  • Noel Lateef: in This the Foreign Policy Association's Centennial Year We're Very Fortunate to Have with Us This Evening a Distinguished Leader of Higher Education
    Noel Lateef: In this the Foreign Policy Association's centennial year we're very fortunate to have with us this evening a distinguished leader of higher education. President Leon Botstein will speak to the important topic of elites, higher education and the future. You may have seen in the current issue of the New Yorker a review of a book published by the Foreign Policy Association 50 years ago. A 1968 book tried to predict the world of 2018. The book successfully predicted pocket computers and the jacket cover asked the question, "Will our children in 2018 still be wrestling with racial problems, economic depressions and other Vietnams?" I am pleased that president Botstein's remarks this evening will be included in a new book that we are publishing this year, that will predict the world of 2068. I should note that president Botstein chaired a blue ribbon commission that looked into the relevance of the mission of the Foreign Policy Association 25 years ago. It was underwritten by the Ford foundation, and as I recall the leadership of the FP at the time waited with some trepidation for the conclusion of this important report. We are grateful to president Botstein for concluding that our mission was never more important. Ladies and gentlemen, to formally introduce president Botstein I'm going to turn to an FPA fellow of long standing, who happens to be the dean of international studies at Bard college, and director of the Bard globalization and international studies program, Jim Ketterer. Jim? Jim Ketterer: Good evening. It's a pleasure to see so many Bard alumni, faculty and students here this evening, who come not only from our campus in Annandale, but as Noel mentioned, the Bard globalization international affairs program here in New York city that draws in students, not only from the Bard institutions, but from colleges and universities across the country, and in fact across the world, and many of them are here.

Notes ON THE MUSIC – TON’S KADEN HENDERSON ON ARTHUR HONEGGER’S RUGBY MATT DINE MATT Full Contact Music Honegger’s second tone poem, entitled Rugby, which we will be hearing today, was composed in 1928. Although it bears the name Rugby, the composer himself insisted that this work was not programmatic in a traditional sense. Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety. The very first notes from The Composer the strings hit the audience like a ton of When thinking about the great orches- bricks as the cascading strings sweep us tral tone poems in our repertoire, the into a musical dogpile.

The lessons of Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge, an aging illiterate Kenyan and Mau Mau veteran, are undeniably powerful and his message is clear, ”We have to learn from our past because we must not forget and because we must get better… the power is in the pen.” The other event of the summer that has helped to re-vitalize and focus thinking globally about education is a remarkably fine series of interviews, The Global Search for Education, by C.M. Rubin for Educational News. The interviews with individuals renowned for their international leadership (including some of the Brock Prize nominees and laureates) are being conducted according to Rubin, “with the intention of raising the awareness of policy makers, the media, and the public of the global facts.” The film and the interviews have helped crystallize my thinking about the individual I had nominated in the spring; they have served to re-affirm my choice of Leon Botstein as the next Brock International Laureate.

  • The Levy Institute Generates Effective Public Policy Responses to Economic Problems That Profoundly Affect the Quality of Life in the United States and Abroad
    Biennial Report 2004–2005 The Levy Economics Institute of Bard College was founded in 1986, through the generous support of Bard College Trustee Leon Levy, as a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. It is independent of any political or other affiliation and encourages diversity of opinion in the examination of economic issues. The purpose of all Levy Institute research and activities is to enable scholars and leaders in business, labor, and government to work together on problems of common interest. Levy Institute findings are disseminated—via publications, conferences, workshops, seminars, congressional testimony, and other activities—to an international audience of public officials, private sector executives, academics, and the general public. Through this process of scholarship, analysis, and informed debate, the Levy Institute generates effective public policy responses to economic problems that profoundly affect the quality of life in the United States and abroad. The Levy Institute’s main conference and research facility is Blithewood Manor, on the campus of Bard College, located 90 miles north of New York City.

Enjoy a lovely group lunch at the Terrapin Restaurant, in Rhinebeck, NY, voted “Best Farm-to-Table Restaurant and Best Bistro” of the Hudson Valley. 1:15 pm – Depart for the Bard Music Festival, Fisher Center at Bard College for the performance of Ernest Chausson’s opera King Arthur. Idealism and treachery, honor and betrayal collide in this rich lyrical opera by French romantic composer Ernest Chausson. First premiered in 1903, this opulently scored work lays bare the tragedy of King Arthur’s betrayal at the hands of his queen Guinevere and his trusted knight Lancelot. Ernest Chausson’s musical style for his only opera was heavily influenced by the works of Richard Wagner, particularly Tristan und Isolde and Parsifal. Leon Botstein, the Bard College President and Conductor, explains that Ernest Chausson's opera, King Arthur, is “Very French in its orchestration and rhetoric, but very indebted to Wagner.” Directed by Mary Birnbaum, this production of King Arthur takes us to a world in the midst of upheaval where longstanding codes of honor and loyalty no longer hold sway.
