David Starr Jordan has resigned the
Presidency of the Leland Stanford Orr
University. The resignation is said to
have been made to Senator Stanford
nereonally and supplemented by a
written communication, which the
founder of the institution has accepted.
n Is understood that at the end of the
scholastic year President Jordan's con-
nection with the college will cease. The
reason given for the resignation is that
Senator Stanford has for some time been
rather dissatisfied with the manner in
which Jordan has managed the univer-
sitv affairs. When he returned from
abroad six weeks ago he summoned the
President to a conference at his Palo
Alto residence. He indicated the
changes he desired, but Jordan resented
the Senatorial interference with the
ultimate result as stated.
