Stanford University. Cal. Jan. "a
Ray Lyman Wilbur, a. NJ. VI. D., native
of Boone, Iowa, was installed Satur-
day as president OF Leland Stanford
University in a ceremony perhaps un-
equalled for simplicity in an institu-
ton of similar grade. He succeeds DR..
John Casper Branner, who relinquished
the presidency Dec. Z, 1918. DR.. David
Starr Jordan, first president OF the
university, who preceded DR.. Branner,
is now chancellor DR.. Wilbur is 40
years old and was one of the first stu
dents at Stanford, which is said 10
have the second largest endowment OF
any institution OF learning in Amer
lea.
Flowers banners, colors robes and
gowns and the ceremonial features
frequently accompanying them in edu-
catiOnal events, were almost wholly
wanting, in Difference to DR.. Wilbur's
known disapproval of anything tend
ing to make education undemoCrat!C.
or to carry that impression. The tiled
roofs and low red sandstone wall of
the university buildings were undec-
grated and participants in the cere-
monies. for the most part, wore bust
ness suits.
Addresses Students First.
Another precedent was upset when
DR. Wilbur announced that he pre-
ferred TO appear first of all before the
student body, and did so. sweeping
aside suggestions from those who felt
It more fitting that his inauguration
begin with an address to trustees, fac
ulty ana alumni
The inaugural address was given in
the Memorial chapel, the restoration of
which, following the earthquake of
1905, has just been completed. 1t was
short, and outlined the purpose and
policies of the new president who has
expressed himself in favor of high
standards of scholarship, rather than
any great increase n the student
body.
Radical Changes Suggested.
Scorn Of more book learning" un-
related to life; an appeal for simplicity
and against snobbishness, and an out
line of his views on what Leland Stan
for, Jr., University should be, were
features Of the address of DR.. Wilbur
Among the projects which he pro-
posed, and which We're considered by
alumni to constitute issues of large
importance were:
Limitation Of the number of stu
dents.
Reduction Of the amount of ele-
mentary work offered
Wedding out dead timber In faculty
and student body. $500. ~
Reimbursement Of the jor depart
ment system to make 1t elastic.
Leadership In the larger things of
the worlds life for the university and
superior m crit for the alumni In
their vocations. were goals set by DR..
Wilbur. THE University" he said,
should not be something apart from
the world about It. It should break
down barriers that tradition or ignor-
ance have built UP, and it should stand
out in nasterful relationship with
all worthy endeavors setting standards
and stimulating projects.
