Editing Bard College at Simon's Rock (section)

==Name==
[[File:Simon's Rock, the Rock.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Simon's Rock]]
The name "Simon's Rock" comes from a large rock, a [[glacial erratic]], in the woods on the campus, a short walk from the main part of the campus. At the time that Simon's Rock earned its name (in the early 1920s), the woods that now surround it were part of the vast area of land called Great Pine Farm. The rock was a favorite spot for people who lived nearby, especially children. One neighborhood child, a little girl named Simon, claimed the rock as her own. Throughout its short history, the college has gone through names such as Simon's Rock, '''Simon's Rock Early College''', '''Simon's Rock of Bard College''' for a period after 1979, when it was acquired by [[Bard College]] and '''Simon's Rock College of Bard'''. In August 2007, it changed to its current name.<ref name=name>{{cite news
