Purple mourning lines frame the edges of the 4 pages of card stock which is bound at the top with red cotton ribbon.<p>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."<p>"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".<p>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. Annandale, NY: 1890 through 1896. [1890's] paperback
