What affiliation is there between Simons Rock and Bard?
Simon’s Rock may be considered a “satellite” of Bard. This means that someday in the future, a comet will strike Simon’s Rock and send it careening into Bard, covering Bard with a cloud of radioactive dust. Alternately, Simon’s Rock may be considered a “colony” of Bard. This means that Leon Botstein shows up once a year to speak in Latin; in good years he’ll also comment on the curious habits of the colonists.
