Correspondence with David Starr Jordan

Prest D S Jordan

My dear Doctor

Yours of the 30th will in regard to remuneration to Presdient White for his lectures has been received.

I telegraphed you last night approving the bill of $1000. His presence has lectures at the University will. I am sure be productive of much good to the institution. I only regret that it was not in my power to show him so social attention during his visit.

Yours Very truly

My dear Doctor

I am receipt of the list of Professors etc for which I am much obliged. Enclosed find the list approved.

I seems to me as if the number of Professors and Teachers is rather large in proportion to the students but I am entirely content to leave the matter to your judgment as long as they are all well employed.

I most heartily approve your system of selecting young men. One great advantage I find in them is that they are much

more open to new convictions than elderly men and more liable to keep up with the progress of the times.

Yours

Dear Doctor

Mrs Stanford has forwarded to me your letter to her where you mention that a Mrs Hay has entered the university in a regular way as special student in drawing but has given nearly all of her time as stenographer to Dr. Branner for which I presume she receives a salary. I most decidedly object to any such arrangement and Dr. Branner ought to know that we do not keep a boarding house for outsiders not

do we intended that our buildings shall be need for any such purpose.

I shall be glad to learn that you have given Miss Hay notice to leave.

I quite agree with you that in the future no student should be admitted to any of the halls who is not doing full University work.

Yours Very Truly

Leland Stanford
