Reflections on Barnard Alumnae Years and Changes
Barnard alumnae Barbara Hertz and Jackie Radin recall campus life in the 1940s through the 1950s. War effort influence shaped classes and events such as First Aid and Greek Games while tuition stood at 500 dollars and student apathy followed McCarthy era tensions. The 1958 1959 period saw Barnard’s community outreach grow and the new library break ground, transforming the campus landscape and social norms at Columbia University.
