il- ' POLYSCOPE lil Hill Top So great is its majestic inspiration No verse or art or symbol could condense The spell of its titanic influence Nor mimic it with pseudofrecreation. The boundless soul, so smitten to elation, Alone absorbs such vast magnificenceg Because it, too, is noble, vast, immense, It can embrace a relative creation. Behold! the evening's masterpiece is hung In the great gallery of heaven: the gold Enameled pendulum of time has swung Into a drift of clouds, whose depths unfold A miracle, where patterns play among A glorious maze of shadows manifold. -john Howard Nutt. 1931 fPage 91

PULYSCOPE fPage 101 HERE is a Chinese proverb that says one picture is worth ten thousand words. Count the pictures in this book and you will discover that you have the Worldls largest encyclopedia. But it ditfers from the usual encyclof pedia in one important respect. Those publications deal largely with the pastg they describe things that have been accomplished. The pictures in this book present people and things as they are, but since they deal largely with youth they give only a hint of what is to come. As the years settle down around each character pictorially pref sented in this volume, we will often turn to the Polyscope of 1931, not only to recall the college days at Bradley during 192980, but also to read into the faces that look out at us from its pages the development, the accomplish' ment, the achievement of our associates of that year. Eager as we are to get the Polyscope as soon as it is printed, we shall prize it the more as time goes on because of what it portrays, recalls, and prophesies. There is no other publication like the Polyscope of 1931. FREDERIC R. HAMILTON, President. 41931
