Separate But Equal in Barnard College History
A historical examination argues that Barnard College arose from a misstep toward “separate but equal” education. It traces Barnard’s origins in 1879 with Barnard’s diploma parity goals, notes the pushback to coeducation, and predicts broader movement toward full coeducation across major universities, urging Columbia to embrace integrated learning.

Letters urge community action to reform jail procedures
A reader proposes a local civic plan to ensure due process at Morningside precincts by enlisting 122 volunteers to monitor arrests and treatment at the jail. The piece links this to wider student activism and warns of backlash from militant groups, urging citizen participation and safe reforms. The letter also advocates for Paul O'Dwyer in the New York Senate race, urging student volunteers to canvass and support his campaign as a principled alternative to establishment candidates.
