RESTS BESIDE
BELOVED son
AND HUSBAND
Final Scenes Marked
by Simple Cere-
monies.
Doors of Mausoleun
Close While the
Choir Sings.

While the solemn services were being
held in the Memorial Chapel the throng
of visitors in the inner quadrangle be-
fore the stately edif1ce grew larger and
formed in two compact masses with a
center lane leading from the large dou-
bic doors to the outer quadrangle. Or.
the steps between the quadrangleS peo-
pie were standing, while three-quarters
of mile away at the mausoleum hun
dreds were gathering to obtain COM
manding positions.
AS the deeD-toned organ played the
Ave Maria the doors of the chapel were
thrown open and the great congrega-
ton inside surged out. The first in the
funeral procession from the chapel
were the students who formed in pic
turesque squads, according to their
classes, on the eastern side of the great
oval.
In the meantime the other partici-
pants in the march to the tomb came
filing from the chapel. First came the
resident graduates, the church choir,
led by Joseph Smith, and later Joined
by the organist, b. C. Blodgett and the
alumni, all of whom passed down the
living lane to their assigned places in
the funeral cortege forming on the
oval.
The gilt hands of the chapel tower
clock pointed to 8 when the faculty and
university trustees, walking at slower
pace than the preceding mourners,
moved out of the chapel. The deep
toned bell in the tower solemnly tolled
with measured clang the knell of the
universitys benefactress, as her body
left the sacred structure on it's jour-
ney to its final resting place.
THOSE IN THE CORTEGE.
No less solemn and pathetic was the
sight of the group of relatives and
friends and the retinue of domestics
of the departed. In the compact COM
pany that followed the bier came those
who had directly felt Mrs. Stanford S
kindness, constantly seen her face, and
often heard her voice. To them the
blow was bitter and binding tears at
tested their grief in the loss of one who
had long been their friend. 4
Directly behind the casket came
Charles G.. Lathrop and his wife, fol-
lowed by his daughter, Jennie Lath-
rop, on the arm of Leland LathroD Jr.
Miss Berner and Miss Hunt, escorted
by Robert Berner followed, while after
them came the servants of the Stan
ford family Among these were All
Wing and All Young from the Mob Hill
residence.
