Title: Letter from David Starr Jordan to May Wright Sewall.
Description: (On board RMS Adriatic). Your letter met me at Southampton. I will spend a few days in N.Y. before going back to California. Later I shall be in Boston about November 20 - spend a month there and in Ottawa on my International Commission. Our board of Peace trustees meet to organize November 29. While in Europe I visited some of the prominent advocates of peace. I had a charming interview with Bertha von Suttner in Vienna. David Starr Jordan (1851-1931), American naturalist, educator, university president, and peace advocate. Jordan was a professor of natural history at Northwestern Christian College (later Butler University) and chairman of the department of natural sciences at Indiana University. He became president of Indiana University in 1885, and during his tenure instituted the concept of major fields of study for students. In 1891 he accepted the post of president of Stanford University, later becoming chancellor. He wrote many books on topics in natural history and education. Jordan also became a tireless proponent of international peace, delivering lectures all around the country. In 1925 he was awarded the Raphael Herman prize of $25,000 for the best working plan to create and maintain international peace.
