POLYSCOPEIZIIIIII rar .ff DR. CHARLES TRUMAN WYCKOFF Dean of the College CC RADLEY CGLLEGE without Dr. Wyckiitf would not he Bradley. Enthusiastic, schol' arly, loved, and respected by all who know him, Dr. Wyckcnif has kept pace with Bradley since its found- ing thirtyfthree years ago. No one person or factor has aided the growth of Bradley from a small manual training academy to a college of highest rank as has Dr. Wycklitf. 1931 fPage 131 L.

Town and Gown N the medieval period, when universities and colleges were beginning to take root and grow, there were no endowments with which to provide a beautiful campus with buildings and equipment. A single teacher gathered a few students about him, perhaps in the open or in a bare room, without furnishings beyond a little straw on which to sit. Gradually the numbers increased and the question of food and lodging became serious. This led students and teachers to organize and to move to a new location if their needs were not met by the townspeople. Hence frequent clashes arose between town and gown. Today it is not easy to move a college. Furthermore, college and town have found that they have many interests in common which are promoted by cooperation rather than by conflict. SOME OF THE REASONS WHY Peoria Needs Bradley Bradley Needs Peoria At Bradley, as at most other colleges, the Bradley is Peoria's most effective advertis' cost of education is far in excess of the tuif ing medium. This year students have come from fortyfone states and three foreign counf tries, A5 teachers. Bradley graduates are widely scattered. and spread the name and fame of Peoria. Bradley brings to Peoria the prestige of her educational position, gives important aid in social service work, and is a fundamental factor in the development of the cultural and intellectual life of the city. Bradley is Peoria's largest industry, provid' ing an annual income to business conserva- tively estimated in excess of one million doif lars. This sum would be expended elsewhere if it were not for the College. Thousands of dollars are saved annually to the business interests and parents of Peoria, because their young men and women may attend Bradley instead of having to seek edu' cation in other cities. Out of an enrollment of some 2000 students, 950 came from Peoria this year. tion and fees paid by the student. This cost includes building replacement. new equip' ment and repairs. as well as the normal an' nual educational costs. The difference be' tween tuition and fees and the total cost of the students' education must be met by inf come from endowments. The principal sum can be diminished without imperiling the en' tire educational foundation. Hence. it be' comes necessary to make appeals from time to time for additional endowment. In such crises the citizens of Peoria have responded generously. A sustaining fund was raised in 1920 to afford temporary support for a fourfyear college program. Later, a substantial addition to the permanent endow- ment was made and recently, through similar gifts, a new dormitory for college women at Bradley has become possible. For this cordial support, and for hearty cofoperation in many other ways, the college is deeply grateful. In union there is strengthf' CHARLES TRUMAN WYCKOFF. 1931 fPage 121
