Publication notes Barnard College students publish a semiweekly bulletin during the college year excluding vacations and examination periods, issued in the interests of the Undergraduate Association.
An extensive roster lists editorial, reporting, and support staff for a Helena campus publication. Names include Editor-In-Chief Helena Block and Managing Editors Miriam Rosenthal and Evelyn Raskin, with a wide array of assistants, copy editors, and business staff across the 1930s.
The editorial speaks to the Class of 1935 about college as a place for broadening intellect and shaping character. It emphasizes independent thinking, personal liberty, and the value of learned insight over mere advice, asserting no other place matches college’s unique environment.
The Class of 1935 is formally welcomed at Harvard College with a Saturday luncheon in Hewitt Hall followed by a Freshman Day program. Faculty speakers include Acting Dean Mullins Professor Gregory Dr Alsop Chaplain Knox and Miss Weeks. The day features a Greek Games Exhibition tea on the North Terrace and a campus tour.
The writing mocks loin cloth irony while praising the cast of After Tomorrow. Donald Meek and Ross Alexander earn notice as father and suitor in a melodrama about love delayed by money. The piece finds the play lively yet mediocre overall.
The Guardsman follows a actor husband who courtly pretends as a scarlet robed Guardsman to win his wife. His ruse exposes his vanity while the wife proves her own acting wiles. Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt deliver theatrical품 diminution and comic excess.
President Butler argues that democracy breeds capable rulers less often than monarchies and laments the failure to elevate excellence in politics. He contrasts political access with success in arts and sciences, asking why midgets so often sit in seats of the mighty. Dr Shepherd follows with a definition of historians’ roles and duties.
The author critiques modern life’s depression as a symptom of economic strain. He notes efforts to employ the unemployed and costly charity, then rejects endless lament. The piece mocks thrift, urging action like resisting overproduction and purchasing a symbolic red hat to feel better.
