The Days of a Man 1892 



To the original group of sturdy and devoted engineers 

 trained at Cornell we now added John C. L. Fish in Railroad 

 Engineering. Rufus L. Green, already mentioned, accepted a 

 professorship in Pure Mathematics. H. Rushton Fairclough, 

 a graduate of Johns Hopkins, came from the University of 

 Toronto to the department of Latin, of which he has long been 

 the head. Besides his excellent academic record (in the course 

 of which he was for one year director of the American Classical 

 School in Rome) I should mention also Dr. Fairclough's two 

 years of distinguished service as Red Cross executive in Switzer- 

 land and Montenegro. As commissioner with the rank of 

 lieutenant-colonel to the latter country, he was instrumental 

 in permanently establishing four hospitals, three orphanages, 

 and one industrial school, as supplementary to civilian relief. 



In addition to the six already named, Stewart W. Young, a 

 gifted research chemist who graduated from Cornell, came as 

 volunteer instructor, rising soon to be professor of Physical 

 Chemistry. _ 



All teachers thus far enumerated had part in the 

 formative period of Stanford University. Each 

 succeeding year added others, many of them vitally 

 related to the institution's later development and 

 cherished by us as friends. But as this is not a his- 

 tory of the University, I feel forced to limit further 

 special references to occasions that may arise, any 

 other procedure being quite impossible. Even less 

 possible is it to do justice to individual faculty 

 women whose faithful devotion has been so im- 

 portant a factor in their husbands' success. 



At the time of this writing (1920) the teaching 

 staff, exclusive of departmental assistants, numbers 

 over 250, more than fifty of whom are graduates of 

 Stanford itself. Stanford men also hold chairs in 

 nearly every prominent institution in the country, 

 and we are further represented in the University of 

 Sydney and in at least three universities in Japan.
