In 1937, he was awarded a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies, which enabled him to do research work in France and England. At present he is one of several people working on a volume dealing with the sources of Chaucer's minor works. He has also made an investigation of Texas folklore.
Professor Braddy's special field is Chaucer and the study of the English language. He is chairman of the Chaucer Group of the Modern Language Association, and has published numerous articles and poems.

"Time Was" Is Description Of Spooner Thayer Exhibit
Classroom Is Redecorated
The department of home economics is redecorating one of its classrooms. The room will be enlarged and modernized.
"Time Was" might be a fitting epitaph for the silent old watches on display in Spooner-Thayer museum. Beneath protective glass they lie, waiting for some other hand to pick up the queerly-wrought keys and wind them once again.
Three of the thick, double-cased Iver timepieces are huddled together. "Made by John Wilder, London, 1760-1780" the inscription reads. Revolution was blowing on the wind from the West when they were first slipped into English pocketpockets, and the tramping of "Redcoats" down to the wharves may have drawn the sound of their tickling. Close by are other English "Bull's Eyes" by watchmakers Higgs and Evans of London in 1760 and Toon of Birmingham in 1775. One of the watches is deeply engraved with a Grecian scene which must have been mildly shocking even to these pre-Victorian Britons.
From Abraham Lincoln's home town, Springfield, IL., comes the case of another of the American watches but the works bear the imprint of Waltham, Mass. This watch is inscribed in Spencerian script with the name of P. L. Bartlett to all appearances has neither hands nor feet.
bumps and the mechanism may be plainly observed.
...The lids of all the watches are open, showing the faces. One, in addition, shows the face of a man. It is the watch and picture of General James McPherson, commander of the Army of Tennessee who was killed July 22, 1864, at the Battle of Atlanta.
Lid Are All Open
In the midst of all the other watches is one which seems set apart and surrounded by mystery. It is no kith nor kin. Not respectable English but a language resembling Arabic tells the name and writes the hours in a bold hand. The case is carved and worn but its story, like all the others, remains a matter of the imagination.
Free Distribution Ends
"With today's issue, free distribution of the Daily Kansan will end for this term. To military trainees the combination Kansan-Union ticket for $1.25, or the Kansan only for 75 cents is offered. The papers will be delivered.
Civilian students must call for papers at the business office of the journalism building. Each house should send a representative for the entire group.
Delivery to faculty members at campus offices will be made, as last year, under the provision that enough subscriptions are obtained to warrant a carrier. They may subscribe by calling the Kansan business office. Lee Scott, business manager said today. She warned that excessive departmental subscribing may defeat the purpose of a minimum list to guarantee delivery.
