Stanford ' M ' - ' i - ' ' ' - ' ' pi ' occdcnis, of slaiulards, of rei ulations, of machinery, Quad witli all its cxliilaralini; ' , whistlini; ' winds of freedom, showed some un- 1904 expected results. Though entrance requirements were of irreproach- able character, few coidd he denied admission when there were twenty tlilYerent doors at which the special student mis ht knock. Thon, h one hundred and twenty hours were rigidly required by the august Council, what mattered this when almost any instructor could present the needv student — conn ' ade and fellow worker — with as much credit as the exigency or the importunity demanded ! What cause for commotion in the dro])ping of half a hundred students at the semester ' s end when five and fort} ' could count on being readmitted at the next semester ' s be- ginning ! Regulations, checks, even shortening of tethers were inevitable. The Stanford spirit and the Stanford activities of the second decade must be conditioned by these facts. There are already Stanford tra- ditions, Stanford grooves, Stanford shrines. Woe to the iconoclastic Freshman who sets out not to respect them ! These carry over into the new Stanford all that could be carried over of the best and stablest of the old. There is a larger Stanford already at our gates, with larger opportunities, better working conditions, greater steadiness, not less fine enthusiasms. When its ten years are up the second decade will be found to be not less fair or less noble than its immortal predecessor. O. L. Elliott. 24
