In ordet to give him the time for that work and to relieve him af the pressure of routine administrative duties, the title of chancellor of Stanford University was created for him in 1912 at the instanée of Herbert Hoover, then a member of the board of trustees. Peace Advotate A lecture tour of tHe Balkans in 1913 convinced Dr. Jordan that the impending world conflagration soon would occur and the outbreak ‘came while he and Mrs. Jordan were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hoover in London. He immediately return- ed to the United States and re- doubled his peace efforts. When the United States entered the war, he was one of the first to accord full measure of support to the new aggressive program. “Our country is now at war,” he sald, “and the only way out is forward.
