Excerpt from The First Year at Stanford: Sketches of Pioneer Days at Leland Stanford Junior University I first heard Of the Stanford University through the newspapers, from the notices half laudatory, half contemptuous, with which the American press welcomes every new project. A colored engraving Of the proposed buildings at tracted my attention, as also the rumors that Huxley, Bryce, and others of equal note had been tendered the presidency or its professor ships.
