Bard College Board of Trustees Collection (1897-1994, Bulk 1897-1974)

 

Finding Aid

 

Abstract:

 

In 1860, with the granting of its charter, St. StephenŐs College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York was born. Founded by John and Margaret Bard, this school for the education of young men intending to enter the Episcopalian ministry has grown and evolved in ways that the Bards could never have imagined. When St. StephenŐs was struggling with financing the school, the board of trustees and president decided to merge with Columbia University in 1928, and changed their name to Bard College in order to reflect their new course of study in 1934.

 

The Bard College Board of Trustees Collection includes papers related to the Board of Trustees, encompassing 1897 through 1994, the bulk covering the years 1897-1974. The collection shows the financial history of the school through the eyes of the trustees, reflects the architectural process of the college, social life, curriculum development and many other aspects of the management of this country college.

 

Terms of Access and Use:

 

The collection is open for research according to the regulations of Bard College.

 

Arrangement:

 

The collection is divided among many binders in roughly chronological order. It is difficult to tell at what point the minutes were collected and bound; in some instances they were bound quite recently. Some binders have the minutes of the trustee meetings bound with supplemental materials, and in other cases the supplemental materials were bound separately or not bound at all; in that case those materials have been collected in roughly chronological order and boxed separately.
