Excerpt from Polyscope, 1907

Was there ever a birthday gift so well suited to the wants and wishes of the recipient as this one? How much we have always longed for just this thing, and how many schools fortunate enough to possess a gym we have secretly envied! And now, in steps our fairy godmother, devines our wish, and grants it beyond our wildest dreams!

Best of all, the promise of the gymnasium was a complete surprise to every one. When Mr. O. J. Bailey made the announcement to us assembled for the Founder's Day exercises, even the Faculty heard the plan for the first time, and Mr. Bailey himself had known of it for only a few minutes, for Mrs. Bradley kept her secret until shortly before coming into the Chapel.

Not only to the athletic activities of Bradley will the gymnasium be an unlimited benefit, but also to our social life. We shall be brought into closer fellowship with each other through the common pleasures it will afford. And for club or class parties, how good it will be to have some place that we can call our own and not be obliged to depend on some hospitable member's kindness, or resort to a rented hall! Moreover, that dreadful ghost, the Spirit of the Class room, which sometimes haunts club meetings held in recitation rooms, will never dare to intrude upon us when we meet in the gym.
