Joseph Murphy:
A Man Who Doesn't Stand Still
Dr. Joseph S. Murphy, currently president of
Queens College of the City University of New York,
becomes Bennington's seventh president on
January 1st. The Board of Trustees voted
unanimously in favor of a recommendation from
the Presidential Search Committee, and an-
nouncement of Murphy's appointment was of-
ficially made on September 22nd.
A biography of Murphy reads in part as a
travelogue. He has brought his academic acuity and
administrative skill to bear on a broad spectrum of
positions, and has unstintingly courted challenge in
many capacities.
President of Queens since 1971, Murphy also
served for a year as New Jersey's Vice Chancellor
of Higher Education. Prior posts include a two-year
term as director of the Peace Corps' outpost in
Ethiopia and service as an associate director of the
Jobs Corps for the Office of Economic Opportunity.
Murphy began his association with the Peace Corps
in 1965 as director of its Virgin Islands Training
Center, and later worked as an assistant to the
secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
Putting the pieces together, one is struck by the
strong political and social concerns which have
motivated the 43-year-old college president. This
resume juggling act is brought into balance b
Murphey's , a .0. from
Brandeis University in philosophy and political
theory, Murphy has sought contemporary ap-
plications for his own education. Both his masters
and doctoral degrees were awarded by Brandeis,
and following graduation in 1961 he spent four
more years there as an assistant professor. Murphy
completed some work towards his masters at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and
received his A.B. degree with honors from Olivet
College.
Frequently sought as an educational consultant,
Murphy Meets the Press
Dr. Joseph Murphy won't be assuming the
president's office until January, but in a three-day
advance visit to the campus early in October he
planted favorable impressions and high ex-
pectations of quality leadership that have many
people here counting the days till his official
arrival. He had a chance to meet with faculty,
students and administrators, and the clear-headed
optimism which greeted him must have been as
cheering as the beautiful fall weather which graced
his brief stay.
Responding to questions from several reporters
gathered for an informal press conference during
his visit, Murphy offered candid opinions on a
variety of topics.
He made it clear that evaluating the college's
budget will be a priority concern when he arrives in
January, and pointed out that student and faculty
interests will be paramount in his considerations.
Though it is far too early to tel I where changes may
be called for, Murphy's recent handling of the
Queens College budget cutbacks offers an example

