Description

As president of Columbia University, Nicholas Murray Butler was the official president of St. Stephen’s, renamed Bard in 1934, while the three men who headed Bard between these years, 1928–1944, carried the title of dean. Dr. Butler was a strong supporter of Bard’s educational potential, and he worked closely with the College’s administrators and trustees to reach this potential, despite the intervening years of the Depression and WWII.
