Barnard students largely applaud the fall issue of the Quarterly praising its current events articles and human interest piece on Dr. Alsop. Opinions vary on humor, psychology, poetry, and the cover while freshmen give strong praise and editors receive light criticism for makeup and distribution method.
Editors question where the prodigies are as try-outs remain open. They note last issue was mainly staff work and urge nonstaff students to submit poetry stories or essays. Mentions Barnard Hall rooms and Lumbricus Terrestris as items of interest in a light editorial critique.
Barnard students flood calls about Dr Alsops private life and her book My Chinese Days detailing a missionary doctor in Shanghai. The illustrated chapters reveal experiences at a women’s mission hospital and aim to show impressions and adjustments of a physician in present day China.
A campus magazine debut at Fairchild earns mixed praise. The critic notes strong editorial backing, diverse contributions, and creditable stories and poems by nine authors. Highlights include Miss Kane’s Legacy and Latouche’s austere Third Chieftain piece, with some dated or unclear passages.
Edith Kane describes ongoing distribution troubles at Barnard College's Quarterly magazine. The staff tried a new system using Columbia Bookstore as circulation hub, addressed 1000 cards, and faced criticism while 300 copies remain unclaimed. Staff losses weights while coordinating the effort.
