The Barnard Bulletin is published semi weekly by Barnard College students for the Undergraduate Association. It lists editors and staff, with a 3 dollar yearly subscription and 10 cent single copies. Names of contributors and staff members appear in the notice.
The bulletin urges Barnard College students to study the atomic energy issue before forming conclusions. It calls for informed letters and petitions to leaders, arguing student voices can influence policy and set a precedent for how future scientific discoveries are handled.
Betty Smith argues the atomic bomb cannot be kept secret and urges shared control under the United Nations. She notes that all advanced nations have access to the knowledge and resources to build bombs, and warns secrecy would fuel an inevitable global arms race and another world war.
Citizens confront the atomic threat urging constructive use over destruction. The May-Johnson bill is criticized for secrecy and monopoly risks, while the path forward lies in strengthening international bodies like the United Nations and moving toward world governance to curb militarization. The piece emphasizes global cooperation over national sovereignty to ensure a safer tomorrow.
The piece notes the term atomic bomb dominates media from newspapers and magazines to radio and cinema. It cites columns, comics like Smilin Jack and Little Orphan Annie, Meitner’s story in Life, wartime plays, and films such as First Man Into Tokyo and The House on 92nd Street, all signaling the public preoccupation with atomic energy and its future.
The bulletin expresses gratitude to contributors for their interest in the atomic energy discussion and invites letters reacting from the college. It notes some copy arrived after the deadline and will be published in a future issue.
