Description
In the
spring
2005
issue
of
About
Town
magazine
,
Dorothy
Crane
writes
about
the '
pool
by the
falls
': "The
pool
was an
integral
part
of
summer
life
at
Bard
for
20
years
after
the
college
acquired
it
. A
green
canopy
of
overhanging
trees
shaded
the
surrounding
wooden
deck
.
Faculty
sat
in their
lawn
chairs
,
smoking
cigarettes
,
drinking
gin
and
tonics
, and
discussing
politics
and the
latest
college
gossip
.
Children
perched
tentatively
on the
edge
at the
shallow
end
,
carefully
watched
by
parents
because
even
the
shallow
end
was
pretty
deep
.
Students
did
cannonballs
off
the
diving
board
.
My
husband's
friend
put
his
kayak
in the
pool
to
practice
rollovers
. There was
no
chlorine
smell
,
only
the
fresh
.
churned-up
mist
generated
by the
falls
and the
roar
of the
cascading
water
.
It
felt
more
like
a
swimming
hole
than a
pool
.
My
husband
and his
friends
who
grew
up
on and
around
the
campus
describe
the
pool
as a
sort
of
Garden
of
Eden
.
When
he and
I
were
first
getting
to
know
each
other
I
had the
sense
that
meeting
the
stream
and the
pool
was
almost
as
important
as
my
meeting
his
parents.
