De-a lungul
secolului

, p?mantul de?inut azi de Colegiul Bard a constat mai ales din diferite propriet??i imobiliare, putand diferite nume, a?a cum au fost, Blithewood, Bartlett, Sands, Cruger's Island ?i Ward Manor/Almont.

In decursul
secolului 20
, schimb?rile din
inalta societate
a statului ?i ora?ului
New York
, au marcat declinul mariilor propriet??i imobiliare, fapt de care Bard College a profitat prin cump?rarea de alte terenuri, care au dus la actuala m?rime a suprafe?ei de?inute, de aproximativ 24 de
hectare
.
In 1969, a police raid on Bard led a young
Donald Fagen
to write

.
