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 before a plain backdrop. 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, having described over 500 new species of fish during his career. He earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and went on to teach at Indiana University before joining Stanford's faculty in 1891. Jordan's tenure at Stanford was marked by significant growth and development. Under his leadership, the university expanded its academic programs, faculty, and student body, establishing it as a leading institution of higher learning in the United States. He also oversaw the construction of several iconic campus buildings, including the Main Quad and Memorial Church. In this portrait, Jordan exudes a sense of authority and vision, embodying the spirit of innovation and progress that defined his time at Stanford. The photograph is a testament to his remarkable accomplishments and enduring impact on American education. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a vast archive of historical photographs documenting life in the United States during the 20th century. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, was a leading supplier of photographs to Congress and other government agencies, as well as to major publications and private clients. This photograph, like many in the collection, offers a unique window into the past, capturing the essence of a pivotal figure in American history.
