Gallery Owner, Alumnus Join Bard Board The head of a renowned art gallery and an alumnus who is a human rights scholar have been elected to Bard’s Board of Trustees. Roland J. Augustine is co-owner of Luhring Augustine Gallery, which he and Lawrence Luhring founded in Manhattan in 1985. The gallery represents an international group of contemporary artists whose work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, video, and photography. Augustine is also president of Printed Matter, Inc., the leading U.S. distributor of artists’ publications. He will continue in his capacity as cochair of the Advisory Council of the Center for Curatorial Studies. Augustine lives in Pine Plains, New York, and holds a B.S. in business administration from Georgetown University. Peter H. Maguire ’88 is the author of Facing Death in Cambodia, to be published by Columbia University Press (see Books by Bardians), and Law and War: An American Story (2001). Each book is the result of 10 years of research and writing. For Facing Death, Maguire worked from 1994 to 2003, often on-site in Phnom Penh, with various organizations recovering documentary evidence of Khmer Rouge war crimes. In the Fall 2001 Bardian, Thomas Keenan (director of the Human Rights Project and associate professor of comparative literature at Bard) described Law and War as “a pioneering account of the international and U.S. war crimes trials in Nuremberg after World War II.” Maguire lives in New York City and Hawaii. He earned three degrees from Columbia University: a master of arts and a Ph.D. in American history and a master of philosophy. At Bard he received the Marc Bloch Prize for the best Senior Project in the Historical Studies Program and the Reamer Kline Award, given to students who “best perpetuate the high ideals, devotion, and energetic involvement in the life and work of the College exemplified by Dr. Kline during his 14 years as president of Bard.” Maguire returned to Bard in 1996 to teach Military History: The Law and Theory of War, and in 1998 to organize and participate in the conference “Accounting for Atrocities.” With the addition of Augustine and Maguire, the Bard Board of Trustees consists of 32 members, who are listed on the inside back page of this publication.
