JOHN C. BRANNER John C. Branner, a fellow-student of Professor Jordanis at Cornell, was the first to receive a professorship at Stanford University. He became President in 1918 upon Professor Jordanis retirement, after serving as the Vice- President for many years. Humor and sound judgment combined with great executive ability made his two and a half years service a period of further progress and cooperation with the trustees and the faculty. Quiet and efficient, he instituted the retirement plan and the development of an emergency fund for the university. Picture taken. in 1900 as at 1 iQ. FQSE... DA VID STARR JORDAN In 1891 when Senator Stanford was searching for a man to presideover the projected memorial university, David Starr Jordan, a former student of Cornell, was highly recommended by Cornellas president. That same evening the Stanfords started for University of Indiana where Professor Jordan taught. Jordan accepted the appoint- ment as a worthy challenge to his educational ideals. Able and persevering, he guided the university through its troubled early years, sustaining the free thought and liberal discipline that has become Stanford tradition, retiring after long service to be Stanford's Chancellor. Piciure taken in 1911 RAY LYMAN WILBUR Ray Lyman Wilbtir was the first Stanford graduate to preside over the tuiiversity. A member of the class of 1896 he rose from physiology instructor to Dean of the Medical School. In 1916 he became President. Excepting the period of his service as Secretary of the Interior under U. S.President Hoover, when Robert Eckles Swain was the Acting--President, his work and interests have always been closely associated with the university. Under his leadership building and research continue to pro- gress, the institution of the independent study plan, the Upper and Lower Division plan and the combination of departments into schools provide a richer, more varied education. in 19-L0

' The first twenty-four Trustees were appointed by Senator and Mrs. Stanford for life terms which were later limited to ten-year terms with the Board composed of only fif- teen members. In 1903 Mrs. Stanford gave up her rights and privileges as a Founder, and the Board of Trustees began to function actively in the management of the Uni- versity, electing her to the honorary position of President of the Board. Through the years the Trustees have worked for Stanford in the progressive spirit of the Founders. They sponsored the Medical School, aided the Food Research Institute in cooperation with the Carnegie Corporation, and built the final Library Building. They also aided the Memorial Fund for the auditorium, and provided many of the dormitories, Toyon, Lagunita, Roble, and Union. THE PRESENT TRUSTEES Around the table, left to right: IRA S.
