Memorials, 1905

the sons of man, a better shaping to the changes of ever higher Truth, which go to the making of an immortal consciousness.

Whether it be in an engineer's more efficient stroke, in the discoveries of the laboratory, in field or book, what we prize is our God in union here.

Her Chapel placed at the University's heart shall send a call higher and deeper in the Land than arch or Smoke Stack, the call to work and so in accord with the All Intelligence who is more zealous for growth in Art and finance, for variation in plants and forms of Humanity than we her students can be.

Yours Sincerely Mr. R. Camp

Dr. David Starr Jordan Stanford University, Cal. Dear Dr. Jordan:

Noting contents of your favor of March 2nd, I suppose all plans for any Alumni dinner at this time have been declared off.

I am not sure that you know of it, but I am somewhat associated with the "Sunset" Magazine, partly through friendship for its editor,and partly through the pleasure I take in doing a little of that sort of work and riding free on the railroad. I wish very much that I might have in the April number of the magazine, which goes to press next week, a good photograph of Mrs. Stanford and a little tribute to her of from 500 to 1000 words, preferably from you.

ack'd and sent tribute prepared for Assoc Press

With best wishes Cordially yours, Joseph Swain

My dear Dr Jordan

Wholly in a personal sense I beg to express my sense of grief and consternation at the unexpected and untimely demise of Mrs Stanford. You know better than any one what the university has lost, but also that her work will go on uninterruptedly. Hence that is not our greatest loss. The serious character of our bereavement is the loss of a [fine, kind ?] woman, a dear friend, and the severance of ties of affection that cannot be contracted again in the same manner and under the same conditions. It is this that makes such losses irreparable. Will you kindly present then my sentiments to Mr. Lathrop, and I respectfully ask that I may be notified of the time of the dear lady's obsequies, that I may attend both as a member of the Faculty and as a representation of my own people, who loved and venerated Mrs. Stanford.

very sincerely yours, Jacob Voorsanger

My Dear Pres. Jordan:

Your letter of November 14th has been returned to me from the Philpines, containing two accounts against young Quiogue and I have sent the same of my correspondent in Manila and have requested him to endeavor to collect the same and remit the money. On hearing from him I will communicate with you.

I am very deeply grieved at the death of Mrs. Stanford, and hope that the unfortunate rumors afloat will be found to be unfounded. I hope you will have a safe return from the trip you are now taking to Honolulu. Within a very short time I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you.

Very sincerely, Aylett R. Cotton, Jr.
