My dear Dr. Jordan:

Our great loss brings together the scattered alumni in very sad but also very sweet remembrances of the living Mrs. Stanford. Through our grief I think we feel a leaping joy that ever we should have known face to face this kind-hearted, big-brained woman. Those who shall weigh her works will give her her fame, but we who have heard her voice have something more to give her than fame. The alumni everywhere mourn the loss of a kind and noble friend.

Sincerely,

William J. Neidig.
