The Chapel of the Holy Innocents overlooks the Anna Jones Memorial Meditation Garden. The Chapel is part of John Bard's original donation to the College of "about 7 acres, together with the buildings thereon." The original Chapel was built in 1857 with local oak and stone from quarries across the Hudson River. It was rebuilt in 1859 after the original building was destroyed by fire.
Bard Student Services, overseen by the Office of the Dean of Students,
is concerned with the quality of college life. Through these services Bard seeks
to enhance the value of the undergraduate experience by encouraging students to participate actively
in their community and support the development and pursuits of the student body.
The Office of the Dean of Students strives to promote an
atmosphere wherein students can develop an idea of themselves as academics
and individuals. In service to that goal, it works to protect the campus environment
and encourage the students' exploration of intellectual, artistic, and ethical
interests. The dean's office serves as an information service for nonacademic
matters and tries to accommodate individual circumstances to ensure that all
students are successful in their adjustment to college life.
