From 1910–1912, Gleason studied civil engineering at the Thropp Polytechnic Institute (now the California Institute of Technology) but ultimately his love for music propelled him to pursue a career as an organist. He began studying organ with Edwin H. Lemare and also worked as a church organist. In 1917, he moved to Boston to assume the directorship of the Music School Settlement; there, he continued his organ studies with Lynnwood Farnam.

    BARD COLLEGE ONE HUNDRED SIXTIETH COMMENCEMENT Celebrated on August 22, 2020 2:30 p.m. ORDER OF EXERCISES I. PROCESSIONAL TO¯ N Brass Quintet II. INVOCATION The Reverend Mary Grace Williams Bard College Chaplain III. OPENING REMARKS James C. Chambers ’81 Chair, Board of Trustees, Bard College IV. COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS David Byrne V. THE BARD COLLEGE AWARDS The Bard Medal Barbara S. Grossman ’73 Barbara Grossman, with her keen mind and quick wit, left a lasting impression on her teachers and fellow students during her undergraduate years at Bard. The awards she received remain testaments to her exceptional achievements: the John Bard Scholarship, Wilton Moore Lockwood Prize for creative writing, and William J. Lockwood Prize for contributions to the general welfare of the College. After Bard, Grossman decided to focus on writing and attended the celebrated Iowa Writers’ Workshop at the University of Iowa, where she met her future husband, Michael Gross. Two years later, master of fine arts in hand, she found a job as an editorial assistant at Alfred A. Knopf in New York. She moved up through the ranks in a difficult profession, that of being an editor and a publisher. Although often maligned by authors and readers, both roles have been vital to the development of literature and the dissemination of knowledge in our society. From Knopf she moved on to Harper and Row, Simon and Schuster, Crown, then Charles Scribner’s Sons. At the summit of her profession, she was named publisher at Viking Penguin—a company, she said, with “an incredibly rich, wide, deep list” and an “enormous inventory.” Her directness and sincerity must have been bracing to the authors she welcomed—ranging from Jacquelyn Mitchard, whose best-selling novel The Deep End of the Ocean was the first-ever pick for the Oprah Winfrey book club, to Alan Wolfe, who penned One Nation, After All, an insightful study into how Americans define “middle class” and their place in it.

    first authoritative book in English THEon Anton Bruckner, this full-length bi- ography will .be welcomed by the ever- increasing friends of the Austrian composer, who is granted today a place in the musical hierarchy which began with Haydn and ended with Brahms. Needless to say this work is a labor of love. From the beginning of his career as a conductor and teacher in Germany and Austria, Werner Wolff has steadily endeavored to create a wider public for Anton Bruckner. As a child he was fortunate enough to meet Bruckner in person at his parents' home, and he was deeply impressed. Bruckner's appearance was unforgettable. He had kept his country ways and habitually wore clothing made in his home village. In fact, he had all the earmarks of a naive stranger lost in a great metropolis. But he was more than a peculiar sight; he was a lonely man. However, in the solitude in which he lived in Vienna, his music grew to sublime heights. Slowly his genius became apparent, and his work gained fhe recognition it deserves. jfBjruckner's idol was Richard Wagner, and %ause ^ his adulation of the older composer * was made to suffer by the partisans of 3rahms, who declared him a mere Wagner fol- lower. After the First World War, however, his works, so thoroughly original, won him world acclaim. Bruckner was a devout Catholic, and, faithful to his religion, he remained celibate although strongly attracted to women. His life abounded with innocent little romantic episodes. And his peculiarities furnished innumerable charming anecdotes. ... A rich, intimate biography by a man whose knowledge and love of the com- poser's work, equips him ideally for the task of bringing Bruckner, the man, to the American people.* m 4 THE AUTHOR Dr.

Oberleithner was a conductor and composer who studied at the University of Vienna. He acted as « Hof-Kapellmeister » in Teplitz, in 1895 - advancing to the same position in Düsseldorf, in 1896 ; but, in later years, he lived mostly in Vienna. He did write Symphonies and Lieder, but devoted himself mostly to composing Thursday, 21 May 1891 : Letter from Anton Bruckner (Vienna) to Doctor Richard Sternfeld, President of the Berlin Philharmonic Choir.

  • Bard, Independent and Progressive Decided in April to "Go Coeducational" That Fall, Was Able to Get Any Women Students at All
    BARD. INDEPENDENT AND PROGRESSIVE governance and educational policy was lodged in student and community government. The advent of coeducation necessitated the establishment of some sort of dormitory standards and controls. This issue was to torment (and sometimes almost paralyze) the Bard campus for the next twenty years. CHAPTER VII Another factor affecting the life of the College from its very first coeduca­ tional days, was the quality of the women students. Looking back from twenty or thirty yeBr<;; later .. people- have wondered how a tiny men's college that Bard, Independent and Progressive decided in April to "go coeducational" that fall, was able to get any women students at all. And one is the more surprised to find that these relatively late enrollees included a high proportion of the most outstanding students in the College's modern history. How were these students found at all, and how On July 1, 1944, Bard became independent of Columbia University, and in were they such good students? The answer seems to be twofold: the September 1944 it admitted its first class of women students.
