THROUGH THE GATES The walls are standing today, and the gates: I have been through the gates. CHARLOTTE MEW. BARNARD ' S campus may be pocket-size, compared with the spreading lawns and scattered buildings of Vassar or the extended Wellesley grounds surrounded by a scenic lake, but in its com- pactness lies a special and individual appeal for us. Being so compressed, we easily and snugly fit into the exacting pattern of a crowded city. Being so closely knit, no hurried sprints be- tween distant buildings, no mile-dashes are requisites for arriving at class with the last bell. Even the feeblest of us cannot complain of the paltry few steps between Riverside Building, Milbank, and Barnard. Within our four block limit, our buildings are varied and distinc- tive. Milbank is a traditional Graeco-brick, ivy covered University hall. In a more modern trend, Barnard is a new, well-equipped student building. Brooks and Hewitt, the Residence Halls, are small and inti- mate worlds within themselves, with a home-like atmosphere prevail- ing at meals and parties. The Deanery has a charming tradition con- nected with its grace and dignity. Connecting our campus buildings, there is the convenient under- ground passage, the ever-popular Jungle, and the windy block to River- side Building. Riverside Building, overlooking the Hudson and the Drive, is per- haps the most elusive to set down on paper. Once a small country house, it is still a cozy and unusual haven for the voice-recordings and dia- phragm thumpings that float through its halls. (Continued on Page 12)

We know that the psychologists (hardy souls) condemn escap- ism and warn those who flee to it of dreadful fates. But for the Barnard girl, bruised and bat- tered by unyielding wooden chairs and weary of the per- petual struggle with towering flights of marble stairs, Mortar- board presents the embodiment of all her most wistful dreams. Yet one thing has been for- gotten in our groping; Can Arthur survive streamlining? Upper right: Mortarboard ' s plan for Riverside Building to come. Lower left: The building today; a but re- cently converted private dwelling with garage. CLf= S5 RoOf iNTCRlod FR.M (Ml £K Mlw T..,»«.
