collections within the University Archives; where possible, those that are duplicates of images in the Stanford Historical
Photograph Collection have been identified.

destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, Memorial Church, Memorial Arch and the museum. Other subjects include the Cactus Garden,
the Angel of Grief, Palm Drive, and the Entrance Gates. Some images of the Quad are stamped on the reverse with “F. L. Olmsted

and an armed man on guard duty on campus after the 1906 earthquake.
