STANFORD HORIZONS
$15.25
Book
Good fortune has kept me in the midst of a heady stream of youth for most of my life. Eager, enthusiastic, and light-hearted, but fundamentally ambitious, courageous, and confident of their control of the future, they have passed through the portals of Stanford into the horizon. To give some suggestions while they were on the way, or to offer them a final word, has been my privilege. Some of them have asked that they might read what they have heard me say.
The nation and the University have lived through a number of trying periods in the twenty years of my responsibility as President of Stanford. Some of these talks, while perhaps appropriate chiefly to the occasions on which they were delivered, seem worth recording, since crises and the need for individual decision will inevitably recur.
Once in a while one finds that some phrase or idea sticks in the mind of a boy and girl and is of use. To give an address is to broadcast into the blue. It becomes helpful only when someone is on the receiving end. If that someone is ear-minded, as most university students are, some effect may be produced; but since all of those who have been exposed to education have become likewise eye-minded, the present little volume is offered in the hope that even some students grown older will put on their lenses and hark back to those college days of exuberance,
romance, ambitions, and ideals.

Book
We owe so much to our public schools and so readily take them for granted that we may fail to recognize how careful we should be in any projected program of economy in education. The people of our nation have gone through an economic crisis of great severity and have in spite of it retained good health, good order, and stability. This is evidence of an informed public. For this we may certainly credit our public school system more than any other factor. The American school has brought about in each community a mutual understanding which has permitted unusual co-operation in these times of difficulty. Before we change any essential element in our public school system, then we must be sure that we are not damaging it, for it provides the best guaranty of continued national life that we have.
