Barnard College weekly bulletin from the Undergraduate Association outlines student-run publications and campus notices for the college year.
A college reader argues hazing is outdated and useless and proposes a one year moratorium. Helen Robinson '27 urges replacing brutal practices with visible tokens like a green name tag to foster freshman bonding without humiliation. The letter requests drastic action to suspend hazing and Sophomore regulations for at least one year.
A letter to the Bulletin argues hazing is a harmless burlesque, while another urges abolition. Writers critique Mysteries as outdated, advocating fresh identification measures and a college referendum to reform or end the two week event.
The piece critiques overreliance on committees in democratic systems and praises autonomous action. It notes wasteful gathering, favors decisive one person effort, and mentions Ossining and Barnard Undergraduate's Freedom camp as a positive escape from city confines.
The Ossining piece echoes a lyric celebrating autumn with Barnard's shout about being in Ossining as fall arrives, reflecting a local cultural moment and seasonal mood.
October meeting selected Betty Hughes as Chairman with Margaret Fuller as alternate. Glee Club asked to learn college songs and lead singing, Mildred Lyman to coordinate. Council sent thanks to Mrs Van de Water and Miss Weeks for refurnishing the Studies.
Bulletin boards in the main corridor and outside Odd Study at Barnard are to be cleared by Monday October 25. Current signs mix sold and unsold books. unsold posters may be reused after activities. Posters at 1 Milbank should be removed after events. otherwise they will be taken down and left for a day before disappearing.
A letter from Harriet Marot Taylor argues the busiest class in college should not waste time running errands learning songs or reciting Barnara rules by heart. She appeals for common sense over rote learning to settle into college life.
