DEVOTED TO HER DEAD.
Practically All OF Mrs. stanford's Estate

When Leland Stanford, Ex-Governor,

dcrpd what his widows attitude toward
Stanford University would be- At the
time OF his death the university bad been
open for two years 1t had 700 students
and was growing all the time 1t had been
understood that Mr.. Stanford intended
to give his whole fortune to the university
some day. but it was his plan to give as
he went along. When his will was opened

estate went to his widow. The university

was the period Of hard times. Would Mrs.
Stanford respect her husbands wishes
and stand by the university That was
the burning question with the faculty and
friends Of Stanford.
II was answered earlier than they ex-
pected While the executors were trying
TO administer the will, and while the uni.
versity was trying to stagger on with the
very little money which could be scraped
together in those times, the Government,

the estate for $4,000. 900, alleged to be due
on Central Pacific Railway bonds. This
tangle dated back to the building Of the Cen
trail Pacific 10y the Big Four Huntington,
Hopkins, Croker and Stanford
Then followed a hard period in the his

allowed Mrs. Stanford $4,000 a month for
personal expenses. II was the only money
in sight. When the university opened
in the fall of 1895, Mrs. Stanford met in
council with DR. David Starr Jordan, its
president. and her attorneys.
