  • The Great Warden and His College
    CHAPTER Ill The Great Warden and His College Robert Brinckerhoff Fairbairn was Warden of St. Stephen's College for 36 years - from 1862 until 1898, a year before his death at age 81. He was styled the ''Great Warden''. by Thomas Richey, one of his predecessors, and that designation has continued throughout all of the College's history. The present-day college still gains a sense of Fairbairn's appearance and presence from the bronze bust of him which is above the mantel in the Presidents' Room of Kline Commons, and from the oil portrait hanging over the fireplace in the foyer of the President's office. In appearance Fairbairn was of slightly less than middle height, round, ruddy and of a stern visage. This sternness, however, was more that of dignity than of hardness. He was tender hearted and had delicate regard for the feelings and wishes of others. He was as devout as he was just, and abounded with kindness, self~sacrificing generosity, and refinement. 1 He was born in Greenwich Village, New York City, in 1818. His father, a Scotchman, was a modestly circumstanced book publisher and his mother a native of Poughkeepsie. After ordinary schooling and special training in the Mechanics school, he worked for three years in a book and stationery store, and then at the age of 16, decided to prepare himself for the ministry of the Episcopal Church. He started at Bristol College in Pennsylvania, and upon the demise of that institution he went on to Washington College (now Trinity) in Hartford, graduating with a bachelor of arts in 1840 at age 22.

  • Bard College
    ! BARD COLLEGE Founded in 1860, in New York’s Hudson River Valley, Bard College is a liberal arts school that has consistently reinvented itself. Founded as St. Stephens College to prepare men for the seminary, the school became a secular undergraduate division of Columbia University, then all-male, in 1928. Six years later, the College was renamed Bard College, to honor St. Stephens founder, John Bard. In 1944, Bard went co-ed and ended its association with Columbia. Bard also become a haven for scholars who had managed to flee from war-torn European nations during and after World War II. Today, while it is primarily a 2,000 undergraduate college, Bard also operates an Early College (Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington, Massachusetts; four Early College high schools (in Manhattan, Queens, New Orleans, Newark, NJ, Cleveland, OH); two music schools (the Conservatory in New York State and the Longy School in Cambridge, MA) as well as several undergraduate and graduate programs abroad. Bard also operates a degree-granting program for inmates in New York State prisons that became a story on 60 Minutes. Bard’s president, Leon Botstein, a highly-accomplished classical musician, was the youngest college president in the United States when he was appointed in 1975 at the age of 28. Forty years later, he is the longest-serving college president working at the same school. Bard loses just over ten percent of a freshman class each year and has a higher attrition rate than other selective liberal arts colleges. The four-year graduation rate for the class that entered in 2009 was 60 percent, according to College Results Online.
