LELAND STANFORD DAMAGED
Magnificent Buildings Suffer During
Violent Earthquake Shock.

Oakland, Cal, April 19.-Latest re-
ports from Leland Stanford Jr. univer-
sity, indicate that the magnificent
stone buildings of that institution have
suffered severe damage. Many Of the
buildings were ruined by cracks that
split them from cornice to foundation.
The loss will reach scores of thousands
Leland Stanford university, erected
by the late Senator Stanford as me-
mortal to his son, is the richest educa-
tional institution in the world, and
one of the best endowed, the will of
Mrs. Stanford giving it total Of at
least $30,0OO,0O0. The buildings are all
of buff sandstone, built in the modified
old Mission style, which is peculiar to
California, with arches and corridors
and covered passageways. The inner
quadrangle is the most beautiful spot
in the whole estate, which in all com.
prises 5000 acres. The enclosure con.
tains two and one half acres, and the
cloisters running along two sides are
600 feet in length.
Since 1902, when the litigation that
threatened the existence of the univer
sity was decided in favor Of the Stan
ford estate, more than twenty new
buildings have been erected, costing
more than $3,O0O00O. The cost of al
the buildings is more than $5,00O,000
The latest addition to the campus is 6
library with space. for 100000 vol
umes. Probably the most beautiful
building of them all, however, is thu
Stanford Memorial church, which Mrs
Stanford built shortly before her death
in memory of her husband. 1t is con
sidered the most beautiful church edi
fee in the world, the most famous Cali

Special to The Journal.
Winona, Mimi, April 19.-Secretary
Irwin Shepard of the National Educa-

turned from San Francisco, says that
notwithstanding the news Of the ter

change is contemplated in the plans for
holding the next convention of the Ma

city in July.
When asked as to whether he thought
fear Of a repetition of the earthquake
experience would deter any persons
from attending convention in San
Francisco, he said he did not consider
this likely, and that he thought there
would not be the slightest danger to
any person in going to San Francisco.
