II. That on the 1st day of June, 1897, the foregoing trusts, set forth in and created by said Founding Grant, were duly and regularly amended by the aforesaid instrument in the form of an address, dated, executed and delivered on the 1st day of June, 1897, as follows, to-wit: I further ' authority to speak for it, he should keep silent. If the professors «>f ihis University believe the aliove ti) be the true reason why jirofessors of other universities ha\e nearly altogether abstained from entering ui)on the pul)lic rostrum in the discussion of pi>litical and other questions upop wliich imbli'- feeling runs high and ui)on DP:CREE, amendments of OCTOBEE 3, 1902. 79 which llie public is itself divided, then I indulge ni the hope that they will follow their example. The Uni\ersity Avas not made independent of State con- trol because of any purpose of the founders inconsistent with its character as a State Institution, but because they believed that its purposes could be better and more surely accom- plished through a Board of Trustees free from possible political or partisan influence, and independent of all external control save that of Courts of Equity. Notwithstanding their creation of the University as an independent institution, it was the wish and purpose of the Founders that it should be kept, as far as practicable, in harmony with the public educational system, and tliat, in the matter of entrance requirements as well as in every other relation of the Uni- versity with the general public, the University authorities should take into consideration the welfare of those who do not attend the UniAcrsity as well as those who do, and adopt the policy which, in their judgment, is in accord with the spirit of the foundation, as above defined. AA'ithout neces- sarily lowering the standard of regular admission to the University, concessions may be made in admission upon partial or special standing, or otherwise, in favor of students coming from high schools which cannot afford to maintain a separate course of study for the benefit of the small minority of high school students Avho go to universities, but ofifer a reasonable number of practical studies for the prepa- ration of their students for an immediate entry into the active walks of life. vSo long as the public maintains an eiificient high school system, the education given by the University to a student should commence where that given to him by the high school ends ; and there should be no gap in his necessary education between where the high school ends and the Universit}' begins and which omitted part of his education could only be supplied by private schools — the latter not licing gcneralh^ accessible to the students of limited means. The University authorities are, however, the sole judges of the qualifications of applicants for admission to any department of the institution. 80 DEC KKE, AMKXDMK.XT^ UE OtTOBKK 3, 1902. Tlie University has been endowed with a view of offering instruction free, or nearly free, that it may resist the tendency to the stratification of society, by keeping" open an avenue whereby the deserving and exceptional nun' rise through their own elTorts from the lowest to the highest stations in life. A spirit of equalit}' must accordingly be maintained within the University. To this end it shall be the duty of the University authorities to prohibit excessive expenditures and other excesses on the part of students, and the formation or growth of any organization, custom or social function that tends to the development of exclusive or undemocratic castes within the L'niversity, and to exclude from the institution any one whose conduct is inconsistent with the spirit of the foundation. While its chief object is the instruction of students with a view to producing" leaders and educators in every field of science and industry, the Universit}^ was also designed "to advance learning, the arts and sciences ;" and to this end the institution should assist, by experimentation and research, in the advancement of useful knowledge and in the dissemi- nati(^n and practical application of the same. The I'^ounding Grant provides that the Trustees shall establish and maintain at the University an educational s)'stem which will, if foliovvcd, fit the graduate for some useful ])ursuit. and to this end, cause the pupils, as early as may be, to declare the particular calling which they ma}' desire to pursue. The purpose of this requirement is not only to assure the jiractical character of the instruction, and to prevent such instruction as will not tend directly "to qualify students for personal success and direct usefulness in life," but to protect the Uni\crsity from the cost of instruct- ing and from the baneful influence of a class, bound to infest the institution as the country grows older, who wish to acquire a University degree or fashionable educational veneer for the mere ornamentation of idle and purposeless lives. The moving spirit of the Founders in the foundation and endowment of the Leland Stanford Junior I'niversitv was DECREE, RESIGXATIOX OF SURVIVIXG FOUNDER. 