DLEY P. I. l 5 E P 5 5 i l 1 Polyscope! VVhat is its origin and meaning? Does it have any special significance for the Bradley group, students, alumni, faculty? It is a coined word. You will not find it in the dictionary. lt comes from the Greek poly Qmanyj and skopos fmark, aim-and by derivation-range or extent of view, amplitude of opportunityj. When the establishment of a college annual was under consideration, Dr. Theo- dore C. Burgess, head of the department of ancient language, and for many years the able and be- loved president of the college, coined a word to be used as a title for? the new publication. It suggests first, that a greater variety of educational opportunities can be found at Bradley than at most other colleges of its class, and second, that those who go out from Bradley should at- tain a many sided development with numerous points of contact, capable of finding varied interests, and of bringing life to higher levels for themselves and for others. C. T. WYCKOFF, Dean of the College.