Joseph Murphy
Murphy served on Hugh Carey's Task Force on
Higher Education, New York City Council's Com-
mission on Adult Education, Carey's Task Force on
Transition, and New Jersey's Scholarship Com-
mission. From 1973 to 7 4, he was president of New
York City's College Public Agency Council, and from
'73 to '75 vice chairman of the Regent's Regional
Coordinating Council for Postsecondary Education
in New York City.
Recipient of a U.S. foreign service merit award,
of the new president's total devotion to the in-
tegrity of an institution he saved from budgetary
strangulation.
In 1975, Murphy offered to sell his presidential
home in Douglaston rather than cut $160,000 from
the Queens budget, which caused the embarrassed
Board of Education to let the matter drop. In the fall
of this year, he cut only $1.2 million from the
college's budget, refusing to fire full-time faculty to
make the $1.8 million cut the New York chancellor
of higher education had ordered. Most recently,
Murphy fought for and won back $2.6 million the
chancellor had ordered cut.
An editorial in the Queens College newspaper
"Phoenix" stated, "Murphy's stay at the college was
characterized by many personal and professional
sacrifices. Besides not having time to teach, he has,
time after time, had to put his job on the line to
protect the college. Last year he and three other
CUNY presidents agreed to stand up to the
chancellor and refuse to cut their budgets as much
as he wanted them to. When pressure from the
Murphy has served · as a consultant on economic
and community development and education in
Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, India and the Pacific.
His professional memberships include the
American Association of Higher Education, the
American Philosophical Association and the
American Association for the Advancement of
Science.
Murphy's work for the community includes
membership on the Queens County Art and
Cultural Center board of trustees, the board of
directors of the Queens Symphony Orchestra, and
the N.Y. American Red Cross board of directors. He
is a board member of the Ralph Bunche Institute on
the United Nations, and recently served as a
member of the board for Operation Sail, part of
New York's bic'entennial celebration.
Murphy is the author of the book "Political
Theory: A Conceptual Analysis," and is a con-
tributor to "The Journal of the History of
Philosophy." His doctoral dissertation, "The Theory
of Universals in 18th Century British Empiricism,"
was published in 1961. A contributor to the
"American Political Science Review," "The Nation,"
and numerous other journals and magazines,
Murphy has written frequently on education,
political theory and philosophy.
Murphy and his wife, Peggy, have been married
22 years and have three children, Lisa, 17,
Susanne, 15, and Peter, 7. It's a family, Murphy
says, which is "not the type to put down roots.
We've I ived all over the world and we get tired of
living in one place."
The travelogue ends, for the moment, in the
president's office at Bennington College. Joining
forces now are a college with a reputation for
innovation and a man who, quite clearly, doesn't
stand still. The combination looks downright in-
spired.
.
chancellor increased the other presidents backed
down; Murphy alone stood his ground."
Speaking with reporters gathered in Dickinson
lounge, Murphy also noted one · reason for the
importance of addressing the Bennington budget:
"This place is better off financially healthy because
it can bring in students of every financial and ethnic
background. I am concerned with increasing capital
resources for generating scholarship money."
Calling Bennington an "exciting and vital place in
American higher education," Murphy offered this
impression of the faculty: "All of them bear a
profound commitment to Bennington College. This
is not like anything I've seen before. Their salaries
are low yet their enthusiasm for the college is
greater than what I've seen at any other college
without exception. They love the place."
He characterized the college as having "an
unstructured environment in which bureaucratic
restraints don't exist. The faculty are encouraged to
continued on page 2
be creative and productive. They hove so much
leeway in putting the curriculum together with
students, ond this freedom is risky business by
traditional higher education standards, but it is
worth it, especially for the students." He summed
up the college's atmosphere and operation by
saying, " I don 't know of any place where
everything is so geared to the welfore and
development of its students."
When pressed for a near-philosophical comment
on the value of a liberal arts .education by a
reporter, Murphy grinned and prefaced his com-
ment by saying he has been asked to distill his
views on the subject many times but would attempt
yet onother definitive remark. "A great deal of
higher education hos as its objective training
people to categorize themselves into slots in large
corporate or bureaucratic structures and making
them adapt to this particular social and economic
environment. The liberal arts teaches people who
they ore and whot their options are, without the
end goal of bureaucratic pigeon-holing. The liberal
arts gives people the rhetorical and conceptual
tools to describe themselves, their lives and their
goals."
''An uneducated person," Murphy continued,
"when confronted with difficulties like losing his
job or finding that his kids haven't turned out as he
expected, feels that life Is composed of a series of
mysterious forces operating on him. The educated
person understonds the social, economic,
psychological and political forces which affect him
and can determine where he stands ond where he
ought to go in the world.'
Responding to a reporter's suggestion that he
will be stepping into the presidency at a time when
the college faces problems, Murphy remarked, " I'm
not here because Bennington is in trouble. Im no
messiah . This is a worthy place and on Interesting
one . There are hundreds of liberal arts colleges in
this country I wouldn't go near. I wont the in-
tellectual stimulation I con draw from Bennington . I
don 't wont to forget that I have a broin as well as a
green eyeshode."
Discussing letter grades . which were recently
eliminated , Murphy remarked, " My natural In-
clination Is to give people options. a chance to
select either grades or no grades. But the better
graduate schools will take a letter of support about
a successful student from Bennington because this
is the kind of place which already has o lot to
recommend about its students. "
Asked about the presumptive tenure system,
Murphy mode it dear that he must study the issue
at length before offering an opinion, but stressed
the fact that his role In altering the arrangement, if
that become necessary would be a minimal one.
"A truly vital tenure system , whether its object is
academic freedom or job security, comes from the
faculty itself ."
When Murphy announced his decision to leave
Queens for the challenges of Bennington, he told a
press conference In New York, "I've been here six
years. That's the longest I've held a job in my life. I
probably would hove left if things were normal
after five years , a reference to the budget
problems he stayed on at Queens to see through to
the end.
An editorial in the Queens paper resolved not to
criticize Murphy for leaving that institution for what
ore undeniably greener pastures, but instead to
"warmly thank him for what he has done for the
college and its students post , present and
future. "
Citing examples of Murphy 's devotion to the high
ideals that made Queens the undisputed best in the
City University system , the paper noted in par-
ticular his accessibility to students and en-
couragement for some of their challenges of
academic policy. 'Whenever the students needed
assistance, Murphy was right at their side. During
lost year's student takeover of Academic II the
president agreed with student demands and,
although he disagreed with their methods, did not
fight them. Instead he sent over pastries and urns
of coffee and spent the night in his office to offer
advice."
Perhaps the closing paragraph of the Queens
paper's article on Murphy's six years at the college
offers a hint of what we can expect come January .
"Murphy leaves behind affection , respect , ap-
prehension over his successor, and o sense that o
man like him comes along only once in o school 's
lifetime ," Now, if only we can keep him longer than
six years . ....

