Included are 30 original photographs including 29 cyanotypes, 13 of which depict college buildings, the remaining 17 being portraits and scenery, including the campus, Zabriskies Falls, and interiors.

Also included in this collection are 14 ephemeral publications and brochures relating to St. Stephen's College with programs and flyers for events, including 3 relating to the ritual burying of the algebra by incoming freshmen. The items were all apparently once removed from a scrapbook and thus the condition varies. A few have stains while several have remnants of paper or glue on the versos. Following is a list of the images represented by the photographs: 1) The entrance to Potter Hall (part of Stone Row) with a horse-drawn cart. 2) An unidentified image which looks like a dormitory building. 3) Chapel of Holy Innocents and St. Margaret's Well with the Stone Row dormitories in the background 4) Chapel of Holy Innocents & St. Margaret's Well (1890) [Part of Stone Row in the background]. 5) Bard Hall (1891).

The program is dated "March '93" in ink at the bottom of the cover. 2) A 2-page "St. Stephen's College" brochure.

Together with the original mourning envelope. 9) A 3-page program for the "Laying of the Corner-stone" of the Hoffman Library dated June 22, 1893. Construction of the library began in 1893 and was completed in 1895. 10) A humorous description of the death and burial of algebra in 1894 and it's subsequent exhumation by the class of 1897. The 4-page announcement is printed on light gray card stock shaped as a tombstone. The original mourning envelope is present. 11) A 4-page program with class statistics entitled "Class Day S. Stephen's College. June 15, 1892".

Purple mourning lines frame the edges of the 4 pages of card stock which is bound at the top with red cotton ribbon. The tradition behind the burial of the algebra was sort of a light hazing ritual performed by freshmen students. Thirty days after arriving at Bard, the freshmen were to steal an algebra book which they were to then sign and bury with several bottles of wine. Then, the night before commencement the students now seniors, would dig it up and consume the wine, raising a toast to their graduating class. The ritual is described as follows in a 1930 issue of the Lyre Tree, a student newspaper: "There is a tradition of long standing at St. Stephen's that within 30 days after the close of the first semester the Freshman class shall, with all the ritual and solemnity due to the occasion, secretly inter an algebra, autographed by each member of the class and with it a certain quantity of wine. To be legal, every Freshman must be at the grave during the burial. At the end of the four years, the algebra is exhumed and burned on a funeral pyre, during the Class Day exercises. Toasts are drunk to the college and to the outgoing and incoming Senior class." "St. Stephen's College was established as a Training College for the Ministry, and as such it was requested to make an annual report to the Convention of the Diocese of New York. The object was the supervision of the young men who had devoted themselves to the ministry of the Church. It was afterwards opened to any who would not disturb the general purpose for which it was originally instituted." [Quoted from "The Thirty-First Annual Catalogue of St. Stephen's College, Annandale, N.Y. 1892-93". The land now owned by Bard College was once composed of several country estates, Blithewood, Bartlett, Sands, Cruger's Island, and Ward Manor/Almont among them. John & Margaret Bard purchased a part of the Blithewood estate in 1853. Renaming the property as Annandale, they established a parish school the following year. They then began building the Chapel of the Innocents next to Bard Hall in 1857 and the following year donated the unfinished Chapel and surrounding acreage to New York's Episcopal diocese which had promised financial support to grow the school into a theological college. St. Stephen's College was thus founded in 1860. In honor of its founder, the school changed its name to Bard College in 1934. Ten years later, in 1944, Bard became a co-educational school, welcoming female students and faculty. Good .

James B. Pond Presents Miriam Finn Scott, Child Diagnostician, in Lectures & Addresses on Child Problems -- How to Meet and Overcome Them. (Brochure).
New York: The Pond Bureau, circa [1924]. [1924]. - Quarto, 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Softcover, self-wraps. A four-page brochure printed on cream paper with a portrait of Miriam Finn Scott on the cover page. There is some light creasing to the top edges of the pages. Very good.

On the rear page is a Little, Brown & Co. listing of books by Scott that they have published and quotations from positive reviews.
Miriam Finn Scott (1882-1944) was born in Vilna, Russia and immigrated to the United States with her family in 1893. Her interest in child development was aroused by her first job working at a roof playground for children in 1898 and then managing a roof playground at the University Settlement in New York City. From 1903 to 1906 she worked at the Speyer School which expanded into a neighborhood settlement in Harlem where Scott became director of the "children's and girls club work". After postgraduate work in Europe in the field of educational psychology she felt confident that she could make her own independent contribution to parent education and in 1915 she founded a clinic called the Children's Garden. It became one of the first laboratory clinics where the relationship between parents and their children was explored. Very good .
