Item Bennington College Standards and Rules(1934-09-06)This document was sent to all freshman in September 1934 from the Educational Policies Committee. “Bennington College is more than a collection of individuals; it is a community in which students and faculty are engaged in the common enterprise of education. The quality of the community life built up will not only determine the success of the whole educational venture; it will also affect for good or ill the social habits and ways of thinking of its individual members. To learn to live as a member of a cooperative community, without sacrificing individuality, is an important part of the educational experience offered by the College. We have therefore thought it wise to define our responsibilities, and our mutual obligations.”Item Bennington College's first entering class and the discussion and development of governance structures 1933(1933-11-28) Summers, Janet"After discussing the whole question of rules we felt that here we had the opportunity to try a more ideal system -one based on the theory that most of us had learned to govern ourselves and that those who hadn't could be taught not by punishment, but by a process of individual treatment and help."Item Item Community Council Minutes(Bennington College, 1955-09-22) Berry, Jane Ann; Starr, LisaItem Community Council Minutes(Bennington College, 1955-09-21) Berry, Jane"A complaint about unruly men visitors on campus has been repeatedly handed to the committee.."Item Community Meeting Minutes and Notes November 15 1932(1932-11-15) Carr, LouisePresident Leigh gave a brief explanation of Parliamentary forms.
