Time for another fun fact about Bennington’s history with Riley and Victoria! Fact #2: “In the 1950s a film, depicting educational life at Bennington College, was made by the State Department to show to schools in Europe, particularly Germany, that a different educational approach existed and worked. A quote from the Bennington College Alumnae Quarterly from the spring of 1953 reads, “The State Department…wanted to tell Germany and the rest of the world something about a system of education which not only gave knowledge and facts but something else to its students, gave them strength and ability to face their problems themselves and a realization that they could have an active voice in governing themselves.” -Victoria The cartoon is drawings and descriptions of the movie they made. -Riley
