When I entered Bard College in 1984, the school had less than a thousand students, the drinking age was 18, and the bookstore sold rolling papers. There were no “speech codes,” “microaggressions,” or Title IX star chamber courts. Bard had no sororities, fraternities, or gym, and some of the worst teams in the history of intercollegiate athletics. However, we did have great concerts at Sottery Hall and Kline Commons —Sonic Youth, Bad Brains, John Lee Hooker, The Big Noise, A Subtle Plague, Camper Van Beethoven, The Meat Puppets, The Minutemen, Firehose and others—that more than made up for it.
