The Barnard Bulletin opens with a free verse welcoming readers to Barnard College. The piece describes impressions of intellect and reassurance to students, noting that sophomores should not scare newcomers and that Barnard recognizes their confidence.
A fragment from campus life shows a freshman asking a girl if she is twenty-one or twenty-two. She replies she is seventeen. The piece notes the girl in college attire and mocks the idea of a young student in a cap and gown. An October 24th reference appears amid promotional requests for student feedback.
A quirky classroom vignette describes students debating thrift stamps and five cent checks at a cafeteria counter. A freshman tone runs through mentions of Y M C A and soda, with a mock handbook style and brief directions for safety and grip on door handling in a dorm setting.
An educational column continues with a letter from MAL describing daily wartime life abroad. The writer notes food shortages, Camembert, scarce sugar, and milk from the Purple Cow, plus fond memories and travel plans as they move on from the arrival to the next stop.
A fragmentary note recalls 5000 YMCA trunks missing in France. The speaker hopes their own baggage will eventually arrive, praying for recovery amid the travel mishap.
