollections, cap and gown nerves, a near miss with points in the major, and wartime style assembly by women in uniform. The piece ends with a nostalgic farewell to Barnard.
The piece invites New Yorkers to beat the heat with city pools beaches ferry trips on the Hudson visits to the Cloisters and Metropolitan Museum of Art summer concerts at Kreisler in the Stadium and Goldman Band in Central Park plus rides atop Fifth Avenue buses. It notes cool refuges like Grant's Tomb sidewalk cafes and a general mood of urban respite.
