Through the courtesy of Mrs.
A. J. Johnson, of this city, we
are enabled to publish a letter re
cently received by this lady from
a nephew she has who is attend
ing Stanford University.1 The
letter is written in entertaining
vein and the ' writer shows him
self to be a keen observer, as the
following will prove:
I was half delighted and sur
prised to receive your welcome
letter, surprised . in that "you
can' t al ways tell what you least ex
pect the' most." ' Imagine the
exultation of one who - has not
seen his ma : for three ' months,
at receiving such a letter!
Bnt it's such a great place
down here that all feelings of
homesickness are dismissed with
out any trouble. " I suppose the
folks have told you the contents
of some of my letters how well
I'm getting along, what a fine
college Stanford is, and its beau
tiful surroundings. I guess I
have made no mistake in my
selection of a college. The
buildings and the grounds are
something magnificient and I
have heard that $30,000,000 has
been spent ou the University.
Take anyone of the large build
ings and its finer than the Port
land City Hall or Custom House.
All -the buildings are of rough
veuow sana stone with red tile
roofing. The memorial church
nished throughout with mosa c
the finest church west of the
Atlantic States.
The place where I live, Encina
all for boys, is of ' stone, four
stories high, and 300 feet long,
and contains 2J rooms. " It has
club ronm, with billiards and
pool, a piano, and reading table;
alsoa finely equipped .gymnasium.
With the endowment which it
now has ($44,060,000). Stanford
bids fair to rival any university
in the world.

This college.life is certainly an
eventtul one. 1 never saw en
thusiasm run so high. Boys
that come here from Yale and
Harvard say " that the college
spirit of the eastern universities
cannot compare with that of
Stanford. Saturday, Nov. 11.
was certainly an event in my
career, un that date the annual
football game between Stanford
and Berkeley was played, and
this is the biggest athletic event
of the Pacific coast. The details
of the game were nothing as
compared with the rooting of the
students and the admirers of the
two colleges. The game was
played on Stanford's new field on
the campus just in front of En
cina Hall. The field seats 15,000
and every place was taken. The
patrons xwere about - equally di
vided, one side of the field being
a varigated mass of blue and gold
while the other side was a mass
of cardinal, Stanford's color,
Each college has a' trained root
ing section of 80O students. For
Stanford every rooter wore a
red hat and had a red megaphone.
Then in middle of the section a
white S fifty feet high was formed
by some c-f the feUows putting on
white hats and caps. At the
bottom of the section was the
Stanford band where the music
was played. The whole 800 root
ers waved their megaphones
back and forth keeping time and
making one glaring sea or car
dinal. Then when the team
came on the field each fellow
oroduceda bag of red confetti
and scattered it In the air, pro
ducing, it is said, one of the
most novel effects ever seen in
college rootine. At the same
time someone liberated 6 doves,
each with a streamer of cardinal
ribbon.. They flew first to the
Bertelev side then to Stanford's
side: and finally across Berkeley?s
goal line. ,,The' mea - was cer
tainly a good one for Stanf mt
won 12 to s.
You can't imagine how perfect the
yells and songs were uivea by fellow
who had been trained for two months.
Then when the game was over an t
Stanford had won, every ' Stanford man
arose, bared bis head and Ban the' col
lege anthem, "Hail, Stanford Hail. " I
have never seen a more imruessi ve sight.
After this Stenford took possession of
the field, and every student forming fi ve
'breast, danced the serpentine march in
front of the Berkley grand stand, that
name was really the greatest thing I ever
saw.
Bat I will quit before I am carried
away. About fiat pennant of course a
fair exchange is no robbery and when I
get the least bit flushed with money I
will buy a Stanford pennant and trade
with ydo. - ' '."-v.
