THE BRADLEYS, x'08, x'10, '34,

   Assorted Educators and Crea-
   tive Artists, Madison, Pasa-

   cisco.
   THE BRADLEY F A M I L Y
 (see Faculty Profile, too) is big,
 happy, healthy, wealthy, wise,
 and distinctly Badger.
   It had its origins back at the
turn of the century when Mary
Josephine Crane, x'08, an attrac-
tive and athletically-inclined coed,
fell in love, quit the UW      in her
junior year, and married one
of her handsome, athletically-
inclined teachers. Dr. and Mrs.
Harold C. Bradley have lived in
varying degrees of contentment
ever since.
   Seven reasons for this are the
Bradley boys (count them),
Charles, '35, Harold, '37, David,
x'45, Stephen, Joseph, '41, Richard, x'47,
and William, '49. All are married and
five of the seven wives are Badgers.
  Those features, however, which have
led many people to call the Bradley-
Crane alliance "a perfect marriage"
didn't just happen. They were wrested
from the shadows of possible tragedy
by sheer strength of will, for Mrs.
Bradley has been completely deaf since
the age of two.
  At an early age she learned, through
painful study and practice, to lip-read.
She has pled for its instruction in
schools for the deaf and has demon-
strated the art before the Illinois legis-
lature and other government bodies.
  Mrs. Bradley was recently honored
by the University League in Madison
for "the career she has chosen-
motherhood." The tribute was paid her
by Mrs. Edwin B. Fred, honorary presi-
dent of the League and first lady of
the University. She commended Mrs.
Bradley for having taught each of her
seven sons in turn to read and write,
draw, swim, sail, skate, ski, row a boat,
handle a canoe, and drive a car.
  The Bradley's only daughter, Mary
Cornelia, died of meningitis at the age
of seven. In her memory there stands
in Madison today a living monument,
the Bradley Memorial Hospital, en-
dowed by Dr. Bradley and a few
friends and built in 1920 for the main
purpose of furthering    research  on
children's diseases.
  During both world wars, Mrs. Brad-
ley was active in Red Cross and relief
organizations. And in 1910 she stumped
southern Wisconsin for the cause of
women's suffrage---"mainly for a lark,"
she confesses.
  The Bradleys have raised their boys
on the premise that each should be
independent and self-reliant. As each
one finished high school, he was given
