Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address of Jane Lathrop Stanford Upon Her Inauguration: As President of the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, July 6th, 1903 Gentlemen: I think it fitting that I should not only thank you for the compliment paid me in my election as a Trustee of the Leland Stanford Junior University, and as President of this Board of Trustees, but that I should also address you relative to certain matters of policy upon which I think I am qualified to speak by my ten years of experience, and as to such matters as are likely to come before you for consideration during my term of office as President. I appreciate these honors not only because they were voluntarily and unexpectedly tendered by you immediately upon the announcement of my intention to resign all of the powers and duties heretofore vesting in me by law as Surviving Founder of the University, but because the positions will enable me to keep in touch with its affairs and to see it assume its final form and organization. Your first serious problem is that of organizing this Board and the University. The importance of this question cannot well be overestimated, and its solution should receive all of the thought and investigation which its importance demands. The Founding Grant contains the following clauses upon this subject: "That the Trustees shall have power and it shall be their duty: "2. To manage and control the institution hereby founded. "3. To manage and control the trust property, care for and improve the same, operate or lease it, and apply the net proceeds or profits thereof to the purposes of the trust hereby created.

This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named One of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2022 by the Los Angeles Times A premier historian penetrates the fog of corruption and cover-up still surrounding the murder of a Stanford University founder to establish who did it, how, and why. In 1885 Jane and Leland Stanford cofounded a university to honor their recently deceased young son. After her husband’s death in 1893, Jane Stanford, a devoted spiritualist who expected the university to inculcate her values, steered Stanford into eccentricity and public controversy for more than a decade. In 1905 she was murdered in Hawaii, a victim, according to the Honolulu coroner’s jury, of strychnine poisoning. With her vast fortune the university’s lifeline, the Stanford president and his allies quickly sought to foreclose challenges to her bequests by constructing a story of death by natural causes. The cover-up gained traction in the murky labyrinths of power, wealth, and corruption of Gilded Age San Francisco. The murderer walked. Deftly sifting the scattered evidence and conflicting stories of suspects and witnesses, Richard White gives us the first full account of Jane Stanford’s murder and its cover-up. Against a backdrop of the city’s machine politics, rogue policing, tong wars, and heated newspaper rivalries, White’s search for the murderer draws us into Jane Stanford’s imperious household and the academic enmities of the university. Although Stanford officials claimed that no one could have wanted to murder Jane, we meet several people who had the motives and the opportunity to do so. One of these, we discover, also had the means.
