Goebel, who for thirteen years has been intimately associated with the growth of | the seat of learning at Palo Alto, accord- ing to his attorney and friend, Willlam Denman, does not intend to vacate the position he has so long held solely be- cause he is bidden to do so by Dr. Jor- dan. At the same, says Denman, his friend and client, while seeking his rights, is averse to bringing the university into a controversy which has not'been of his seeking. Dr. Goebel, declares his legal adviser, bas ever been loyal to Stanford and the faculty, and though one year ago the late Mrs. Stanford importuned Dr. Goebel to turnish her with a written repert on the condition of the university and its man- Governor of-the Province of Santiago Del Estero Captured by Insurgents.
