PAGH BROS., : COLLEGE PHOTOGRAPHERS, 1024 Chapel St., New Haven. Branch of No. 935 Broadway, - New York New Yor« OFFICE, 337 SZ = « i Wil CONT} TL Mrs, Stanford’s $15,060,000 Gift and its Conditions. [Stanford Alumnus. ] At a meeting of the Board of Trus- tees on May 31st, Mrs. Stanford made formal transfer to the University of deeds representing stocks, bonds, and realty to the face value of $15,000,000. This and other recent transfers, by -which Mrs. Stanford, with her char- acteristic wisdom and foresight seeks to forestall the legal difficulties often at- tending conveyance by will, places Stan- ford University very high, if not high- est in the list of the richly endowed universities in the world. The University for the past three years has lacked $40,000 a year of being self- supporting. Mrs. Stanford, in addition to making good this difference, has put up new buildings to a value of over $400,000. From now on, however, the University will have ample funds with which to strengthen its faculty and to proceed as fast as may be with the carry- ing. out of the original architectural plan. Some of the most important provisions made by Mrs. Stanford regarding future management, as voiced in her address to the Trustees, are given below: “The attendance of women shall be limited to 500 at any one time. Mechan- ical schools and workshops shall be en- couraged by liberal endowments. The Stock Farm shall be maintained unless it proves itself permanently unremunera- tive. No Summer school shall be held at the University, or have the use of the University name. Associations of stu- dents are given permission to build campus residences at a minimum cost of $6,000; private parties being allowed to build for not less than $4,000. Cam- pus boarding houses are to be perma- nently discouraged. Mrs. Stanford’s brother, C. G. Lathrop, is to be con- tinued as business manager during his lifetime at a salary of $10,000 a year. Samuel F. Lieb is made President of the Board for the coming year. The President of the University is to be pro- tected in the exercise of his present powers, and his salary is never to be less - than $10,000.” Accident to H. 0. Johnson, 1900 Harry Otis Johnson, 1900, of Machias, Me., was seriously injured by a collision between two trolley cars July 29, and although his hurts are of a nature to keep him confined to the hospital for - some time yet, he will probably be able to return to College in the Fall. Mr. Johnson was on the Winchester Avenue Electric road as an extra motorman, during the Summer and was engaged in running an express car from New Haven to Woodmont at the time of the accident. His attempt to meet a passenger car a switch further along than the usual meeting place resulted in a bad collision on a curve, which hid the on-coming cars from each other. Johnson was jammed between the cars and had his left. wrist broken, also a double fracture of the left leg. His knee pan was badly injured. He was otherwise cut and bruised and the doctors were fearful of the outcome. No one else was_ hurt. At the present writing Mr. Johnson is recovering rapidly. Bg e A meeting of the Prudential Com- mittee of the Corporation was _ held August 9, but no news was given out. A number of different plans are now being prepared, by different architects, for the Commemoration Hall. No deci- ’sion- can be reached before late in the Fall-or early in the Winter, and ground will not be broken before next Fall. . ‘ For All Around Work 4 Itis the yvvy Superior Writing Machine.
