The undergraduate curriculum is designed to address central, enduring questions facing succeeding generations of students. Academic disciplines are interconnected through multidisciplinary programs; a balance in the curriculum is sought between general education and individual specialization. Students pursue a rigorous course of study reflecting diverse traditions of scholarship, research, speculation, and artistic expression. They engage philosophies of human existence, theories of human behavior and society, the making of art, and the study of the humanities, science, nature, and history. Bard’s approach to learning focuses on the individual, primarily through small group seminars. These are structured to encourage thoughtful, critical discourse in an inclusive environment. Faculty are active in their fields and stress the connection between the contemplative life of the mind and active engagement outside the classroom. They strive to foster rigorous and free inquiry, intellectual ambition, and creativity. Bard acts at the intersection of education and civil society, extending liberal arts and sciences education to communities in which it has been underdeveloped, inaccessible, or absent. Through its undergraduate college, distinctive graduate programs, commitment to the fine and performing arts, civic and public engagement programs, and network of international dual-degree partnerships, early colleges, and prison education initiatives, Bard offers unique opportunities for students and faculty to study, experience, and realize the principle that higher-education institutions can and should operate in the public interest. 1 HISTORY OF BARD Bard College has always been a place to think, critically and creatively. Bard was founded as St. Stephen’s College in 1860, a time of national crisis. While we have no written records of the founders’ attitude toward the Civil War, a passage from the College’s 1943 catalogue applies also to the institution’s beginnings: “While the immedi- ate demands in education are for the training of men for the war effort, liberal education in America must be preserved as an important value in the civilization for which the War is being fought. Since education, like life itself, is a continuous process of growth and effort, the student has to be trained to comprehend and foster his own growth and direct his own efforts.” This philosophy molded the College during its early years and continues to inform its academic aims. Early Years: St. Stephen’s College was established by John and Margaret Bard in association with leaders of the Episcopal Church in New York City. For its first 60 years, St. Stephen’s offered young men a classical curriculum in preparation for their entrance into the seminary. But even as a theologically oriented institution, St. Stephen’s challenged its students to be active participants in the direction of their intellectual paths over their four years of study. In support of this venture, the Bards donated part of their riverside estate, Annandale, to the College, along with the Chapel of the Holy Innocents, which is still in use. With the appointment in 1919 of Dr. Bernard Iddings Bell as warden, the College began to move toward a broader and more secular mission. Social and natural sciences augmented the clas- sical curriculum, and the student body was recruited from a more diverse population. In 1928, a time of increasing financial uncertainty, St. Stephen’s became an undergraduate school of Columbia University. Over the next decade, under the leadership of Dean Donald G. Tewksbury, Bard further integrated the classical and progressive educational tra ditions, in the process becom- ing the first college in the nation to give full academic status to the study of the creative and per- forming arts. In 1934, the name of the College was changed to Bard in honor of its founders. 1930s–1960s: Beginning in the mid-1930s and throughout World War II and the postwar years, the College was a haven for distinguished writers, artists, intellectuals, and scientists fleeing Europe. Among these émigrés were philosopher Heinrich Bluecher and his wife, the social critic Hannah Arendt; violinist Emil Hauser, founder of the Budapest String Quartet; precisionist painter Stefan Hirsch; labor economist Adolf Sturmthal; and Werner Wolff, a noted psychologist. Bard’s international outlook was reflected in a variety of programs and initiatives, as well as in its faculty. During the war, the College welcomed an elite group of soldiers who were trained in the French and German languages and cultures, and in the 2 History of Bard 3 late 1940s Eleanor Roosevelt was a frequent participant in Bard’s international student conferences. Bard underwent another redefining moment in 1944, when it opened its doors to women. The decision to become coeducational

It is to be doubted whether any parish has, in its present possession, the complete record of its history and activity since its inception. Carelessness and fire seem to be the destroying elements, whereby documents of intrinsic worth, particularly valuable to a compiler of such a work as this, have been lost forever. From the foundation of this parish in 1816 down to the year 1831, no information, other than meagre generalities, is obtain­ able. The vestry minutes and church records were in the pos­ session of the Rev. Edward K. Fowler, and were destroyed when the old Mansion House was burned. In fact no church records back of 1870 are now in existence, lost probably in the same fire. However, the gap has been imperfectly bridged by refer­ ences to family records, old scrap books, clippings, and Quinlan's "History ofSullivan Co~tnty." I am particularly indebted to Major John Waller, whose keen memory at the age of 90 has enabled me to clear away many doubts regarding the past, and to present to the parish this ac­ count of its history.

The festival consists of a symposium providing the historical and artistic context in which these composers lived as well as what to listen for in this music; and four concerts: one chamber, one devoted to music of Charles Mingus, one featuring a mixture of electronic and concert music, and one including large ensembles. The festival features the faculty members and major student ensembles of the Fred Fox School of Music and guest artists and scholars. Despite his output of only slightly more than a dozen compositions, Edgard Varèse is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. His concept of “organized sound” led to experiments in form and texture. He was constantly on the lookout for new sound sources, and was one of the first to extensively explore percussion, electronics, and taped sounds. He was, as Henry Miller called him, “The stratospheric Colossus of Sound.” Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis draws artistic inspiration from a vast and often surprising palette of sources, among them the limitless color spectrum and immense emotional tangle of the orchestra, cantorial music in its beauty and dark intensity, the roiling drama of world events, and the energy and drive of jazz and popular music.