on the Image
of the Androgyne
On the evening of September 21, 1976, in Usdon
Gallery, the Literature and Languages Division
presented faculty member Camille Paglio in o
lecture from her work-in-progress on the image ot
the androgyne in literature and the visual arts. This
was the subject of Ms. Paglia 's Ph.D. dissertation ot
Yale University in 197 4.
The selections which Ms. Paglio read from her
manuscript. which begins in classical antiquity and
ends in modern times, dealt first with Spenser 's
" Faerie Queene" and secondly with a series of
figures from popular culture, Yul Brynner, Diana
Ross, Gracie Allen, and French actress Stephane
Audron .
In her prefatory remarks Ms. Paglio stated; " As a
feminist scholar I use the ondrogyne as a kind of
lens through which to examine masculinity and
femininity in a condensed way . However . the
androgyne is only the nominal subject of my work. I
am really concerned with other things: personality,
history, authority, formality, ceremony." Of her
approach she declared, "My method is an ex-
per I me nto I interdisciplinary one, combining
psychology, art history, and anthropology. "
The selections on Spenser began: "The 'Faerie
Queene' represents literature's greatest epiphany
of what I call the Apollonian androgyne, the angel.
is the incarnation of a figure from Jacques-Louis
David , on embodiment of the will. "
Ms. Paglia spoke of Diana Ross in her years with
the Supremes as having "t he sexually neuter voice
the pre-pubescent boy "; her "h ermaphroditic
voice ... tends to abstract and universalize sen-
timents of otherwise banal specificity ." Ms. Paglio
went on to speak of the analogies between Diano
Ross and the portrayal of female roles by boys on
the Elizabethan stage.
The category to which Gracie Allen belongs has
been named by Ms. Paglio '' the Pythoness ," an idea
which was suggested to her by a Michelangelo
poem alluding to the Delphic oracle. Putting her In
conjunction with a number of other famous stars,
Ms. Paglia spoke of "the emotionally 1mpenetrable
Gracie Allen , with her transflxlngly sibylline
locutions. " She continued : '' Gracie Allen assaults
her companions with her rhetorical precocity ....
She is regarded by them as occupying qu ite another

Schonbeck Premieres
"Ode to Confucius''
for Town & College
Bennin gto n's foll term began with on elaborate
pr esentat ion of a new Collage f rom Gunnar
Schonbeck 's recent seri es. Septembe r 15th marked
the prem iere perf or ma nce of Collage No. 37 ,
en titled " Od e to Confu cius," which featured mu sic
di visi on faculty and students along with musicians
from area high schools and elementary schools ,
under the direction of Schonbeck himself .
The event wa s on open house for the entire Arts
Cent e r. which in cluded pre -concert tour s
throughout the building for area resident s not yet
familiar with the new building and o post -concert
reception in the Newmon Court . The concert itself
took pla ce i n th e G reenwall Music Workshop , and
made full use of the large space .

