Father Bradley Father John Bradley plays well the role of peacemaker, coordinator, and negotiator for the college. In his se- cond year as President, Father Bradley has unveiled and unravelled several programs to ensure the continuing success of the institution. Hurdling necessary cutbacks, he has used the past as a yardstick for the future. The staunch determination to keep the doors of this college open is perhaps a reflection of his Scottish heritage. This might also be in the mixture of wit and logic which pro- duces a comfortable but productive atmosphere. However, the qualities which best I befit a president of any institution are those which Father Bradley is most noted for: the ability to get to the nuts and bolts of a situation, and to take a stand when necessary. No one is more competent to fill his position at this college than Father John Brad- ley.
