EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, David Starr Jordan, the founding President and first Chancellor of Stanford University, is depicted in formal attire, standing confidently with his hands folded in front of him. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, showcases Jordan's distinguished air and intellectual prowess. Born in New York in 1851, Jordan was an accomplished ichthyologist, or fish scientist, before being appointed to lead Stanford University. He served as President from 1891 to 1913, and as Chancellor from 1913 until his death in 1931. Under his leadership, Stanford University flourished and grew in reputation, becoming a leading institution of higher learning in the United States. Jordan's passion for education was evident in his tireless efforts to expand the university's offerings and attract top faculty. He oversaw the establishment of the School of Engineering, the School of Medicine, and the Graduate School, among other initiatives. In addition to his administrative duties, Jordan continued to conduct research in ichthyology, publishing numerous papers and contributing significantly to the field. This full-length portrait of David Starr Jordan, taken during his tenure as President of Stanford University, captures a moment in time when this visionary leader was at the height of his influence and impact on American education. The photograph is a testament to his enduring legacy and the indelible mark he left on the academic world.
