Addressing the boys of 1903, the head of Stanford University asks each to picture his “afterself”, the man he will be decades on, waiting on choices made now. Jordan’s brisk address covers clean living, a trained mind, honest work, the purpose of the American university and the duties a new century will lay on its citizens.

A compact period piece of Progressive-era moral advice from one of America’s leading educators. Download the free EPUB.
