Orme 18 A BEASTLY “BUT YOU MANAGE TO KILL THE TIME, DON'T you?” “NO. 1 WENT ALL THE WAY ANOUND THE WORLD IN MY YACHT JUST POR THAT PURPOSE, AND BE MANGED IP 1 HADN'T GAINED A WHOLE Day.” A Lady or the Tiger Case. L IFE has touched twice upon the c of Pro- fessor Ross, of the Stanford University; once to say that Mrs. Stanford would do well to pay less attention to her professors, and once to say that Stanford owed a degree of filial considers > tion to Mrs. Stanford which it could not afford toignore. Further information is offered but it seems unnecessary. The Ross case is case of the Lady or the Tiger. choice possible There was no which was unobjectionable, President Jordan chose the lady, and the friends of the tiger have made vehement protest. The protest may be right and useful, and may serve to protect professors in the en- joyment of reasonable freedom of speech. But President Jordan was right, too. While Mrs, Stanford lives, Stanford can’t afford to snub her. It owes her a sort of gratitude which is not-a sense of favors to come, but a sentiment of appreciation for sacrifices made. She has burned her ships for Stanford, and ought not to be marooned, even though consideration for her may not be compatible with full present liberty of exhortation to professors of disputed wisdom.
