1890 Pioneer Women 



sional success, mainly in Europe, he returned to the university 

 in 1919 as professor of Mining Engineering. Theodore, like 

 Herbert, is a practical idealist. Roaming as a student over 

 the hills of Santa Cruz County, he came upon the beautiful 

 Waddell Creek, a trout stream flowing between redwood- 

 covered heights down to the sea. "When my ship comes in 

 I'm going to own this place," said he. That cherished plan 

 was carried out not long ago, when he bought 2500 acres of 

 forest, hill, and dale, and established there (besides a model 

 farm) his hospitable summer home, Casa del Oso.

 my acquaintance are those of Stanford mates. A 

 number, however, entered successfully on profes-

Of these last, two who entered in the fall of 1892 have long 

 been members of the university faculty. Clelia D. Mosher 

 added to her preliminary degrees from Stanford that of Doctor 

 of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. From 1910 to 1919 she held 

 the double position of medical adviser and of director of physi-

 of the latter duty. In certain lines of research Dr. Mosher's

 Children's Bureau under Dr. William P. Lucas, also assistant 

 and later associate medical adviser to the Bureau of Refugees
