ARTICLES RELATED TO Bard College | | | |  Bard College: Encyclopedia II - Bard College - HistoryThe college was originally founded under the name St. Stephen's, in association with the Episcopal church of New York City, and changed its name to Bard in 1934 in honor of its founder, John Bard.

| | | | Bard College: Encyclopedia II - Saul Bellow - Examples of Prose (1) This is the famous and often quoted beginning of Augie March:
I am an American, Chicago-born—Chicago, that somber city—and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent. But a man’s character is his fate, says Heraclitus, and in the end there isn’t any way to disguise the nature of the knocks by acoustical work on the door or gloving the knuckles.
Everyone knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thin ...

| | | | Bard College: Encyclopedia II - Yoko Ono - Life with Lennon Ono is best known for marrying The Beatles' John Lennon. They first met when Lennon visited a preview of an exhibition of Ono's in London in 1966. He was taken with the attitude and interactivity of her work, such as a ladder leading up to the word "Yes" written on the ceiling, that she wanted him to have to pay 200 pounds to hammer a nail into a panel of wood (as the show was only beginning the day after), and a decomposing apple. They began an affair two years later, eventually resulting in Lennon divorcing his first wife, Cynthia. They married on March 20, 1969 on the Rock of Gibraltar. Their son, Sean, was born o ...

Max Frisch was born in 1911 in Zurich; his father was an architect. He enrolled at the University of Zurich in 1930 and began studying German literature, but had to abandon due to financial problems after the death of his father in 1932. Instead, he started working as a journalist and columnist for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), one of the major newspapers in Switzerland.