81 love of humanity and a desire to render the greatest possible service to mankind. The University was accordingly (de- signed for the betterment of mankind morally, spiritually, intellectually, physically and materially. The public at large, and not alone the comparatively few students who can attend the University, are the chief and ultimate beneficiaries of the foundation. While the instruction offered must be such as will qualify the students for personal success and direct usefulness in life, they should understand that it is ofifered in the hope and trust that they will become thereby of greater service to the public. As stated in the letter to the Trustees, accompanying the Founding Grant, "the object is not alone to give the student a technical education, fitting him for a successful business life, but it is also to instill into his mind an appre- ciation of the blessings of this Government, a reverence for its institutions, and a love of God and humanity, to the end that he may go forth and by precept and example spread the great truths by the light of which his fellow men will be elevated and taught how to obtain happiness in this world, and in the life eternal." VI. That the trusts set forth in and created by said Found- ing Grant and amendments thereof made prior to the 1st day of June, 1903, were upon said 1st day of June, 1903, further duly and regularly amended by said surrender, resignation and grant dated and executed, acknowledged and delivered by said Jane Lathrop Stanford, on that day, as follows, to-wit: NOW, THEREFORE, I, JANE LATHROP STAN- FORD, do hereby resign, relinquish and surrender all the riglus. ])o\vcrs, privileges and duties reserved to, tleve)lving upon, or vesting in me, by reason of the aforesaid conditions and reservations of said Founding Grant or by reason of the same or any similar or other conditions or reservations con- tained in, or attaching by inference or operation of law to, an}- other grant or instrument granting or gi\-ing property 82 1;K( Ri:i:. inisKiXATloX of sukvivixc foiwdkr. in trust tor ihc liiuiulini;'. luaintciumcc or l)cnetit of said L'ni- ve.rsit}', or contained ni. or attaching" by inference or opera- tion of law to. an}' other instrument atifecting the trusts created for the founding, endowment, maintenance or l)enefit of said Universit}-.

That this Court has full jurisdiction in this proceeding to hear this petition and to determine all matters set forth therein and to grant the relief prayed for. 2. That all the allegations of said petition are true. 3. That the petitioners Timothy Hopkins, Horace Davis, Thomas B. McFarland, George E. Gray, Joseph D. Grant, Samuel F. Leib, Leon Sloss, Thomas W. Stanford, Frank Mil- ler, Charles G. Lathrop, AVhitelaw Reid, George E. Crothers, \\'illiam Babcock, Charles P. Eells and Vanderlynn Stow are all of the Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University and do now constitute the entire Board of Trustees of said University, and that the legal title in fee simple to all of the properties referred to in said petition is now vested in said Trustees, petitioners herein, and that they hold, manage and control all of said properties for the founding, endowment, maintenance and Ijcnefit of the said Leland Stanford Junior University upon and subject to the trusts in the said petition set forth and referred to; and that all of the properties so held in trust constitute a single trust fund. 4. That the trusts set forth in said petition constitute a public benefaction with no specially designated beneficiaries and with no persons legally or directly interested in its man- agement other than the People of the State of California. 5. That imder said trusts it is a part of the duties of said Trustees and their successors to invest and re-invest the trust funds in their hands for the benefit of said University and that it is at times difficult and at other times impossible to invest the funds of said University in satisfactory bonds or bonded securities yielding a satisfactory rate of interest, and that the said Board of Trustees now has in its possession large sums of money which are bringing in practically no income to the said University because of the said Trustees being unable to invest the same in safe bonds or bonded securities yielding a satisfactory rate of interest. 04 SUPPLEMENTARY DRCREE. 6. That there is now a ,qrcat deniand, parlieuhirly in the City and County of San I'raneiseo, State of Calift)rnia. for money to be used in the construction of buildinj^s, and that large sums of mone}" can l)e loaned with i)erfect safety U])on the securit}- of real estate in llie said Cit}" and Comity of San I-'rancisco. and elsewhere, or upon other satisfactory- ^ecurity, so as to ijroduce a rate of interest in excess of thai derixed from bonds or bonded secm'ities. 