Barnard College releases a weekly bulletin for undergraduate students covering college news and student association activities during the academic year.
Editorial reflects on the Mysteries Book started decades ago at Barnard and its evolution as a symbol of campus change. It notes past verse, current student writers, and how weekly Bulletin notices reveal hastily formed committees and club debates interwoven with student organizations.
The opening Sunday concert by Willem Mengelberg and the Philharmonic Society drew a vast audience. The program featured Tchaikowsky’s Pathétique Symphony after a first-ever Phil first for Vi valdi and a Rietti wind and string concerto noted for modern harmonies and light criticism.
Forum letter cites British and American editorials about the Naval Disarmament Conference of 1927. It argues the failure stemmed from experts prioritizing technical details over broader issues and asserts the dispute does not mean growing hatred or imminent war. The piece references H M Swanwick, the Manchester Guardian Weekly, and President Wilson’s era themes.
The piece critiques Barnard College clubs for diffuse student energy with many groups, urging focus on core activities. It notes two-class singing ended, Mysteries persists as a tradition, and praises the Nineteen Thirty class for leading reform to give Barnard rituals a stronger, sharper role.
A critic laments that a portion of a musical work was dragged to an ignominious fate by an incapable maestro. The piece remains appreciated by those who have heard it, despite the harsh reception.
Winthrop Ames presents The Mikado with a lavish production and strong singing actors. Williams as the wandering minister shows intelligence, Wright as Ko Ko excels, Gordon as Poo Bah and Ross as Katisha deliver standout solos. the chorus and staging lift the show despite some orchestra balance issues.
The notice reminds students with unfinished Spring Session 1926-27 work to submit remaining essays and tasks to instructors promptly. By committee rule, all work must be in the instructor’s hands by November 28, otherwise the course grade automatically becomes an F.
