Published semi weekly throughout the college year by the Students at Barnard College in the interests of the Undergraduate Association.
The editorial urges Barnard College to run a worldwide publicity campaign to raise funds. Dean Gildersleeve cites a million dollar endowment for scholarships, higher salaries for faculty, new classrooms and library improvements, and ongoing abroad visiting professors as top needs.
Hart-Lyman Stebbins, a Yale junior, argues in the Yale Daily News that the modern university is not an educational institution but an advertisement. He cites a tourlike college experience and criticizes tea-table education, urging a course in Browning that teaches genuine appreciation without papers.
In a forum letter Madeleine Gilmore invites readers to a Lost and Found Auction in the Conference Room at 12 o clock Thursday and Friday to raise funds for Barnard Summer School for Women Workers in Industry. The note urges student turnout to boost support for workers education amid a low mood year.
A speech emphasizes that excellence and maintenance of standards serve students and society alike. It argues the duty to pursue improvement extends beyond academics to civic responsibility and public contribution.
Review of the Ziegfeld production Hot Cha describing Lupe Velez and Bert Lahr in a lavish but thin revue set with elaborate sets by Joseph Urban. Praises Powell tap number and cast energy while noting a weak first act and overall vaudeville pedigree.
A cryptic stage critique mocks a play by Edgar Wallace set in an English country house. Suspense lacks payoff and the plot is driven by a familiar trio: wife, husband, and lover amid a nocturnal storm. The cast includes Mrs Selby Clive and the Hon Frank O Ryan in a tale of mortal terror.
The Juilliard School presentation featured Paul Nordoff's Sonata for Piano and Violin as the standout work with a lovely Andante. Harriet Johnson's Fantasia and Ulric Cole's divertimento for two pianos and string orchestra followed, while the review notes unity and depth were lacking in several pieces and comments on German cinema's strive for cheap popularity.
A review notes Trapeze borrows from Mariety with Anna Sten in the apex of a triangle love plot set in a circus milieu. The film includes danger stunts that keep the troupe from dissolving as a conflict unfolds among three lovers.
A review of Hunter College Sing at the Metropolitan on a Friday afternoon finds the sixteenth annual event lacking preparation and variety. It notes flat Sophomores songs, a repetitive mix of tunes, and outsider spectators failing to grasp the tradition, with Juniors taking first place and Seniors second.
