THE DAYS OF A MAN
BEING MEMORIES
OF A NATURALIST, TEACHER
AND MINOR PROPHET OF
DEMOCRACY
BY DAVID STARR JORDAN
ILLUSTRATED
VOLUME Two
1900-1921
Jungle and town and reef and sea,
I have loved God's earth and God's earth loved me,
Take it for all in all!
Yonkers-on-Hudson, New York
WORLD BOOK COMPANY
1922
The Days of a Man 1912
as to personal liberty, diet, and methods of studying
literature, and his many eccentricities were effective
in impressing his ideas. It seems that he had been
granted an undesired "leave of absence" from Cra-
cow because of his freedom of speech. In the stormy
days which followed he took refuge in Savoy, whence
he sent me his book on "The Meaning of Freedom,"
and where later, as I learned through the Polish
Relief Committee, he was on the verge of starvation.
We then forwarded a little money from Stanford,
but I have since heard nothing of his fate.
The Bahai Another visitor of the same year was the Bahai,
Abdul Bahas, son of Baha O'llah, the famous Persian
devotee, founder and head of a widespread religious
sect holding as its chief tenet the Brotherhood of
Man, with all that this implies of personal friend-
liness and international peace. Through an inter-
preter the kindly apostle expressed with convincing
force a message accepted, in name at least, by good
men and women all through the ages. He asked
forsome of my own essays to be translated into
Persian and cordially invited me to his abode of
peace in the hills of Damascus.
Still another apostle of good will, who came to us
not long after, was Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the mission-
ary physician of the bleak shores of Labrador. The
story of his noble work has been so well told that I
need only express my own appreciation of the man
and my pleasure in presenting him to the students of
the University.
On June 5, 1912, on the invitation of the German
consul, Von Bopp, I heard an address at the Fair-
