Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four-Leaved Clover: Being Stanford Rhymes
Hese verses, reminiscent of the early years of T Stanford University, come into a third edition to the music of hammer and saw and the ring of chisel upon yellow stone. The new roofs rim the blue far above the low red line of the Old Quad, the great Arch towers higher still, and the Chapel lifts itself, stone by stone, toward its ideal, little more than an uncertain dream when these rhymes were first put together in memory of the days of hope.
Yet, low-lying before the rising Chapel, dingy, to be sure, but still visible on twilight evenings, glim mers the '95 numeral in hasty paint, and somewhere beside a giant heap of earth where the feet of the Science Buildings are sinking into the Campus, a little old tree slants up with a bronze plate upon its breast.
