Barnard College announces a semiregular bulletin published by students for the Undergraduate Association. It operates through the college year with vacations and exams causing interruptions. Subscriptions are 300 dollars annually, or 10 cents per issue.
The list Names Jean Ackermann Grace Barrett Ruth Bumner Clytia Capraro Helen Kandel Elizabeth Koenig Marion Pratt Zenta Sachs Naomi Selly and others mark the associate editorial board for the coming year.
Editorial content in upcoming Bulletin issues through March 29 will be written by candidates for the next year’s Bulletin editor. These editorials will be initiated by the hopefuls.
The Bulletin prints a Barnard College student's letter about the European war. It condemns hysterical techniques that deprecate Germany, rejects Hitlerism, and urges intelligent students to rise above propaganda to seek real peace and understanding. The editor stresses printing all letters addressed to the editor.
A playful notice describes tomorrow night’s dormitory event the Saturnalian Bacchanalian meal with students preparing outfits and bon vivant feasts. It humorously details dieting bobbie pins for coiffure and a dessert song as forty maids unveil forty trays amid coffee with vanishing cream.
Tomorrow night the gour mishes plan a supper dance in the dormitory. They describe the exhausting prep with dancing shoes, pressed gowns, and a nervous blind date, hoping to impress and survive the center of the ballroom crowd.
Readers urge Bulletin to stress engaging presentation over mere timing details and propose more art, pictures, a smaller format, and humor. Feedback calls for more educational news, international coverage, a Letters to the Editor column, fewer signed items, and a five column, easier to read paper.
A poster was removed yesterday morning in a local area, with a note that it was not an advertisement. The message included playful wording about supper rhythms and a casual query about changing the chant.
A provocative column satirizes a shift in American fathers toward dominance, citing cultural fixtures like Life With Father and public opinion. It laments a perceived paternal dictatorship, urging wives and children to unite against a Victorian revival and media-fueled imbalance.
Marcel Pagnol presents The Baker's Wife dedicating the picture to Raimu the greatest actor in the world. The film blends French humor with tragedy as Raimu dominates the story while characters like the priest and schoolmaster provide strong support.
The Durand-Ruel Galleries at 12 E 57th Street showcase twenty one Monet works from 1865 to 1901. Landscapes dominate with varied greens and light, including Les Olivier and Le Parc Monceau. Two 1877 views of Gare Saint Lazare and Bateau Echoué resemble Manet. Exhibits run through March 23.
