Bennington can be tough. About half of the girls who enter as freshmen have dropped out, transferred, or been gently "counseled out" before graduation. For the survivors, learning can be exciting. Bennington girls have, in fact, been spotted reading poetry by flashlight while perched in a tree. Philosopher-Lawyer Bloustein, who in his own education tended toward the "interdisciplinary development that John Dewey suggested," looks forward to presiding over a school where "an individual can involve himself in two or more distinct disciplines."
