Description

Student Jack Feare ’53, his wife Rachelle, and their baby in their room on campus. In the 1950s it was not unusual for students to have families, and they were often given special accommodations. By the early sixties, however, the College catalog stated that Bard would take “no responsibility whatsoever for the housing of married students,” a decision made jointly by President Kline, the dean, Buildings and Grounds, and the Faculty Housing Committee.
