STANFORD YARNS
TO Be REPRINTED.

Thirteen years ago Charles II. Field
and Will Irwin wrote book of tales
of their college which they bound in
cardinal and called stanford Stories"
That was the work of their prentice
hands.
Now these two writer's have become
regular journeymen authors, Mr..
Field being an editor and Mr.. Irwin
being the biographer of reformed
train robbers and unreformed spirit
mediums, and a most successful nov
elist and story writer But they are
not ashamed Of their prentice work
and have permitted tie English club
of Stanford university to reprint the
collection of short stories. which has
been done. and they are now pub
lished still in cardinal binding. by
A. N. Robertson, and will sell for
$3.50.
Ii is not the usual thing for a book
of college stories to be reprinted, but
the Field-Irwin book is too good a
California story book to be permitted
to go out of print.
The stories deal with the early days
of Stanford university and with the
students that gathered there 10 years
or more ago. But the spirit of college
students does not change In decade
and a half. and so the tales are real,
live college stories.
From the farcical comedy of "A
Midwinter Madness" the opening yarn
of the book, through "Bannister's
Scoop a story which proved in a
peculiarly forcefui way the loyalty
which college boy will have for his
alma mater and the struggles he will
face for her bright name, on to the
brave tale at the end. .'One Commence
ment," which is the story of the de-
parture of the Stanford students who
enlisted in the Spanish war. the Is
stories in the book are filled with
college spirit and With pictures of
the picturesque of college.
The book is illustrated with photo
graphs of Stanford university and its
environment. which will make it
doubly interesting to all who hold
Stanford university close to their
hearts or their lives.

Il feel that Governor Johnson de-

At the same time gossip emanat-
