from President Bailey. The exercises occurred in the morning and the address was by Hon. Christian C. Kohlsaat of Chicago. Un Founder's Day, October 8, 1898, Prof. C. T. Chamberlain of Chicago was the orator. Dr. Harper delivered an address and Mrs. Bradley occupied her place of honor. The orchestral pipe-organ, given by Mrs. Bradley and placed in the audi- torium of Bradley Hall was played for the first time at chapel exercise Nov- ember I6, 1898, Mrs. Henry Velde presiding. On May I7, 1899, Mrs. Bradley conveyed to the Institute all her real estate wherever situated Qsaving only her homesteadj, subjected to her life use and management, such estate comprising much of the best improved and unimproved property of Peoria, and the best farm lands in this and surrounding counties. A conservative estimate of Mrs. Bradley's endowment is ,g2,000,000, but in the natural improvement of city and country, the values placed should be largely increased. But wonderfully enriched is such endowment by the life and presence of Mrs. Bradley. May she yet witness many years of the unfold- ing and development of the life of Bradley Polytechnic Institute. Many important gifts have been made to the Institute and publicly ac- knowledged , the most important of these, perhaps, was the collection of the Scientific Association of Peoria, presented june 23, 1899. But these gifts are not regarded with the presentation of the bust of Mrs. Bradley by the citizens of Peoria, as an expression to the founder, of the appreciation of her great and noble work in behalf of Peoria and the cause of education. The bust was given a prominent place in Bradely Hall, as a work of art by the noted sculptor, Mr. Fritz Triebel, and should endure through all generations, to perpetuate before the world the face of this noble woman.
