Robert Bradley 2008/2009 Distinguished Alumnus

Robert Bradley was recently honored with the Department's Distinguished Scholar Award at the College of Arts and Sciences Reception. On Friday morning, he had an opportunity to visit Beth Bradburn's British Literature I class and witnessed a discussion of Chaucer's "Miller's Tale." In the picture, he is standing in front of Sprau Tower, an appropriate location considering that he was the Department's second recipient, in 1951 (!), of the prestigious George Sprau Student Award.
