Published semi weekly during the college year with breaks for vacation and exams. Produced by the Students at Barnard College in the interests of the Undergraduate Association.
An editorial condemns Barnard College library rules as hindering study by limiting daily book checkout and imposing a one week open shelf limit. It argues the restrictions deter off campus researchers and reduce access to diverse sources, shrinking the library’s usefulness for serious work.
A Barnard Bulletin letter defends a previous article on Bird Larson memory. The writer disputes Miss O'Donnell’s misstatements about New World Dances and Larson's method, noting her own role in teaching and continuing Larson's work.
An article recalls the Greek Games history from the 1905 class origins to the 1903 Freshmen win. It notes the festival’s growth, with poetry, archery, and dance joining athletics, and mentions Dr. Smythe’s Silver Bay Club talk and a Barnard French Club tea featuring La Princesse de Broglie with Liszt pieces.
The article argues new library rules force students to leave books for 24 hours causing delays and inequities. It says the prior demand system worked better, while the current method discourages use and tempts unfair tactics to secure books, adding to reading difficulties.
Frances Leber writes to the Bulletin to defend Miss Larson’s work and challenge Miss O'Donnell’s behavior. The letter requests publication in the Forum Column to correct what she calls an unjustified attitude by Miss O'Donnell.
