Barnard College publishes a weekly bulletin during the academic year with a break during the last two weeks of January. The notice indicates the student body as the publisher and specifies the publication cadence.
The 1916 New York issue lists editor-in-chief Mildred Blout and staff, notes subscription rates and post office entries, then opens with a satirical stance on editorials. It mocks talkativeness in lunchrooms and promises conversation not bedlam, as it critiques city dining common areas.
The writer reflects on how luncheon becomes a yelling match in all dining rooms though no one wants to raise her voice. They suggest atmosphere and perceived demands drive the noise, proposing an experiment where everyone acts as if dining in a splendid setting to see if behavior changes.
The piece urges 226 undergraduates to stop sharing Bulletin copies and to buy their own. It argues grafters depress subscriptions, compares to Spectator, and cites a classmate saying the Bulletin holds no interest, suggesting a shift to personal ownership.
To the editor Gertrude R Stetx Barnard 1908 invites Barnard undergraduates to volunteer with Hudson Guild. She describes vocational guidance for neighborhood children and asks interested students to call Chelsea 1937 to arrange an appointment.
The listing shows events across December 5 and 6 including Literature Group Electrical Lab at noon, Botany Club Tea-Room 312 at 4 with a second time 6, Debating Club on prison reform from 4 to 6, Wigs and Cues Theatre dress rehearsal 7 to 11, and December 6 features R. and P. Tea-Theatre 4 to 6, Socialist Club in Room 189 with Professor Overstreet at 4, and Theatre 7 to 100.
A playful ode to Barnard College praising its agriculture program and student gardeners. The piece imagines Barnard women cultivating soil and crops with wit and agrarian flair, referencing classical figures and the idea of urban residents moving toward farming.
At the November 21 meeting, Aline MacMahon was elected chairman of Greek Games with Dorothy Robb Helen Barton Ada Vorhaus and Aline MacMahon as candidates. Edith Auty was chosen chairman of the Entertainment Committee.
