  About Bard | History of Bard
Bard has developed a new vision and model of the liberal arts college, as a central body surrounded by significant institutes and programs—"satellites"—that strengthen its curriculum.
Although Bard and Simon's Rock remain distinct and carry on separate academic programs at their respective campuses, the relationship between the two institutions gives Bard an exceptional opportunity to apply its experience as a liberal arts college to the development of a strong curriculum for younger students.
In 1986 Bard established The Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, which is dedicated to improving the human condition through the study of economics and the generation of effective public policy responses to important economic problems worldwide.

In Shakespearean Variations, Ralph McInerny takes the first lines of the sonnets and their end rhymes, and composes sonnets of his own.
The formal structure of the sonnet has always provided a salutary discipline for the poet – iambic pentameter, the delicate symmetry of octet and sextet, the closing couplet which epitomizes the poem.
The stamp that Shakespeare put upon the form, the themes of love and death, age and youth, loyalty and betrayal, have come to seem to adhere to the very form.

 The Bard Observer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The Constant Gardener is a paradigm of modern dramatic film: it is emotionally powerful without ever manipulating its audience, and it delivers a powerful indictment of the abuse of African Natives by drug companies without distracting itself from the story it is telling.
Ralph Fiennes is superb, giving a performance that is both intensely emotional and subtle, his best since Schindler’s List.
The Constant Gardener is still a fantastic film that manages to wet the eyes of the audience members, and whet their appetites for more work by Meirelles, who continues to prove himself to be an excellent filmmaker.
