| COLLECTIONS OF ART | PART III, LINE 4 | BENNINGTON COLLEGE WAS THE FIRST COLLEGE IN THE NATION TO INCLUDE THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS AS AN EQUAL PARTNER IN THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM. BY THE MIDDLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY, BENNINGTON WAS ALREADY PLAYING A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE AMERICAN ART SCENE - SERVING AS A LOCUS FOR MANY MAJOR FIGURES IN THE ART WORLD. BECAUSE OF ITS REMARKABLE HISTORY, BENNINGTON COLLEGE HAS ACQUIRED A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS, PRINTS AND SCULPTURES - A LARGE PORTION OF THE COLLECTION CONSISTING OF WORK MADE BY ITS RENOWNED ALUMNI, FACULTY AND CAMPUS VISITORS. PRIMARILY A TEACHING COLLECTION, NEW WORK AND WORK FROM THE EXISTING COLLECTION ARE EVALUATED FOR THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE COLLECTION AS A WHOLE. SELECT WORK IS OCCASIONALLY LENT FOR NATIONAL EXHIBITIONS AND EXHIBITIONS IN THE REGION. MUCH OF THE COLLECTION IS PERMANENTLY ON DISPLAY THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS AND IS EXHIBITED ROUTINELY THROUGH SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS IN THE COLLEGE'S USDAN GALLERY AND THE CROSSETT LIBRARY. |

| ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | PART III, LINE 1 | THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO BROUGHT BENNINGTON COLLEGE INTO BEING SOUGHT TO CREATE A COLLEGE THAT WOULD EMPHASIZE "THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT AND HER DEVELOPING INTERESTS," LEARNING "BY ACTIVITY AND LIVING," A COMMUNITY LIFE DESIGNED TO "BREAK DOWN ARTIFICIAL BARRIERS BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT AND BETWEEN CURRICULUM AND EXTRA CURRICULUM," AND "A CONSCIOUS ELASTICITY IN EDUCATIONAL PLANS." THE PRINCIPLE OF LEARNING BY PRACTICE AND THE EMPHASIS ON THE INDIVIDUAL UNDERLIE EVERY MAJOR FEATURE OF A BENNINGTON EDUCATION: THE CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENT AND TEACHER, THE INSISTENCE ON SELF-DETERMINATION, THE COMMITMENT TO LEARNING ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES, AND THE FIELD WORK TERM, WHICH GIVES STUDENTS WORK EXPERIENCE AND CONNECTS THEM TO THE GREATER COMMUNITY. THE PLAN PROCESS, THROUGH WHICH STUDENTS DESIGN THEIR ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES AND NAVIGATE THEIR BENNINGTON CAREERS, EMBODIES THE COLLEGE'S MISSION. ALSO KEY TO BENNINGTON'S PHILOSOPHY IS THE CONVICTION THAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION SHOULD NOT MERELY PROVIDE PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL OR A CAREER, BUT SHOULD BE AN EXPERIENCE VALUABLE IN ITSELF AND THE MODEL FOR A LIFELONG HABIT OF LEARNING. IN THE 1930S THE COLLEGE'S FIRST PRESIDENT, ROBERT DEVORE LEIGH, DEVELOPED A STATEMENT DESCRIBING BENNINGTON'S GUIDING IDEALS. THIS STATEMENT-WHICH WAS READ AT THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT IN 1936 AND HAS BEEN PART OF EVERY COMMENCEMENT SINCE-CONTINUES TO EXPRESS THE COLLEGE'S MISSION AND PURPOSES. |
| COMMENCEMENT STATEMENT | BENNINGTON REGARDS EDUCATION AS A SENSUAL AND ETHICAL, NO LESS THAN AN | INTELLECTUAL, PROCESS. IT SEEKS TO LIBERATE AND NURTURE THE INDIVIDUALITY, THE CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE, AND THE ETHICAL AND AESTHETIC SENSIBILITY OF ITS STUDENTS, TO THE END THAT THEIR RICHLY VARIED NATURAL ENDOWMENTS WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARD SELF-FULFILLMENT AND TOWARD CONSTRUCTIVE SOCIAL PURPOSES. WE BELIEVE THAT THESE EDUCATIONAL GOALS ARE BEST SERVED BY DEMANDING OF OUR STUDENTS' ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLANNING OF THEIR OWN PROGRAMS, AND IN THE REGULATION OF THEIR OWN LIVES ON CAMPUS. STUDENT FREEDOM IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF RESTRAINT, HOWEVER; IT IS RATHER THE FULLEST POSSIBLE SUBSTITUTION OF HABITS OF SELF-RESTRAINT FOR RESTRAINT IMPOSED BY OTHERS. THE EXERCISE OF STUDENT FREEDOM IS THE VERY CONDITION OF A MEANINGFUL EDUCATION, AND AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THE NURTURE OF FREE CITIZENS, DEDICATED TO CIVILIZED VALUES AND CAPABLE OF CREATIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE MEMBERSHIP IN MODERN SOCIETY. |
| PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | PART III, LINE 4A | BENNINGTON'S CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF PUBLIC ACTION, WHICH OPENED IN 2011, IS THE LATEST EXPRESSION OF THE COLLEGE'S COMMITMENT TO ENGAGING THE WORLD: BY EMBEDDING IN THE CURRICULUM AN ONGOING DYNAMIC BETWEEN PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND PRIVATE AMBITIONS, BENNINGTON AIMS TO INCREASE THE ODDS THAT ITS GRADUATES ARE COMMITTED TO, AND CAPABLE OF, EFFECTIVE ACTION IN THE WORLD. BENNINGTON STUDENTS DRAW ON THE FULL BREADTH OF THE COLLEGE'S CURRICULUM-WHICH OFFERS PROGRAMS IN THE HUMANITIES, NATURAL SCIENCES, MATHEMATICS, SOCIAL SCIENCES, AND VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS-TO DESIGN INDIVIDUAL COURSES OF STUDY THAT ARE UNIFIED AND FUELED BY THEIR INTELLECT AND IMAGINATION, GUIDED BY THEIR FACULTY, AND SHAPED BY THEIR EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE WORLD EACH YEAR. THE COLLEGE'S 668 UNDERGRADUATES HAIL FROM 31 COUNTRIES AND 42 STATES, AND THEY HAVE SPENT FIELD WORK TERM ON 6 OUT OF 7 CONTINENTS. |
