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 and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” 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.

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.

  • Terra Firma Terra Firma
    Summer 2008 Terra Firma Summer 2008 Department of Earth Science & Geography Vassar College Greetings from Earth Science & Geography at Vassar! In this issue of Terra Firma, our biennial newsletter, you will read about the people and events associated with our department during the last two years. As in the past, we continue to offer distinctive disciplinary perspectives on the world’s geo-physical structures, spatial systems, and human environments. We welcome you to visit us whenTerra you are next on campus! Firma Some of you may wonder about the department’s new name. Although we still teach geology, we have rechristened the program “Earth Science” to keep pace with evolving areas of inquiry in earth systems. As you can see in our A. Scott Warthin Museum of Geology and Natural History, the department cherishes our traditions while we embrace contemporary approaches to science. Of course, we also offer degrees in Geography, Geography-Anthropology, and Earth Science and Society. In fact, ours remains Vassar’s only department to span two divisions—the natural sciences and the social sciences. This cross-fertilization promotes a collaborative, inquiry-centered approach to teaching and learning about the many challenges facing the planet. More than fifty majors and correlate sequences now focus their efforts in our department, while some 500 students enroll in our courses annually. Our many alumnae/i, who have gone on to contribute so much in various walks of life, also fill us with pride. Recently, we particularly benefited from the creation of the Mary Laflin Rockwell Fund for field research in Earth Science, Geology, and Geography—thanks to the generosity of Joan Rockwell ’72 and Ellen Rockwell Galland '67.

  • A Short History of Poughkeepsie's Upper
    A Short History of Poughkeepsie’s Upper Landing Written by Michael Diaz Chapter 1: Native Americans, the Dutch, and the English When Henry Hudson and his crew first sailed past what is now the City of Poughkeepsie in 1609, they sailed into a region that had been inhabited for centuries by a mixture of Algonquin-speaking peoples from the Mahican, Lenape, and Munsee cultures. The people living closest to the waterfall called “Pooghkepesingh” were Wappinger, part of the Lenape nation. The Wappinger likely had ample reason to settle near the Pooghkepesingh falls – the river and the small stream that ran to it from the falls provided good places to fish, and the surrounding hills offered both protection and ample opportunities to hunt. As the Dutch colony of New Netherland took shape along the banks of the Hudson River, the Dutch largely bypassed the river’s east bank. The Dutch preferred settling on the river’s mouth (now New York City), its northern navigable terminus (today’s Albany), and landings on the western bank of the Hudson (such as the modern city of Kingston). As such, Europeans did not show up in force near the Pooghkepesingh falls until the late 17th century. By that time, the Dutch had lost control of their colony to the English. It was a mix of these two groups that started building what is now the city of Poughkeepsie. On May 5, 1683, a Wappinger named Massany signed a deed giving control of the land around the Pooghkepesingh falls to two Dutch settlers, Pieter Lansingh and Jan Smeedes, who planned to build a mill on the small creek running from the falls.

  • Walking Tour of the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery
    A Walking Tour of the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery A BRIEF EARLY HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY In the middle decades of the nineteenth century, a revolution took place in the manner in which Americans viewed death and burial. "Rural cemeteries" replaced church yards and family plots as the burial place of choice, and the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery was part of this revolution. Even though they were nearly always located near growing urban areas, these cemeteries were called "rural" because their carefully landscaped grounds embodied a respect for nature, and provided a respite from the chaotic bustle of the city. In December 1852, a committee was formed to seek land for a new cemetery for the city of Poughkeepsie, as it was evident that the local church yard burial grounds would soon be filled. Among the members of the committee was local brewer Matthew Vassar, who later founded Vassar College. The committee first considered °a parcel of fifty acres of land on the east side of Academy Street, which Vassar purchased for $8000, with the intent of then selling it to the subscribers of the cemetery. Not enough subscribers could be found for this land and the committee decided to look for another location. Vassar then built his summer home, named Springside and designed by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing, on this site. The cemetery committee finally decided on a fifty-four acre parcel of land located on the west side of Academy Street and South Avenue and belonging to the estate of Supreme Court Justice Smith Thompson. This land forms the nucleus of the present cemetery.