  • Introduction Norman J.W
    Introduction Norman J.W. Goda E The examination of legal proceedings related to Nazi Germany’s war and the Holocaust has expanded signifi cantly in the past two decades. It was not always so. Though the Trial of the Major War Criminals at Nuremberg in 1945–1946 generated signifi cant scholarly literature, most of it, at least in the trial’s immediate aftermath, concerned legal scholars’ judgments of the trial’s effi cacy from a strictly legalistic perspective. Was the four-power trial based on ex post facto law and thus problematic for that reason, or did it provide the best possible due process to the defendants under the circumstances?1 Cold War political wrangl ing over the subsequent Allied trials in the western German occupation zones as well as the sentences that they pronounced generated a discourse that was far more critical of the tri- als than laudatory.2 Historians, meanwhile, used the records assembled at Nuremberg as an entrée into other captured German records as they wrote initial studies of the Third Reich, these focusing mainly on foreign policy and wartime strategy, though also to some degree on the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.3 But they did not historicize the trial, nor any of subsequent trials, as such. Studies that analyzed the postwar proceedings in and of themselves from a historical perspective developed only three de- cades after Nuremberg, and they focused mainly on the origins of the initial, groundbreaking trial.4 Matters changed in the 1990s for a number of reasons. The fi rst was late- and post-Cold War interest among historians of Germany, and of other nations too, in Vergangenheitsbewältigung—the political, social, and intellectual attempt to confront, or to sidestep, the criminal wartime past.

Strips you, strips you of all your beliefs, your religion, takes your dignity away, you become an animal.1 - Anonymous veteran The notion of “moral injury” is neither new nor novel. Although the term only re-entered conversation over the past decade, the wound is intrinsic to all war, as the following accounts demonstrate: Doug Anderson served as a U.S. Marine Corp corpsman in Vietnam. On his first day in country he knew that something was terribly wrong. A squad leader beat an old man for no reason other than being Vietnamese. His fellow Marines no longer cared what the war was about or why they were all fighting and dying. Anderson felt that there was no longer a noble cause or strategy, only survival. His first patrol was the beginning of his education. “An immense darkness opened under me” he said.2 “What I saw that day in these men was a kind of soul damage.”3 Chester Nez was a U.S. Marine Navajo Code Talker in the Second World War. After returning home he tried to return to his past self, but his “memories were not peaceful like those of [his] grandparents, father, siblings, and extended family.” 4 Nez later said, “The dead Japanese wouldn’t let me sleep or function normally.

  • Title: the Tangled Web: the Personal and Public Lies of Albert Speer
    Title: The Tangled Web: The Personal and Public Lies of Albert Speer Hist133B, Winter 2016, Source Exploration, By Samuel Fall: Albert Speer, “On Joining the Nazi Movement in 1931, 1969,” Document 8, from The Nazi State and German Society – Robert Moeller The source selected was Albert Speer, “On Joining the Nazi Movement in 1931.” Speer was born in Mannheim Germany, in 1905, to an upper middle class family (Forsgren, 2012, 8). He died on September 1, 1981 at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. This source is an excerpt taken from Speer’s memoir, Inside the Third Reich, which was published in 1969, after he was released from Spandau prison. The excerpt of Speer’s memoir, included in Moeller’s book, was intended to develop issues surrounding National Socialism such as citizenship, democracy, civil liberties, authoritarianism, and national security, which are all relevant in todays world. Moeller’s book seeks to bring these issues to life by providing easily accessible primary sources that allow college-level students to do the work of real historians by analyzing the original documents. I was not able to determine directly where or if Speer’s original memoir papers from Spandau were being kept. The following searches on Google failed to identify an organization holding his original Spandau papers: “where are albert speer's original papers,” “albert speer spandau original papers.” However, many of Speer’s personal and Spandau papers are archived in the Bundesarchiv (Federal Archives) in Koblenz Germany. The memoir papers are likely among them. There was no full text copy of “Inside the Third Reich” by Albert Speer, available for download at Google Books, but I was able to check the book out of the UCSB’s Davidson Library DD247.S63 A313 1970.

    THE SURVIVOR’S HUNT FOR NAZI FUGITIVES IN BRAZIL: THE CASES OF FRANZ STANGL AND GUSTAV WAGNER IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE by Kyle Leland McLain A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2016 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Heather Perry ______________________________ Dr. Jürgen Buchenau ______________________________ Dr. John Cox ii ©2016 Kyle Leland McLain ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT KYLE LELAND MCLAIN. The survivor’s hunt for Nazi fugitives in Brazil: the cases of Franz Stangl and Gustav Wagner in the context of international justice (Under the direction of DR. HEATHER PERRY) On April 23, 1978, Brazilian authorities arrested Gustav Wagner, a former Nazi internationally wanted for his crimes committed during the Holocaust. Despite a confirming witness and petitions from West Germany, Israel, Poland and Austria, the Brazilian Supreme Court blocked Wagner’s extradition and released him in 1979. Earlier in 1967, Brazil extradited Wagner’s former commanding officer, Franz Stangl, who stood trial in West Germany, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. These two particular cases present a paradox in the international hunt to bring Nazi war criminals to justice. They both had almost identical experiences during the war and their escape, yet opposite outcomes once arrested. Trials against war criminals, particularly in West Germany, yielded some successes, but many resulted in acquittals or light sentences. Some Jewish survivors sought extrajudicial means to see that Holocaust perpetrators received their due justice. Some resorted to violence, such as vigilante justice carried out by “Jewish vengeance squads.” In other cases, private survivor and Jewish organizations collaborated to acquire information, lobby diplomatic representatives and draw public attention to the fact that many Nazi war criminals were still at large.