Schonbeck teaches the audience their vocal port In his orchestra.

Gunnar Schonbeck before the concert.
The composition relied on Schonbeck 's ability to
coordinate, conduct and think on his feet
throughout the performance. With instrumentalists
stationed along three walls, Schonbeck was
constantly in motion , offering cues to performers
and reminding the audience of the ir port in the
orchestra os chanters of sounds like "ming -ling "
and " fu -yi. " The audience rehearsed their ports in
the composition with the composer 's guidance
before the concert began . and their unabashed
participation mode the performance particularly
gratifying .
From the responsive and sensitive in-
strumentalists , Schonbeck elicited the sounds and
textures he sought for the modern adaptation of a

the roles ordinarily assumed by hundreds of ob -
servers and participants in the ancient ceremonies .
The melodic lines underlying the directed im -
provisation were transcribed from papers and
journals on ritual music, and were simple and
effective.
The ceremony on which the composition was
bosed was traditionally performed for the Chinese
emperor in the Third Century B.C., presented at the
temples of the great sage, Confucius. In Chinese
ritual, there ore lucky autumn days for ritual
ceremonies and particularly for ritual music in
honor of Confucius . On these occosions , dancers
perform the "evolutions " of respect .
The instrumentation utilized by Schonbeck in his
classes , performances and events always deserves
close observation and musical attention . In the
"Ode .' ord inary orc he stral inst ruments and a bell -
ri ngers choir were joined by o bond of wooden
instruments , pointed in bright primary colors ; giant

Instrumental solos struck through the orchestral
timbre from time to t ime , ployed by Sue Ann Kahn ,
Jacob Glick , Morta Ptosynzska, Henry Brant and
Louis Calabro , all of the music faculty .
In planning "Ode to Confucius " for o local Arts
Center open house, Schonbeck stressed the im -
portance for neighbors of the college to see the
new building in action. He feels that the Arts
Center must be used not only by the immediate
college community , Because the building is so large
and versatile, many groups , organ izations and
schools should investigate the possibility of using
the Center for performances , sympos ia or other
gatherings.
During the performance , Schonbeck strolled
through the scores of musicians . cueing the ir
entrances with a confident air , as well he might.
Each of his Collages have enjoyed warm audience
reception and hove successfully blended complex
sounds . More importantly . perhaps, his events have
on aura of excitement and envelop the entire hall
in a feeling of cooperation and community . It was a
fine way to begin the new year .

John Cheever Reads
at Bennington
Novelist and short story writer John Cheever
read from his fiction in Commons Theatre in mid·
October as a guest of the literotvre & Languages
faculty. He was introduced by faculty member
Bernard Malamud .
Alumni Susan Clark, who attended the reading
and conversed with Cheever afterwords, offers this
report :
Two Stories by John Cheever
1. How He Came To Read At Bennington
He was at a dinner In Los Angeles with three men
who had beards which were exactly the same -
the same shape. the some color in short, the
some beard. One was X, one was Y and one was a
professor at Bennington College (" Professor of
what I still don 't know ") , and the only way Cheever
could tell them apart was by looking at their shoes.

Acting President Robert Woodworth welcomed
196 entering students early in September os part of
the fall semester's orientation week . The new
students , including 39 sophomore and junior
transfers . constitute on overflowing class which
represents a wide geographic distribution.
In a brief welcoming speech, Woodworth re-
ferred to his own first days at Bennington 41 years
ago and to the self -sufficiency he encouraged on
campus during World War II when he was manager
of the college war form . He urged the students to
think of their educations as occasions for learning
to learn, learning by doing and taking respon-
sibility for individual accomplishments and
directions.
"Bennington College hos always been different
from most colleges . We pioneered the inclusion of
the arts in our curriculum and we hove always

