0 JOHN CASPER BRANN ER July 4, 1850--March 1, 1922 N the passing of Dr. Branner, Stanford loses a man who for over thirty years, as Professor of Geology, as Vice-President, President, and President-Emeritus, brought, with ever-increasing influence and pres- tige, honor to Stanford. He came to us widely recognized as scientist and ins iring teacher. Here he was at once recognized by colleagues and students as a leader of men, and his personal and professional qual- ities early attracted to his department many of the best students. Under his training andiniluence many of these developed scientific and practi- cal abilities which have placed them in the front rank of recognized ex- perts and teachers. Among the qualities which contributed to Dr. Branner's success as scientist and teacher were, notably, his uncompromising devotion to truth, his untiring zeal for work, his deep interest in his students, and the faith he placed in them-a faith which challenged their best efforts. These characteristics, with his earnestness, sincerity, self-sacrificing spirit of hel fulness, sympathetic companionshilp, and genial humor, helped to malze him the respected scientist and eloved leader. To all who knew him his personality will remain a precious memory and his example an inspiration. J. M. STILIIMAN.

FOREWORD The QUAD purports to be an interpretive record of a Stanford year. To transcribe the events of l92l-l922 to the pages of this book and to present a faithful pictorial history of the last twelve months has been our aim. The staff has not been content, however, with tabulating statistics or com- piling photographs. The past few months have formed a period to which future students at Stanford will look back and say: This movement began in '22, or, that building was completed in '2l. The drift toward vital changes, apparent for some time, was pronounced during the year now con- cluding. The staff hopes that in some degree these pages interpret the past year and indicate the road along which Stanford is progressing. We take no particular' pride in pointing out departures in this QUAD from previous year-books. The QUAD, if truly representative of campus life, varies as Stanford changes. The elimination or absorption of four departments of former QUADS and the institution of five new ones are important only as they indicate a progressing university with an emphasis lately stressed on certain ac- tivities. A few departures have been made, such as a record of scholastic life, in order that the book be complete in its chronicle of the year. Changes, as the substitution of senior for junior pictures, were made'to keep Stanford to the fore in college journalism. In this, the one page on which the editor will not allow the censoring blue pencil of the staff, he wishes to express a genuine appreciation of the help of editorial and managerial assistants. Editorial assistance is a rather abstract phrase. There was nothing abstract, however, in the aid necessary to fill 632 pages when every page required the assistance of from one to ten people. The term manager usually connotes economies of cents, but the present man- ager has not viewed his position as a profit making opportunity. Without the appreciation he showed of the editorial viewpoint, this book would lack many of its more expensive features. If the 1923 QUAD reflects the atmosphere of the Farm and the ideals which vitalizve the Stanford Spirit it has in that measure succeeded. THE EDITOR
