Board and lodging in the admirably APP

figure that is almost below the expense
of staying at home. Young women as
well as young men are admitted to the
Leland Stanford, Jr., university, and
upon the same terms in all respects.
Alphabetically the university's build
ings are quite unlike those of any other
similar institution. With what now
seems to have been hardly less than in
spiratiOn Senator Stanford determined
to preserve the form of the old Spanish
adobe mission buildings in those of his
pet university. The buildings, of one
and two stories chiefly, cover a great
deal of ground, and are arranged in the
form of a quadrangle, surrounded on
both the inside and the outside thereof
with long and graceful colonnades The
walls of the building are Of buff, rough
faced sandstone and the roofs of red
tile. Over all the exquisite sky of Cali
fOrnia extends like vast cerulean dome
and the red, the buff, the azure and the
1uxuriant green of Californian vegeta-
ton combine to make a picture of I'M
matched beauty. The university is built
upon the famous Palo Alto stock farm,
located about 80 miles from San Fran
cisco. This farm consists of s, 900 acres
of plain ard valley, and, together with
some 80, 900 acres located elsewhere in
the state, forms large portion of the
total endowment of the institution.
Mrs. Stanford is tall, stately and DOS
sessed of great dignity of manner, al
though at the same time her bearing is
peculiarly gentle and sympathetic. She
dresses quietly, although her gowns are
| of costly texture, and in spite of her
many social successes she prefers quiet
life. She has given very freely to the
cause of charity and philanthropy in
addition to what she has done for the
Stanford university. among her impor-

endowment of a childrens hospital and
another 500, 900 for the erection of its

of one of those phenOmenally successful
men of the Pacific slope, who, by dint
of daring, persistence and the genius of
organization, have made the nineteenth
century last half notable because Of its
rapidly self created millionaires. From
this time on she will be known to all
the world as a woman of rare public
spirit and of unusual devotion to the
task of carrying out her dead husbands
wish that since he could not leave his
fortune to a son it should be the means
of furnishing many young men with
facilities for the acquisition of the
higher learning.
Mrs. Stanford is Sc years old. She
was born in Albany, and her maiden
name was Jane Lathrop. While still
but young girl and living with her
parents, who were we'll to do, she met
Leland Stanford. He was then practic-
d ing law at Fort Washington, Wis, and
after their marriage the young couple
went to that place to live. Their resi-
dence there was but brief one, how
ever, being cut short by a disastrous
fire. After this fire Mr.. Stanford deter
mined to begin anew upon the Pacific
coast, and leaving his bride started on
the journey overland to his new field.
It was three long years before she
went to him, and they began housekeep-
ing at Sacramento in a simple wooden
dwelling, Mrs. Stanford s only assistant
being one woman servant. Leland Stan
ford s career as money getter has been
recited too many times to need rehears-
al here. With variations it was like the
career of many another who wrenched
fortune from seemingly the most adj
verse circu1n stances in the early days of
California. But in one respect there was
dissimilarity between the career of Stan
ford and those of most others, for along
with his money he won political prefer
ment, and in 1861 his fellow Califor-
mans elected him governor of the state.
Mrs. Stanford before this had been Of
great help to her energetic, ambitious
husband in many ways. Now there came
to her the opportunity to help him even
more than she had ever previously been
able to. AS wife of the chief executive
of the new commonwealth it was her
| place and privilege to take a foremost
part in fsociety." Although she had
never before posed as a social magnet,
she at once proved herself abundantly
equal to the situation, and there is no
doubt whatever that her gracious cour-
tesy and unfailing tact during STAN
ford's service as governor of California
had much to do with his continued pop
ularity there and his later success in
national politics.
In place of the little wooden house
where they first lived they now occupied
a more pretentious home. over which
Mrs. Stanford presided with the ease
