The Barnard Bulletin is issued weekly during the college year by Barnard College students for the Undergraduate Association. This is volume NAVI number 22 dated March 23, 1928.
The piece argues that rigid attendance rules punish motivated students while preserving ineffective ones. It defends some cuts to fill otherwise empty rooms, contrasting medieval and modern university systems and urging a balance between attendance value and course content. It hints at arbitrary limits as a dam against unfit students and professors.
Forum letter critiques Miss Zarniko's Bulletin piece on dormitory life versus the German system. It argues American student freedom stems from open cross gender and intellectual exchange, citing Barnard as nonsectarian and emphasizing personal autonomy, moral questions, and comparative youth culture across Germany and America.
A professor argues that rapid dam breaks would cause confusion, but supports unlimited senior cuts as a step in the right direction. The comment frames a policy discussion on gradual change versus rapid reform and its impact on administration.
The Bulletin presents its own stance and Miss Zarniko's opinion on university social life. It argues the article seeks light on our institutions rather than criticism and invites critical consideration of whether the student body's vitality and relations between men and women reflect conformity or genuine enjoyment.
The piece describes Zoe Atkins writing The Furies while beads of soap glow in a pot. It traces plot beats from a dinner party divorce to a murder reveal and a conflicted third act, noting the play’s philosophical mask and the author’s emotional stake. The review ends with a tease of continuation on page 3.
