MRS. STANFORD'S LIMIT.
She Does Not Want Over 500 Women
Mt Palo Alto University.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Mrs. Jane
Stanford widow of Senator Stanford has
given her reasons for wishing to restrict
the woman membership of Stanford Uni
versity to five hundred. She fixed this max
mum number in her address to the trus-
tees of the university last week on the &C.
casion of her donation of SIC, 600 worth of
property for it's uses. In the academic year
just closed there were enrolled at the uni
versity $50 women students out Of a total
of LOO Senator Stanford's own idea was
a university for men.
II am not an opponent OF coeducation,"
said Mrs Stanford in the interview here.
Il believe in the higher education OF both
women and men. 1 can readily understand
why women are attracted to Stanford. The
surroundings and atmosphere are whole
some and charming. / also believe that the
presence of women at Stanford or any other
university is of great moral good. The ques-
ticn of coeducation at Stanford has caused
me much anxious thought and worry. Many
times j have prayed &c God for guidance.
The university was founded in memory of
our lamented son. Ny husband and /
wanted 1t to be a model institution for the
higher education of young men. The great
est pleasure i have in existence is TO do my
humble part in carrying out my husbands
intentions in this particular.
During the year just closed at the uni
versity there were $50 women students-al-
most half of the total attendance. / became
alarmed L saw young women from all over
the country at Palo Alto. did not wish to
say them nay. / admired their ambition,
their character. and the great influence for
good of their presence at the university.
But a line had TO be drawn somewhere 10
prevent the possibility should say the
probability-of the character of the institu-
ton being changed from what was original
ly intended.
why did I fix the number of female stu
dents at FIVE hundred? II was an arbitrary
act in the sense that ] want the percentage
OF male students to increase greatly during
the next five six years. The university,
TO be consistent with the idea which led TO
it's establishment, must be place for men,"
But suppose that during the next ten or
fifteen years the number of male students
reaches seven thousand or eight thousand.
would you not be willing 10 increase the
number of women students?" was asked.
NO she replied. Even i the male
students number ten thousand or dfteen
thousand the number of women attendants
must never exceed five hundred Probably
President Jordan and the members OF his
faculty may not agree with me In this re-
spect. But my conscience tells me am
right The university must. above every
thing else. be for men and II cannot have

years ago, as hereditary chief OF the Mos

over about ten thousand subjects. Mica

by strength on the ocean and not on the
land. There is no reason why the United
States should ever become a great military
rower except in the sense of ability 10 raise
and equip large volunteer armies. but there
are very strong reasons why II should be-
come great naval power. AS Admiral
Sampson says. no power except England
has the means OF approaching or attacking
Us on land. and no other power Is less likely
to attack Thanks TO our comparatively
isolated position and our great military re-
sources we are abundantly strong on land.
The sea is our fighting ground. THE pos

miral Sampson. ARE naval wars. and. to
wage them successfully we need more ships.
To safeguard our interests. TO main
tain our position. TO speak with the author
ity that becomes us. we need ships, and
still more ships" This is not merely the
talk of a man who is disposed to magnify
bis profession in the eyes of others; IL is
the teaching of plain logic based on cold
facts. Admiral Sampson has shown that he
is something more than an accomplished
naval officer learned in his profession and
skilled In the maneuvering of ships. From
the vantage point of our recent naval vic
tories and new position he sweeps the hori-
zon of our future interests. political and
commercial as well as territorial, and sees
that IL the Nation is to fulfill its destiny
it must become as great on the sea as it al
ready is on land. and must maintain &C
cording to the worlds standard the position
