Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address of Jane Lathrop Stanford Upon Her Inauguration: As President of the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, July 6th, 1903
Gentlemen: I think it fitting that I should not only thank you for the compliment paid me in my election as a Trustee of the Leland Stanford Junior University, and as President of this Board of Trustees, but that I should also address you relative to certain matters of policy upon which I think I am qualified to speak by my ten years of experience, and as to such matters as are likely to come before you for considera tion during my term of office as President. I appreciate these honors not only because they were voluntarily and unexpectedly tendered by you immediately upon the announcement of my intention to resign all of the powers and duties heretofore vesting in me by law as Surviving Founder of the University, but because the positions will enable me to keep in touch with its affairs and to see it assume its final form and organization.
Your first serious problem is that of organizing this Board and the University.
The importance of this question cannot well be over estimated, and its solution should receive all of the thought and investigation which its importance demands.
The Founding Grant contains the following clauses upon this subject.