2. What Happened At The Albany-Rensselaer
Station
Disembarking from his train waiting to be token to
Bennington, Cheever sow the Bennington student
who hod been assigned to pick him up walk over to
o large bold man wearing o derby and smoking o
cigar, and say . "You 're John Cheever, aren't you?"
At The Reading
In Commons Theatre, known by dancers for its
efficient dance work space, Cheever read a short
story, " The Death of Justina ," which , he told his
audience, hod been rejected some years ago by
The New Yorker on the grounds that they were " not
an art magazine, " and then o long story, "The
Swimmer, " which bore no outward resemblance to
Burt Lancaster. " Speaking of screenplays, " come a
question from the audience afterword , "what
connection did you have to the screenplay of 'The
Swimmer'?" " I picked up the check, " Cheever
answered, explaining that what went wrong with
the movie was Sam Spiegel's interference.
Cheever read quickly and gently , in o deferential
monotone , and finished in time, he noted, for
everyone to catch the American League playoff
game in the fourth inning.
Cheever's work is a continuou s search for the
emphasized doing things. feeling that such ex -
perience is one of tho best methods of learning ,"
Woodworth remarked.
The Acting President also referred to the
democratic process by which the college operates.
While inviting students to take port in the gover -
nance of the college, he said, " It is always
changing. Each year about 1-3 of the student body
consists of new individuals who hove new ideas
Students , faculty and administrators all participate
in making decisions . Everyone con be heard. You
will hove o major role in fashioning your own social
regul otions ."

the new students : "While working here, you will be

Direc.tor of Admissions Jean S. Aldrich found
occasion on the opening days of the term to provide
information on this year's odmh,!iions 1n com •
por,son to other year s at Bennington and to similar
schools . At Bennington, applications are now - ,-~-

The quality of applications and the interests ond
abilities of candidates hove remained high.
While the number of entering students is seven
less than last yeor, the class is overfull for
projected totals. With a trends towards urban
schools and postponement of the college years,
and with the sheer number of college-age students
fewer this year, most colleges ore suffering a drop
in enrollment. Bennington is maintaining a full
campus of students whose talents and potential are
as high as in the sixties' boom years.

