“Ten years ago, when Stanford was a glowing possibility, but nothing more, Mr. Walter M. Page, then editor of the Forum, asked me to set forth some of its ideals and purposes. The question to be answered was this: “What advantage can a new university have over an old one in America?” In what way can freedom and newness make up for the lack of history and traditions? It seemed to me, in the first place, that it was not necessary that a school should be ancient in order to gain the wisdom of age. Each generation is heir to all previous experiences. In the new university the period of infancy and growth may be materially shortened . . . The essential function of the university is the ‘emancipation of thought.’ . . . The essential of method in the university must be instruction by investigation. It is only by direct contact with the problems of life and nature that thought can be made free . . . The Stanford of today is no longer a new institution. It has made a record of its own, it has scored successes and failures. By its record it must be judged. This judgement it is not for me to give, but Stanford University may decide whether it has departed from its ideals, and whether those it has discarded are exchanged for those of higher value . . . That the University belongs to all it can help and that every interest in the community may be helped by it, we think that the experience of Stanford has clearly proved ...” David Starr Jordan, 1902 First President of Stanford University
