Memorandum
LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY
Stanford University, Cal.
Mar. 20, 1903

Mrs. Stanford,
Dear Friend:

For the continued development of the engineering
departments we ought to have for next year -

A small building similar to the present Machine Shop, for
a laboratory for Hydraulic experiments, this building to be
located between the Machine Shop and the Power House.

The larger building now used by Civil Engineering and for
the laboratories of Entomology and Systematic Botany should be
reconstructed and equipped for the laboratories of the Depart-
ment of Civil Engineering. For the equipment of these labor-
atories about $20,000 will be necessary. For the equipment of
the Hydraulic laboratory $5,000 additional will be needed.

I do not know when you will care to consider these matters,
but this note may serve as a memorandum as to what will be need-
ed to put the work in Civil Engineering on a good basis.

Very sincerely yours,
David S. Jordan
