Philosophy of happiness and activism in a student letter
A Barnard Bulletin letter argues happiness can come from self denial and purposeful work, while urging restraint from martyrdom or fanatic activism. It includes a Republican student recruitment note and cautions against being forced into politics by social pressure. The piece emphasizes personal satisfaction through meaningful effort.
The Count of Monte Cristo on screen judged slightly underdone
Rivoli reviews The Count of Monte Cristo as lively melodrama with action and intrigue but not enough horror or fiery character. Edmund Dantes’s imprisonment, vengeance plan, and rise as the Count are compelling yet restrained, with a final fadeout that leaves expectations unmet.
