On display in the Alumni Center lobby, from the Stanford archives, are preliminary studies for the Memorial Church mosiacs, produced by a Venetian glass firm. The description states that Jane Stanford rejected a view for the facade that depicted figures rising from tombstones and skeletons draped in shrouds. Instead, she chose this "more pastoral view of Christ blessing the people."

I happened upon the football team running timed 10 & 40 yard sprints today. The trainer rushed over when he saw me pull out my camera to tell me the practice was "closed." When I explained about my blog, he changed his mind, and said, "Of course, we'll do anything that helps support Stanford." I love this place. And go Stanford football!

Our 15th Leading Matters event was today, in Santa Clara. Being so close to home, we were able to add some special touches that we just can't do in other cities. For example, one of the panels was on the future of the automobile, and Professor Chris Gerdes brought a "prop," Shelley, the robotic car that will autonomously race up Pike's Peak this summer.

Not the most original photo I've ever taken, but arriving early with no traffic on the Oval, I had to go for it.

I saw this bike today, which got me thinking about the funky little bike shop from 30 years ago. The new bike shop is in Tresidder.

The Dollie Splash was today. It was pretty crazy and lots of fun. I had a hard time picking a single photo, so here are three. Welcome to the new Dollies!