Review: "The Maids"
by Camille Paglia
A production of Genet's "The Maids " was
prHented at Bennington October 7 through 11,
1976, starring Mitchell Lichtenstein and Rick Oller
and directed by M.A. candidate Alison Gobbeo,
who also ployed the role of Madame. Ms . Gobbeo
graduated from Bennington lost June and studied
throughout her senior year with Lee Strosberg in
New York .
Genet explicitly requested the use of moles in
the female roles of " The Maids, " but nevertheless
very few productions hove attempted this. In on
appendix to " Saint Genet " Sartre speaks of Genet 's
transvestite intention here as being " from the very
start to strike at the root of the apparent .'' and
finally to achieve on " absolute state of artifice. "
The audience at the Bennington production of "The
Maids could be left In no doubt that the use of
males In this ploy supplies o further metaphysical
density too work which is already fascinating in its
profuse and volatile fictions .
The production originated lost spring in the
presentation of o scene from the ploy in o drama
doss by Mitchell Lichtenstein and Rick Oller , who
were then recruited this foll by Alison Gobbeo to
act in the complete ploy , the first she hos ever
directed . Ms. Gobbeo began the ploy in darkness ,
in which was heard o famous Doors' song, ''The
End," with Its protracted Oedipal psychodrama. As
the music continued, Rick Oller was seen onstoge
os the maid Solange , who began to perform o
symbolic dance . He mode gestures with his rubber
gloves which reminded me alternately of Rita
Hayworth In " Gilda" and Cocteau's "Orphee; " he
seemed to strangle himself and then bizarrely to
twist his head off his shoulders , his face meanwhile
a mask of stony menace, on archaic Gorgoneion, o
Toltec idol.
David Bowie's "lady Grinning Soul" was heard as
the attention shifted to Mitchell Lichtenstein as the
maid Claire. This was o moment of great brilliance.
The Bowle song provided o luxurious setting for
Mitchell's first appearance. Dressed only In o block
slip, he sot at o vanity table, and, holding o hand-
mirror. he slowly and sensuously mode up his face,
moving his body with o suppleness and fluidity
which one has seen only In great female film stars.
I was particularly struck by on habitual exquisite
lifting of one shoulder. like the Sonsovino Apollo in
Venice ; In this one detail Mitchell's performance
was more convincingly feminine than, for example ,
Delphine Seyrig's in "Lost Year at Morienbod ,"
where the some gesture is used repeatedly. There
seemed to be In Mitchell a kind of anatomical
ambiguity of shoulders and arms, which seemed
female until the viewer was disoriented by the
fleeting suggestion of o powerful thigh- or bicep-
muscle : this disturbance seems to be exactly what
Genet envisioned for his ploy. The overwhelming
impression, however , was one of ravishing beauty :
Mitchell, with his golden skin, his shining hair, his
Adonis-like throat, his pink cheeks and white teeth,
his Vivien Leigh smile, was on unforgettable image
of freshness, of androgynous adolescent per -
fection, what the ancients called the transient
moment of "bloom ."
At times Mitchell reminded me of the trans·
vestlte Katharine Hepburn of " Sylvia Scarlett. "
One felt , particularly when he put on his dangling
rhinestone earrings, that he was not conspicuously
less feminine than fashionable women of the
Twenties : this observation was confirmed when he
appeared later in the ploy in on elegant Thirties
evening gown , maroon velvet with sloshed sleeves.
Mitchell 's Initial appearance , however , was classic :
his narcissistic self -absorption as Claire . intensely
communing with herself in her hona •mirror , ranks
for me with two other i mmortal moments. The first
was Nico ,n Warhol's " The Chelsea Girls " (1966) , in
which Nico , on one side of the split screen , pains ·
tokingly snips at blonde bongs for twenty
minutes, looking impassively into the eye of the
camera as if it were a mlrror. The second was Ford
model Leno Konsbod, whom I observed in August
bei ng photographed in front of the Plaza Hotel for o
Bloomingdole's Kenzo od for the ' New York
Times :" at one point , turning in motionless Egyptian
profile to the crowd of onlookers. she took what
seemed fully f ive minutes to slowly touch up her
lipstick with o tiny brush , contemplating her
reflection raptly in o compact mirror . It was a passage from Mishimo was used improvisationally

theatricality intensified by a magnetic solipsism. Ms . Gobbeo devised o number of other in •

pleasure of the purest kind . Moreover, I hove and some of these gestures and "affectations "
were retained for the ploy. A small and " prison•
like' ' space in the new arts building was chosen In
order to create the garret of the maids , which is
alluded to but never shown in the ploy . o spoce
which also reproduced Genet's prison-cell ; here the
octors did improvisations involving the two sisters
at various prior stages of their development , for
example. at pube1cence . There were im -
provisations for two days in the graveyard con-
tiguous to the campus, below Franklin House : the
actors read from Sade's ''Juliette. " At another time
Ms. Gobbeo cut up phrases from Genet's other
works and handed them to the actor, to read
onstoge ; these phrases were committed to memory
for mental use in the silent moments of "The
Maids ," so that the actors "would not slip out of the
world of Genet."
Ms. Gobbeo hod the actors use a voice which was
intermediate between mole and female, except
when they were imitating Madame. when they
used "a breathiness and smoothness of style "
which was drown from Moe West and Marilyn
Monroe. In order to get the actors to achieve what
the director regarded as "female internal sen-
sations " and "o female center," which would aid
them in their walk and physical stance, she hod
them do "flow exercises," to enable them " to in-
ternalize their mole sex organs." She talked to
Mltche/1 L/ctensteln os the self-absorbed Clo/re.
them about essential female experiences like
menstruation and childbirth and attempted to get
written a good deal in my own work about the them to redirect their sexual sensations upward, to
portrayal of female roles by boys in Elizabethan Induce responses from, for example , their
drama. but never in my life hove I seen this shoulders . (One cannot help feeling that these
phenomenon with my own eyes, as I did in Mitchell exercises must hove strongly influenced Mitchell
Lichtenstein 's performance . The spectator at this Lichtenstein's remarkable physical virtuosity .) The
production of 'ihe Maids " seemed to see Rosalind 's director chose all the costumes. She selected a slip
wooing scene with Orlando in "As You Like It ," in
which o boy plays o girl ploying o boy ploying o girl.
I Interviewed director Gobbeo for Quadrille on
the ideas which went Into her production of the
ploy. She cited o number of direct influences : the
Marquis de Sode, Botoille's "Death and Sensuality ,"
"Venus in Furs, " and Gilles Deleuze's "Socher-
Mosach " (o book which Is virtually unknown in this
country but which was brought to Bennington from
England by former philosophy teacher Jomes
Fessenden). Ms . Gobbeo used " Saint Genet "
heavily for its gesture-theory , which she ac-
centuated by the continual use of mirrors
throughout the ploy . She also drew upon Mishlmo s
'Temple of the Down ," with its parable of the land
of the Pomegranates , in which one class , the
Beautiful, Is exploited by another, the Deformed,
who eventually enact a "Murder Theater. " This

