It notes a yearly rate of 1.50 and a mailing price of 1.80, published throughout the college year except the last two weeks of January, and registered as second class matter in 1908 in New York.
New York bulletin notes the College Settlement's Association lectures draw minimal attendance. Only the president, one faculty member, and two others attend despite a 700 student body and a 100-member CA membership. Authors call for demand to match supply of talks on social issues.
A letter proposes moving speakers from afternoon to chapel hours or signing up readers in advance to gauge interest. The note questions practicality of week speakers and noon talks, citing tea time as a key chance to meet speakers. It asks for ideas to improve attendance or else halt the lecture series.
A reflective editorial proposes compulsory weekly chapel to showcase speakers from student groups and improve lectures, arguing current afternoon talks lack attendance and substance. The author jokes about not running the institution while imagining reform through honor and a new chapel.
