A need to lead
When Lydia Moss Bradley, a visionary leader in business and philanthropy, founded Bradley in 1897, she sought to create an institution where students would learn to become productive members of society. The school she envisioned would “teach its students the means of living independent, industrious, and useful lives.” Education, according to Mrs. Bradley, was not solely for white men, but should be available equally for women, African-Americans, and other underserved groups. Today, her legacy of leadership and service lives on throughout campus and across the globe.
