Report of Gifts Report of Gifts July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014 Bard College Report of Gifts 2013–14 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Letter from the President 4 Donors by Giving Societies 29 Alumni/ae Donors by Class Year 39 Foundation, Corporate, and Government Donors 43 Gifts in Honor of 48 Gifts in Memory of 50 Bequests Received 50 John Bard Society Members 51 Bard College: Campus, Students, and Curriculum 71 Bard College: Graduate Education 73 Bard College: International Initiatives in the Liberal Arts 74 Bard College: Education Reform 80 Bard College: The Arts 85 Gifts in Kind 86 Bard College: Boards 88 Office of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs We are delighted to acknowledge our loyal donors who have given for three or more consecutive fiscal years. They are listed with a + symbol. An asterisk denotes a deceased person. John Bard Society members’ names are bolded. Bard College Report of Gifts 2013–14 2 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Alumni/ae, Parents, and Friends: This year’s Report of Gifts is a public acknowledgment of the generosity of all those who made a contribution to Bard in the last fiscal year. I encourage you to look closely at the names here. In this list we see both the history and the future of the College. I am deeply grateful to all. Each and every one of you can be truly proud of what we have built together. I see names that I have known since I first came to Bard 40 years ago: alumni/ae and faculty who were the early leaders of the College, students I taught in class and whose careers I have followed since they graduated. I see Bard parents and grandparents and the members of the governing boards who lead the College today. I see colleagues, friends, and family. All gifts to Bard, of any size, directly affect the lives of students. Last year Bard raised more than $59 million from 3,678 donors, an extraordinary testament to the devotion of our supporters. These funds have allowed us to award more than $40 million in financial aid to deserving students and maintain our commitment to excel- lence in the faculty in Annandale, throughout the country, and across the world. In 2014, Bard’s classroom experience was singled out as one of the best in the country—and while polls and surveys are not to be relied upon, in this case they are right. Bard’s curriculum and educational experience are something to be proud of, as evidenced by an increasing applicant pool. However, Bard and its network of programs—from the arts, to international education, to the Bard High School Early Colleges and the Bard Prison Initiative—cannot be sustained without the support of all the donors listed here. Since there are many worthy and competing causes, we are fortunate to have such loyal and generous donors. We are grateful that everyone here made the choice to support Bard. Some have given consistently for 50 years. Others have made their first gift this year upon graduation. All of us at Bard offer our thanks. Cordially, Leon Botstein Bard College Report of Gifts 2013–14 3 DONORS BY GIVING SOCIETIES Coronam Vitae Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Weiss Richard W.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

    the richard b. fisher center for the performing arts at bard college Sergey Taneyev’s July 26 – August 4, 2013 About The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space, and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater & Performance and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 24th year in August with “Stravinsky and His World.” The 2014 festival will be devoted to Franz Schubert. The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center. We are grateful for their support and welcome all donations.

(2001) "How Hollywood Films Portray Illness," New England Journal of Public Policy: Vol. 17: Iss. 1, Article 11. Available at: http://scholarworks.umb.edu/nejpp/vol17/iss1/11 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by ScholarWorks at UMass Boston. It has been accepted for inclusion in New England Journal of Public Policy by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks at UMass Boston. For more information, please contact [email protected]. How Hollywood Films Portray Illness Robert A. Clark, M.D. Part I: Oncology Art imitates life, we are often told. Occasionally we also observe that life imitates art. Hollywood movies may fulfill the definition of art in both these adages. Movies evoke our fantasies, fears, loves, and hates and therefore reflect our lives. The art of film, however, diverges from real life because of the necessities of good story- telling: dramatization, plot lines, character development, and romanticism. There- fore, films are often imperfect reflections of our lives. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “There are no second acts in life.” Movies have been blamed for creating disturbing or profane cultural images, leading to societal ills such as violence, sexual deviancy, and isolation. Whether art imitates life or the reverse, it may be instructive to study how movies depict medi- cal themes, especially oncology, in order to understand how cancer and medicine are perceived in popular culture.

The 3+2 M.S. program will prepare students to pursue careers in public and private sectors as analysts, researchers, and consultants, and provide them with advanced knowledge, course work, and research experience to succeed as Ph.D. candidates. The Master of Science in Economic Theory and Policy is a two-year degree program designed to meet the needs of economics undergraduates interested in graduate-level research. Course work is devised to equip students with the theoretical knowledge of economics as well as skill in practical research applications using advanced software tools such as STATA, SAS, and Eviews. Students will also be able to attend the various conferences that the Levy Institute hosts as both educational and networking opportunities to meet future employers and/or faculty and researchers from other universities. Bard students interested in the new 3+2 M.S. program should apply in their junior year. Completion of Bard distribution requirements, successful Moderation into a program of study, and approval from their undergraduate adviser is required to qualify.
