Barnard College pushes the Student Fellowship Drive as a contribution to international scholarship. The piece urges students to defend democracy, noting Europe’s crisis and urging action over rhetoric, citing a Washington pilgrimage by 3000 youths.
A narrator debates Shakespeare with a brother who compares the bard to Freud Stein and the Faerie Queene. The exchange covers origins of characters, Stoic authors, and the Bible, ending with the brother leaving for a Long Island dinner date.
A fashion note records a strolling remark as two well dressed women pass by. One says she avoids hats this season, suggesting the trend looks like Christmas trees, signaling a lighthearted take on local style.
Readers discuss Bulletin query ideas spanning college life topics such as courses murals open rooms and Saturday gym hours. They urge humorous casual prompts and questions on controversial issues to enliven coverage and broaden audience engagement.
Informal interview with Mare Blitzsten outlines his training from the Curtis Institute to Schoenberg and Boulanger, his varied stage works, and his approach to The Cradle Will Rock. He recalls the 1937 Broadway opening ban and the improvisational staging that followed, noting the cast's casual, impromptu performance atmosphere.
The piece discusses how the public shifted from seeking entertainment to engaging with social problems in theatre from 1900 to 1915. It credits Blitzstein and Odets for using the sideswipe technique—indirectly presenting ideas with humor to provoke thought without direct preaching. The goal is consistent audience concentration.
Blitzstein argues every art work conveys conviction and acts as propaganda within society. He links democracy and anti fascist aims to the artist role, critiques capitalist strain on American music, and discusses Schoenberg and twelve tone concepts before closing with song renditions.
