NOW IT'S A REALITY! . . . This is the story of a library and how it grew . . . it seems that several years ago when Bradley began to expand in every direction, students, faculty, and administration realized the growing necessity for a new and adequate library. We were coming into our own . . . the enrollment had jumped, more and more dorm space was needed . . . the teaching staff was en- larged . . . the fieldhouse assumed gigantic proportions . . . our basketball fame had spread far and wide . . . and progress was marked by a sign which read, Site of New Bradley Libraryln Archi- tectsi plans appeared in the newspaper, the undertaking f ,',g g ..,--.x was quoted at one million dollars, and finally, the ground was broken and work began . . . the skeleton was pieced together, the building took shape, and was soon completed. Completed through the united effort of students, faculty, and Peorians who gave willingly for the cause of education . . . and the result took its place as one of the most modern college libraries in the country. This could be the story of any building in the making, but to all connected with Bradley, it was a mile- stone in our growth . . . proof that what necessity demands, perseverance can provide. Natural and man-made light make it easy on the eyes. Gathering information is a pleasure. mmwm Library s audio-visual room, fully cquipp d Page 7

WE'LL REMEMBER BRADLEY When someone asks us what college we attended and what it was like, weill probably find ourselves stopping to reflect a bit before answering. If we came to Bradley from a small town, we could tell of the wonders of our freshman year . . . the large classes, new faces, rapid social pace, and even the warm weather crowda' which congregates in front of Bn l-lall. Gr if home to us had been a metropolitan city, filled with the hustle of daily living, we would speak of Brad- ley as a refreshing, down-to-earth university where friendliness and individual- ity were the keynotes . . . the warm hello', as familiar faces were seen on campus . . . the personal feeling everyone had for university athletes, and the way they showed it . . . and the willingness of student and prof alike, to take time out for relaxation and discus- sion . . . these things would be mentioned by the big city Bradleyite. But there can be no com- mon denominator for measuring what the school has meant to its graduates . . . one who poses such a question will receive as many interpreta- tions as there are students who have studied on its campus.
