The Barnard Bulletin is issued semi weekly during the college year excluding vacations and exam periods. It serves the Undergraduate Association and is produced by Barnard College students.
An editorial discusses Barnard College’s rules on student ties to outside groups. It argues against total abandonment of affiliations while proposing a blanket approval option for requests backed by at least 50 students, combining Faculty Committee and Student Council consent.
In letters to Dean Gildersleeve, students urge abolishing the rule isolating Barnard groups from outside organizations. The Current Events Club and others cite National Student Federation ties and delegations to Silver Bay as evidence the ban is outdated. Dean Gildersleeve responds with plans to discuss curriculum changes and an upcoming building project seeking undergraduate support.
Dean Gildersleeve is listed among college presidents endorsing Vogue magazine contest for Class of 1936 seniors in accredited colleges. The six quiz series and a fashion thesis determine prizes of Vogue employment in Paris or New York offices. Interested seniors should apply to Bulletin.
A reflective diary style entry recalls renovating a dormitory room with bed posts, lampshades, and scraped floors. The author jokes about youthful mischief, independence, and the joy of making do, noting lessons about ingenuity, shared effort, and money’s value.
A college girl recalls growing tired of a bedroom furnished by her mother and of parental dictates. She describes seizing independence by sawed off bedposts and discarded lampshades, then reflects on untying apron strings and doing her own thinking for personal growth.
Review discusses John Haynes Holh play This Be Treason at Reginald Lawrence Theatre as anti war drama. It contrasts pacifist leadership, public opinion, and a fictional US Japan crisis with calls for peace and critical questions about wartime patriotism.
Edgar Lee Masters extends his focus from Spoon River to nature and evolution, portraying a vast impersonal deity. The major poems explore the spiritual cosmos within each human spirit, with free verse Hymn To The Earth and Hymn To Nature showing his lyrical power, while minor landscapes reveal uneven rhymes and some unoriginal stanza patterns.
