Abstract

The Barnard Barnacle was a monthly literary journal styled satirically on The New Yorker. The Barnacle became a quarterly magazine in 1926 and restarted volume numbering, which then became The Barnard Quarterly.

History

The Barnard Barnacle was a monthly literary journal styled satirically on The New Yorker. Each issue featured short stories, poetry, and other creative writing on topics ranging from feet (Oct. 1923) to worms (Nov. 1923) to what happened to Beauty and the Beast ten years after the Disney story ended (June 1924). It was “sufficiently undignified to be really friendly,” Undergraduate President Edna Trull wrote in the Oct. 1923 issue.

The Barnacle became a quarterly magazine in 1926 and restarted volume numbering, which then became The Barnard Quarterly. One of the changes that were made was the addition of illustrations in December of 1930. The magazine, like the old Barnacle showcased students’ articles, short stories/fiction, poetry, book reviews, sketches, etc.