for Mitchell which wos emphatically flat, so as not
to give the impression of "deflated breasts ;" she
wished "to get at the feminine quality of the actual
male chest." She hod Mitchell point his nipples
onstoge in order , once again, "to drow attention to
his male breasts " and, presumably, to increose the
sense of sexual paradox.
Ms. Gobbeo conceives of "The Maids" as "o
ceremony within a ceremony within o ceremony,''
and she characterizes her direction as one which
emphasized ritualism and choreography . Details
from the crime of the Papin sisters. which was
Genet 's source , were used to enrich the gestures in
the ploy, and in fact an actual photograph of the
sisters was reproduced in the program. I remarked
to Ms. Gobbeo thot the ploy was many times
allowed to take a tone of high comedy which
seemed natural to it. The American Film Theatre
production of "The Maids " permitted this only when
Vivien Merchant was on camera: the absence of
this dimension in the scenes between Glendo
Jackson ond Susannah York tended to create a
certain monotony and, ultimately, stridency. For
this spectator, one of the distinctions of the Ben·
nington production of "The Maids" was its
achievement of o unique conflation ?f comedy,
horror, and glamour.

REPORT
ON THE FINANCES
OF
BENNINGTON COLLEGE
WITH A LIST OF DONORS
July 1, 1975-June 30, 1976
In a year when the presen ce of support wos as important os ifs financial im-
pact, annual gifts from alumni. parents, friends, foundations , and corporations to
Bennington College exceeded those of the previous year and convincingly
demonstrated the warmth which the greater Bennington family feels toward the
College. Annual giving in 1975-76 totalled $277,453. Tho College received, in
addition, $111,565 in capital gifts for endowmen t , the Arts Center. and the Ed-
ward Clarke Crossett Library. These ore not easy times for fund raising, and yet
your intense interest. generous gifts , and continuing concern encourage us to
project for the future not only a steadily increasing stream of annual con-
tributions, but also a successful major capital funds drive.
Many of you made second gifts during the Spring of 1976 , and many, who had
not previously supported the College. mode a generous first financial com-
mitment, The challenge grant to match new and increased gifts was successfully
met and surpassed as well. These were importa nt elements in our fund -raising
success.
Although I hove left the Acting Presidency, the Trustees hove asked me to
become Chairman of the Capital Campaign Steering Committee. and I hove
happily accepted. In this role, I will be seeking your support for Bennington s
pressing capital needs. But this will not diminish the intensity of our annual giving
campaigns. The College must hove your involvement in many ways, and your
recurrent annual contributions will remain a necessity of life for Bennington. The
College hos a strong future but it depends on your consistent financial suppor1.
We thank you heartily for your gifts to the annual fund in 1975-76 and hope you
will continue and increase them, as we increase our efforts, in 1976 and 1977.

