Doctor Wyckoff came to Bradley when thc College was found- ed three decades ago, and decided then to make teaching at Brad- ley his life work. In this he has succeeded well with the result that his name is engraved on every page of Bradley's history. His courses are unique, for he is not merely an encyclopedia of historical dates, but a Widely traveled gentleman and a zealous student of human nature. Students marvel at his enthusiastic and scholarly investigation into the important issues of the dayg and they consider his classroom discourses on such questions of utmost interest. His pleasant personality has gained for him a permanent place in the hearts of his students, for they realize they have in him a true friend, a sympathetic listener to all their troubles and woes, as well as an ardent co-partner in their activ- ities.

On the sixteenth of January, 1908, her long, useful life came to an honored and peaceful close. For ten years she had been permitted to see her cherished dream realized, not only in red-tiled, grey stone buildings, but in the faculty and student group which gathered there. During this period every Founder's Day and Con- vocation was graced by her presence. On October eighth, 1907, she entered Bradley Hall for the last time. Mrs. Bradley was a woman of many virtues. She loved her garden, with its old fashioned flowers, and her home. She was frugal, yet gave to the Institute with lavish hand. Though advanced in years she did not lose contact with the present. She was a shrewd business woman. Her judgment regarding politics, religion and social questions was remarkably sane and well-balanced. Modest and unostentatious herself, she detected and abhorred shams. Her great wealth had no power to disturb the even 'tenor of her principles and conduct, nor did honor and applause ever for a moment turn her head, through all she kept the perfect balance of mind and life. She might well feel that for her the prayer of the Psalmist had been richly granted, and that the Lord had established the work of her hands. CHARLES TRUMAN WYCKOFF. if l r
