	Past Inaugurations at Stanford
		Donald Bertrand Tresidder became president at a time when Stanford was still suffering from the effects of the Great Depression and had seen its ranks of students and faculty depleted by the Second World War.
		On Oct. 14, 1943, Tresidder was "presented" to an all-university assembly in Memorial Auditorium that consisted of "faculty, staff and officers of the Army." Mindful of the university's finances, Tresidder wanted to wait until after the war to hold a grander affair.
		Tresidder died suddenly from a heart attack on Jan. 28, 1948.

	New book recounts life of Stanford's fourth president
		Tresidder was born in Tipton, Ind., in 1894 and took a trip west to California with his sister at the age of 20.
		It was Tresidder who made the difficult decision, in 1944, to abolish the university's divisive sorority system, and it was his foresight that led to the establishment of a planning office for buildings and grounds, the first e ver in an educational institution.
		Tresidder also played major roles in the expansion of th e law and medical schools, and in the birth of the Stanford Shopping Center, the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) and the Stanford Industrial Park.

	'Exploiting a Wonderful Opportunity'
		Recently returned to Stanford after his wartime stint at Harvard as director of the government-sponsored effort to develop countermeasures to enemy radar, Terman looked at Washington and saw "a wonderful opportunity, if we are prepared to exploit it." Here were the funds that the University needed to improve its reputation as a research institution.
		Tresidder created the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in 1946 to attract private-sector funds as a substitute for federal dollars.
		Tresidder died in early 1948 while on the East Coast interviewing a new director for SRI.

	SummitPost - Tresidder Peak -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		Tresidder Peak is a prominent, yet relatively obscure peak on the north end of Yosemite National Park's Cathedral Range.
		The ears, in fact, are Tresidder Peak's class 4 north and south summits.
		Since the climbing on Tresidder is easy by technical standards, the peak is often linked together with many summits on a long day of solo climbing.

		And she was well aware of the public relations sensitivity of Mather and Tresidder and used it to her advantage with the windows.

	The forces that have shaped Stanford
		Tresidder, according to Lowen, fought the initial battles with the faculty before his death in 1948.
		After him, Sterling and Terman solidified the gains Tresidder had made, and Stanford's course was firmly set throughout the 1950s and into the growing societal turmoil of the 1960s.
		Former Stanford President Donald Tresidder, Lowen writes, was leery of growing too dependent on the vagaries of federal funding, a complaint current Stanford President Gerhard Casper has been known to voice and which is behind Stanford's current $200 million program to create 300 privately funded graduate research fellowships.

	Chapter 36: World War II
		When President Donald Tresidder succeeded President Wilbur in the presidency of the University in January of 1943 he learned of Dr. Wilbur's ambitious Endowment Campaign which called for generous grants to the medical school to build new facilities in San Francisco.
		To President Tresidder and Dean Chandler these rebuffs meant that the local doctors were not ready to cooperate with a Stanford Medical School in their midst and that an attempt to consolidate the School on the Campus was therefore premature.
		Later experience showed that President Tresidder and Dean Chandler were correct in predicting that there would be significant friction between the Medical School and the local practitioners when the School moved to the Campus, but mistaken in their assumption that this negative disposition could not be overcome.

	The Bracebridge Dinner - History
		The cathedral windows look out onto the beauty of Yosemite Valley, and the spirit of all things beautiful cannot help but be felt, as one is enveloped in the joy of the season.
		Tresidder and his wife, Mary Curry Tresidder, played the parts of Squire and Lady Bracebridge.
		A cast member of the first two seasons — a part-time Valley resident who had played the part of The Lord of Misrule — was asked by Tresidder to take on the task of reworking the event.

	Yosemite — The Embattled Wilderness (Chapter 10)
		A recent article in a San Francisco newspaper charged that it seemed Yosemite National Park was "being run for the protection of bears and not for the protection of tourists." Likewise, sweeping California were rumors that hundreds of people had been injured—some very seriously—by Yosemite's bears.
		Yet it was Tresidder's letter of September 30 that Leavitt enclosed for the director to review.
		Looking forward to the stand's completion in time to serve guests that summer, Tresidder asked for approval "at an early date, in order that we may proceed with the work immediately." Similarly, on November 12, 1927, the company proposed the construction of a new toboggan slide on a site fronting Camp Curry.

		As a Stanford trustee since 1939, he has devoted the same lusty, detailed attention to "the Farm" (Stanford's name for its magnificent campus, once a horse-breeding ranch).
		A big reason for Tresidder's election is his good relations with Washington—in sharp contrast to those of Stanford Trustee Herbert Hoover and his onetime Secretary of the Interior, Dr. Wilbur.
		Said a Tresidder friend last week: "He knows the department heads and he knows their politics.
