Barnard College - Mortarboard Yearbook (New York, NY)

In the fall of 1892, when Barnard for the hrst time had its full complement of regular classes, the Undergraduate Association was organized. Even before that time, the need of some sort of organization which could act with authority concerning matters affecting the students as a whole, had been felt, and this Association was intended to meet that need. The membership is composed of all undergraduates who belong to the regular class organizations. Special students are excluded because, as they are now situated, the inter- ests of the two bodies of students differ greatly. The Undergraduate Association constitutes at the same time a self-government association, the students being re- stricted practically by no rules except those which they themselves make. The history of the Association, though short, has not been uneventful. The work of the college settlement first attracted the attention of its members, and this year the interest has so grown as to lead to the formation of a Chapter at Barnard College. Impulse has been given to the social life of the college by the teas which the Association holds every month, and which it is hoped will not only encourage social life within the college, but will also bring it more in touch with the outside world. For two years the Association has under- taken the publication of a college paper. These few in- stances are sufficient to indicate how varied are the interests of the Association. The effect of such an organization on the students is worthy of mention. It brings together and affords a com- mon interest to the members of the different classes, thus tending at the same time to destroy any trace of unfriendly feeling between them, very little of which to be sure is to be found at Barnard, and to foster the growth of a rational and desirable college spirit. 29
