Published weekly during the college year with two January absences notes the Barnard College students produce a periodical with scholarly content and student contributions.
The item lists the Editor in Chief Dorette Ferandé and staff roles for 1915 1916 including Lucy Morgenthau business manager Isabel Totten ex officio Helen Jenkins managing editors and assorted department editors and assistants across Dramatic Literature Religious Social Athletic and class news with an October 21 1908 registration note.
The editorial notes Barnard College fosters subgroups like classes and clubs but seeks unity under the Undergraduate Association. It highlights the class of 1918 as the first freshman class to benefit from a joint welcome by all organizations, replacing the previous habit where only religious and philanthropic groups greeted newcomers.
The speaker explains that diverse clubs and organizations symbolize the whole campus and invites new students to join. It emphasizes that despite rivalries from Mysteries to Greek games, Sophomores remain part of the Undergraduate body first.
The Bard College faculty sees resignations by Dr. Harold C. Brown and Miss Esther Lape. Grace Hubbard returns from leave to English, while Rigniggi may join next week. New instructors include Magdeline Carret in Romance languages, Phebe Hoffman in history, Florence de Lowther in zoology, and Unn B. Sait in philosophy. George Haven Putnam returns to teach Greek and Roman theory. Boas offers a Europe-focused anthropology survey relating to the war.
Registration for Barnard College began with a slight rise in the upper classes and a strict freshman admittance policy. The Admissions Committee admitted 187 freshmen, twenty-one fewer than in September 1913, and the European war appears not to affect undergraduate enrollment.
Rhoda Erskine resigns from the Managing Board and Dorette Ferandie elected Editor-in-Chief. Helen Alexander will not return this year, and her vacancy along with other open posts will be filled at the next staff meeting.
Thursday October 1 features Academic Chapel. Friday October 2 offers Mysteries events for attendees seeking campus activities this week.
Freshmen led by an elder sister in cap and gown marched to the campus on Friday afternoon with a band playing. Tables representing various organizations offered lemonade ice cream and information while a Publications table displayed mortarboards bears and bulletins. The crowd packed the scene as freshmen mingled with rival classes and sang, with cheers and playful caution about keeping them grounded.
The Ivy Day events on Tuesday June 2 featured seniors marching down the boardwalk and onto Brooks Hall’s terrace. Eleanor Mayer known as Stubby delivered the ivy planting speech while 1914 sang the Senior song and audiences enjoyed dancing and refreshments later that evening.
