during my browsing of the internet tonight, something told me to look up Bennett College, Millbrok, NY and lo and behold, I see this awesome blog. I am one of the last students of the graduating class of 1977. In fact I beleive that I am the last May Friend Bennett Medallion Oustanding Senior Recipient. From what has happened with Bennett College, it is a shame. And it has happened and will continue to happen. Along with my classmates (any out there?), we shared a camaraderie that will never be broken, especially in the spirit. We lived then and we live now in a society that has forgotten about the historical legacies that institutions have left, particularly when it comes to property. Many institutions of higher learning that cannot "foot the bill" are in danger of ending up just like Bennett. Beleive me when they do, they too will end up in decay, while people go back and forth debating what to do with the buildings. And pictures will be taken of them and everyone will be saying the same thing... That it did not have to end up like this! Bennett College was not an eerie place, contrary to what people may have written or even think. Coming from the inner, urban city, it was a respite form the hustle and bustle of life in general.Thus, as Bennett College is demolished for prospective development, I along with others will always cherish the physical pictures and memories, because we were once part of that place. Nothing can replace that!
