WHAT IS A UNIVERSITY? A university is a riddle whose answer is a question. It is the naive first wonderings of the freshman and the imponderable What is Truth? of Pilate and the philosophy instructor. The clash of answers and the frequency of them gauge its quality. It is the home of fact and the refuge of opinion. It is an answer in itself to the where of the good life. A university is a multi- versity. It is a city of contrasts. It is the gayest place . . . and the loneliest. For some, it provides the best time. For others, the time is neither wrong nor right. Joy, tension, success, and frustration are part of the usual day. Pressed tightly in a mosaic of mankind are the radical and the reactionary, the past and the future, the colored and the white, the wealthy and the poor. It welcomes equally the band leader and the poet. It houses water fights and great debates, beer parties and stoic philoso- phy, scoundrels and saints. A university is a stone mask cover- ing warm faces. It is the people who make it up. It is the fac- ulty as well as the students, the janitor as well as the dean. It is the place where people mean more because they are more. As these change, it too changes. A university's past is memory, its future is obscure. Only the present is definitive and can reveal what a university is . . . 2

g il ,EERE 1 A MELANGE OF ARCHITECTUAL Bradley University is a mongrel born of many moodsg it is a growing, living thing. A walk around the campus on its sometimes Macadam, sometimes concrete sidewalks soon reveals a unique blending of stony ids. These are the ele- ments of her architectural personality: The young, the fresh and vibrant . . . Wyckoff Hall, a shiny new men,s dormitory stands clean, proud, and confident. While, on the south cam- pus, the old and slump-shouldered countenance of Siepert Hall turns its tired back on the main streams of University life . . . reminiscing of times gone by. vfqsw 'n BORN OF DIRE NECILSSITY, the unconstrained benevolence of Murray M. Baker, and the quiet assurance of Harold Potter Rhodes, Baker Hall sprang full-armored from the ashes and rubble of Alumni Hall to become the unassuming haunt of Bradley's business majors.
