The history of the University, in outward events, divides itself easily into a number of quite distinct periods. The first covers that of the two initial years, from 1891 to 1893, ending with the death of Senator Stanford in June of the latter year. This was preeminently the Golden Age. It was the period of discovery, of unlimited possibilities; and if of unexpected obstructions also, these only added to the zest of existence. Excepting only the Business Office, no cloud larger than a man's hand showed on the horizon. The enrollment of the first year was larger than that of the State University, then nearly a quarter of a century old; that of the second year increased by 40 per cent. There was pioneering in the dormitories and on the Row, unexpected limitations, mistakes, misunderstandings, misfits; but the glow of achievement and of promise spread over everything that is comprised within these two years.
