The church was jammed full, about 2700 people
being admitted where 1700 only is regularly
arranged for. Most beautiful music and brief
but elegant speeches constituted the program of the
church. The students and others formed in line
and marched four abreast to the grave where
the final services were held. The speech by Rev.
Brown there was about the finest that I ever
heard.

The floral offerings were magnificant. They
came by the wagonload and almost the
carload from everywhere. Many of them cost
upwards of one hundred dollars apiece. Heard
that the Alumni sent one which cost two
hundred and fifty dollars. Seems like an
enormous amount to pay for floral decorations
does it not?

Each class gave some floral decoration and
Wednesday I went to Frisco to select one for
the Sophomore class. We decided on a
wreathe of white carnations and violets which
cost twenty dollars. While in town I saw
Otto Zeus, Sam Barnes and Victor Cooper, all of
whom seemed to be feeling and looking fine.
Also went down to the docks and saw the
big ocean liner "Alameda", in which Mrs.
Stanfords body was brought from Hawaii.