Joseph S. Isen1an
Acting President, February 6-June 30, 1976

When last we met on the printed page. I Issued
an oblique threat. suggesting that I was more than
ready to replace the name "Quadrille" with a title
more engaging and representative of Bennington's
buoyant nature. To date, both hue and cry on this
matter hove been utterly absent from my daily moil
pouch, placing me in what nature herself abhors, a
vacuum.
Rather than leap to hasty conclusions about
Bennington apathy, I would simply like to reiterate
my unremitting desire for o new name for this
publication. I am, of course, prepored to offer a
substantial reword to any Individual who originates
a brilliant new title. Examples of my proposed
largesse: a guided trip for two through the new

Literature at Bennington
The spring , 1977 edition of Quadrille will focus
on the teaching and practice of literature, with
works and commentary from the people who
studied it at Bennington and continue to write
and publish their work.
Although several manuscripts hove already
been solicited and received, the editor welcomes
contributions from all alumni engaged in writing
projects . Your remarks on studying literature
while at Bennington are equally necessary to
make this issue a well-rounded discussion of the
field .
As some of you may know, plans for this issue
began nearly a year ago. with publication delays
centering around reporting of the Porkers '
resignation and the dedication of the Arts
Center. To those of you who were forced to
assume the issue would never see the light of
galleys, our apologies for our procrastination.

The New Paper Goes to Press

A student newspaper hos finally been
established on campus, and has published one
issue this term, with plans of two more to follow
before NRT. By the spring term, a monthly
publication schedule is hoped for if student support
and contrl but ions warrant. Subscriptions to The
New Poper will become available once the paper's
financial base is more flrmly established.
The first issue covered reactions to the colleges
recent appearance in the notional media, and
included an interview with Esquire feature writer
Nora Ephron, whose "Bennington Affair '' appeared
in that magazines September issue .
In a statement issued prior to delivery of The
New Paper's first Issue, the staff said it "feels that it
is time for Bennington to toke its own look at
Bennington. By this we mean that Bennington must
hove some means by which it con interpret and
analyze the events and issues that determine the
Bennington Experience. The New Poper will grow
with the support and enthusiasm of the Bennington
Community. Without this support, this will be the
first and lost issue of our student paper .''
The paper's editors alternate from issue to issue,
providing variety and relieving each individual
from the pressures of what could be a full-time job ,
.
Business manager Amy Spound is heading the
paper's efforts to secure display advertising and
supervising the financial end of production . Senior
editors of the first Issue were Laine Hommer and
Amy Spound. and John Sovlov handled layout.
The New Paper hos already received some
financial support from alumni and trustees , but the
dream of a self-supporting publishing venture
based on advertising revenues Is for from
realization. Because the paper is now distributed
free of charge, the staff seeks financial support
from ell college constituencies.

Newman Performing Arts Fund Established

The Tru:.tees of Bennington College have an·
nounced that Or . and Mrs . William R. Wollner,
(Patricio Newmon '44), hove established the
Jerome A . Newmon Performing Arts Endowment
Fund at the college. The announcement was timed
to coincide with Mr. Newman's 80th birthday,
October 19th .
Yearly or bl-yearly income from the Fund will
support visiting artist fellowships or productions in
the performing arts. The generous flexibility
determining the Fund's use will support the work of
performing arts divisions of dance, drama, music,
block music and theatre, providing programs of
value and interest to the college community and
the larger area community as well .
The Fund will be administered by the president of
the college, who will give priority to the dance
division's needs in accordance with the Woolners '
wishes.
Jerome Newman was o member of the Ben-
nington College Board of Trustees for ten years. His
providential and wise advice and constant at-
tention to oll matters affecting the college, during
his trusteeship and ofter, have had far-reaching
and beneficial influence on the college.
Patricio Woolner, Mr. Newman's daughter, Is a
1944 graduate of the college, and currently
director of the Yard, a dance, music and theatre
project in Martha's Vineyard. The Woolner-
Newmon connection with Bennington extends
another generation, to a 1971 graduate of the
college, Victoria Woolner, Mr. Newman's grand -
daughter.
The trvstees hove expressed the community 's
grateful thanks to Jerry Newmon and to his
daughter and son-in-low for their great generosity
in honoring their father by giving his birthday gift
to Bennington College.
