Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the President of Stanford University for the Thirty-First Academic Year Ending August 31, 1922: This Being the Nineteenth Report Submitted, to Which Are Appended the Annual Reports of the Treasurer and Comptroller Since the conception of the Memorial Hall idea there has been a great development in the future plans of the University. With the success of the First Million campaign and our entrance upon the Second Million, which is to be for buildings, it has been necessary for us to look ahead. You no doubt are familiar with the building scheme which has been published in one of the folders issued in connection with the Endowment Campaign. It is evident that for proper architectural harmony there should be a key building in the outer quadrangle to the west placed so as to offset the library building in the outer quadrangle to the east and of a size and character similar to that of the library and the Memorial Church. It seems to be most fitting that this building should be the Memorial Hall. The University is very much in need of an assembly hall of beautiful proportions and dignity in its decoration. We have also some rare war treasures to house, particularly the new statue of Isis received by the University from the people of Belgium as a tribute to Mr. Hoover. At present costs it seems to me that it will be desirable to have available a building, fund of between and to ensure the erection of a monumental building. The opportunity is unique and we should take full advantage of it. My hope is that upon the completion of the campaign we can elicit public assistance and add to the existing fund a sufficient amount to bring about this result. I can assure you that it will be my every effort to round out the splendid pioneer effort of you and your associates in collecting the Stanford War Memorial fund.
