Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Delivered at Stanford University, March 6, 1894<br><br>When I yielded to the request of Governor Stanford and consented to deliver some lectures before the students of this university, I confidently expected that he would be here to give me that stimulus and encouragement which a genial and familiar face, reflecting a friendly approval that does not wait upon performance, affords to one who enters upon an unaccustomed work.

As we shall, on the ninth instant, observe the anniversary of his birth, I will reserve for that occasion my tribute to the virtues of a friend whose death I now first realize, because he is not here.<br><br>I am glad to have even so slight and casual a part as that of a non-resident lecturer in the work of this young but already great university.
