Appendix M 



Scholar, who in the time 



Of Science's golden prime, 

 When from neglect she rose to heights sublime — 



He came in her best age 



And proved his heritage 

 By adding luster to her brightest page. 



Leader, whose growing years 



With Stanford's hopes and fears 

 Kept measure till his triumphs dried her tears — 



Teacher of teachers he, 



Molder of men to be 

 The carriers of our country's victory. 



Poet, whose wit can range 



From tales of wonder strange 

 To God's great laws of truth and time and change — 



Though seventy and still growing. 



On us he's now bestowing 

 The written record of a life worth knowing. 



Prophet, whose victories 



Are those of love and peace — 

 How shall we thank him that when wrongs increase 



He falters not, nor ever 



Turns from his high endeavor 

 Malice from justice, right from revenge to sever? 



Scholar and leader too, 



Poet and prophet true, 

 "What shall we say" for him? What can we do? 



God keep him well and strong, 



God grant him to live long. 

 This champion of right, — this challenger of wrong!
