come a finished expert in thrust and
parry i'll parliamentary tactics.
At the Fourteenth Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Mrs. Mclean was
Regent of the New York Chapter, she
assisted in introducing a resolution
looking to the burial of Paul Jones in
Annapolis, Md, that being her native
State. Besides having a local pride,
she thought the first naval hero of the
nation should be buried near to the
great naval school.
There was tremendous opposition to
the proposition, and the congress voted
to LAY the resolution on the table, an
expression used in parliamentary pro-
ceedings to defer action on the subject.
Later it was taken up, but the congress
voted against taking the body of the
naval hero to Annapolis and favored
bringing it to Washington for burial in
Arlington. Mrs. Mclean has now. how
ever, seen one of her dearest wishes
carried out, and, as head of one of the
greatest societies of patriotic women
in the world, she was a guest of honor
at the recent burial ceremonies of Ad-
miral Paul Jones at Annapolis.

Judges Lynn and Beattle, two OF those
twelve Judges known as The we've

who is not unworthy of the illustrlous
example of fearlessness of spirit set by
them. Lieut.. James Lakeland was also
an ancestor of Mrs. Mclean, as was
also Deputy Governor Burgess, OF
colonial Maryland history.
Mrs. Mclean was educated at what
was at the time known as the Woman 5

of fourteen, receiving a diploma Whlch

~IRREPARABLE ART LOSS.

The main buildings are built around
IN inner quadrangle, which contains
the offices of administration and some
class rooms. These buildings are all
one story in height. The outer quad
rangle. which comprises the principal
architectural features of the univer-
sity, has as main points of interest
the memorial arch, with its wonderful
frieze. by st. Gaudens, representing
the progress of civilization in America,
and directly opposite this, through the
inner quadrangle, the Stanford Memo
rial Church, with its mosaic front de-
pieting the Sermon on the Mount"
This building cost, in construction
alone, 81 ,000, 900, exclusive of the mo-
sales and carvings inside and out, and
its marble statues and art treasures
from Europe.
Perhaps it may be said that the loss
of the buildings and equipment, IN
spite of their great value, is the least
part of the disaster, because since the
university was started on Senator
Stanford's Palo Alto ranch 1t has been
a marvellous incentive toward higher
education on the Pacific coast. Not
only has it gone ahead with great
strides on its own account, but it has
carried the State University at Berke-
ley along with it in healthy rivalry,
until the two gave an equipment for
higher education in California that was
not rivaled by that of any other State.
MRS. STANFO..D'S GENEROSITY.
If it we're not for the indomitable
spirit which seems to have enabled the
university to triumph over many dlf1-
cultieS it might be said that its career
has been particularly ill-starred. Fol
in spite of its great endowment, said
to exceed that of any other institution
of learning in the country, 1t has been
unfortunate from the beginning. Vex-
atious litigation arose at the time OF
Senator Stanford S death, in 1894, II
the claims put forward by those who
had received personal requests, to have
them settled first, seriously impaired
the finances of the university because
it was impossible to realize upon its
property. After that the Pacific rail
road suits tied up the university money
for a couple of years, until the Su-
preme Court decided in favor of the
Stanford estate. But Mrs. Stanford,
with wonderful courage and singleness
of purpose, unselfshly turned all of her
property over to the university, saw
it through its crises until her recent
tragic death in Honolulu. when the
Leland Stanford University was again
thrown in despair. Its present de-
struction by the earthquake seems to
come as a eliminating disaster, yet 1t
is probable that it will rise again SUI
perior to the conditions which seem
in league against it, though it has
practically been set back to an abso-
lutely new beginning.
1t is already understood that plans
have been considered for the rebuild
ing of the university, as the statement
has been made by President David
Starr Jordan to the students of the
university, asking them to remain and

To her husband, Senator Stanford,
she said: 1T was his wish and desire
that INDECENT young men should have
an equal advantage in obtai ing educa-
ton. For his sake let us erect a uni
versity where all shall have an equal

and Mrs. Stanford devoted their entire
energies toward planning the Leland

Honor at Ceremony.

When the annual convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
was in session in Washington a few
weeks ago the meetings were presided
over by Mrs. Donald Mclean. She en-
ioyed the unique distinction of being
the first presiding officer of the con
gress who was not the wife of some
man prominent in official circles. She
had been a candidate for this high
woman's office for several years, and
the opposition to her election was
plainly stated because she could not
bring to the office high national
prestige, which the Daughters of the
American Revolution felt was neces-
sary to the varied traditions of the So
cietY.

ALMOST COMPLETE DESTRUje

Built in Spanish Architecture and
Cost of Buildings Alone was Thirty
Million Dollars-Mill Probably be
Rebuilt.

One of the NOSE serious results of
the Pacific coast earthquake disaster
is the destruction of Stanford Univer-
sity, near Palo Alto. More than $780,
09O, 900 had been expended OF the
buildings alone, and the damage has
been so severe that it will mean prac-
tically an entire loss. This group OF
buildings was planned and built on a
prearranged scheme and has been ae-
counted the finest group of structures
for educational purposes on this con
tinent, if not in the entire world. The
buildings were all in the picturesque
Spanish mission style, with the arch as
tta principal architectural feature. This
fact, which was so much n source of
beauty, has probably been the largest
source of destruction, because, while
the arch undisturbed is n of the most
secure of building forms, when thrown
out of plumb it must fall.

the young nan or woman is likely to
look upon department service as a
beautiful life of DO Little and Draw
Your Pay and watch the passing
show. But it has its seamy side and
carries both advantages and d~isadvan-
tages in its train.
There is the danger of fossilization;
of becoming u leaf in the sere; with
energies gone and aspiration dead.
This danger is great and seems almost
inevitable to him who has many years
of service in the departments. Though
all will not agree with the Hon. Champ
Clark in a recent article in the Satur-
day Evening Post when he says over
the doorways of the Departments
should be inscribed in letters so large
that he who runs may read:
"All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter
Here"
Yet to the young man and woman
who would keep the fires of their am
bition burning, government service
should be entered only as a stepping
stone to a more strenuous life of
higher and better things.