7. That the lU^ard of Trustees and their successors may not always be able to make desirable loans of all the uninvested funds in their hands or to inirchase desirable and safe bonds with said trust funds, owing^ tcj changins^" financial conditions and the larg-e amounts of money which they have from time to lime in their possession, and that it is desirable to invest a ])ortion of such funds in real estate and to improve the same ; that a portion of said funds can be so invested as to bring a satisfactory income to the said University. 8. That at the time of the execution of the different in- struments creating said trust, the home and pren.i.ses men- tioned therein on the southwesterly corner of California and Powell Streets in the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, consisted of a lot of land fronting two hundred and six feet and three inches on the southerly line of California Street, two hundred and se\'enty-five feet on the westerly line of Powell Street and two hundred and six feet and three inches on the northerly line of Pine Street, with a large and richl}- furnished dwelling house thereon which was and had been the home of Leland Stanford and Jane Lathrop Stanford and. because of the fact that said l)uilding had been the home of herself and her said husband Leland ."-Stanford, said Jane Lathrop Stanford directed that the said home and ])remises should not be sold after her death, but that the same should be used for educational ])urposes in connection with or as a de])artment of said Ixland Stanford Junior L'niversity and that the same should never be api)ropriated for the use of a club house. Ijoarding house or place of undignified amusement. Sri'PLEMENTARY DECEEE. 95 That said Jane Lathrop Stanford departed this life on the 28th day of February, 1905. 9. That on or about the 19th day of April, 1906, the said building and home on said lot of land was destroyed by fire and the said lot of land is now vacant and unproductive. That b}- reason of said destruction of said building and home an exact and literal compliance with the directions of said Jane Lathrop Stanford in reference thereto is impossible and that her intention in regard thereto cannot be carried out; and that the result which the said Jane L. Stanford evidently desired to avoid at the time of making said restriction to-wit : the use of her family residence and home for undignified pur- poses, cannot now happen and. therefore, the reason for mak- ing said restrictions no longer exists. That said lot of land is situated in a very hilly portion of the said City and County of San Francisco, and cannot well be utilized for the purposes of said University or for any benevo- lent purpose without the expenditure of a large sum of money and that the same probably would, if so utilized, thereafter be a source of great expense to said Trustees. That owing to its location practically the only way said lot of land can be made to produce an income is for said Trus- tees to erect thereon a large hotel, apartment or club house, which it is not now^ and may never be advisable or expedient for them to undertake. 10. That it would be for the best interests of said trust and said University to invest a portion of the funds in their hands in loans on the security of real estate or upon other satisfactory security : and to invest a portion thereof in real estate and improvements on the same, and to lease or sell said lot of land on the southwest corner of California and Powell Streets in said Cit\- and County of San I-^'ancisco, if a satis- factory price can be obtained therefor, and re-invest the pro- ceeds of such sale so as to j^roduce an income therefrom. 11. That said Hoard of Trustees and said Trustees and their successors ha\'e the power, under the trusts under which 96 SUPPLEMENTARY DECREE. they hold, manage and control said trust properties, to invest any portion of said trust funds in loans upon the security of real estate or upon any other security satisfactory to them ; and lliat they have the power to invest any portion of said trust funds in the purchase of real estate and the power to invest any portion of said trust funds in the purchase of im- provements on real estate or in the erection of improvements on real estate. \2. That said Board of Trustees and said Trustees and their successors have the power under said trusts, to lease said lot of land at the southwesterly corner of California and Powell Streets in the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, said lot fronting two hundred and six feet and three inches on the southerly line of California Street, two hundred and seventy-five feet on the westerly line of Powell Street and two hundred and six feet and three inches on the northerly line of Pine Street, and formerly containing the residence of the said Jane Lathrop Stanford and the said Leland Stanford, for such time and times and for such pur- poses and on such terms as to them may seem advisable ; and have the power also to sell and convey said lot of land at such ])rice and on such terms as to them may seem advantageous, and to transfer the proceeds of such sale, if made, to the general trust fund of said University.
