An elderly couple came to the front of the president's office of Harvard University. The secretary asked, "Who are you looking for?" The old couple said, "We are looking for the headmaster." The secretary asked, "Did you make an appointment in advance?" The old couple said, "No, we have come for a special purpose." The secretary looked at the old couple in wrinkled clothes and looked like civilians. It seems that I just came from the countryside and refused them, saying, "The headmaster is very busy at work and has no time to see you." The woman said, "Well, it doesn't matter. We will wait for him. " They just sat there waiting. The secretary thought they would give up, but they sat for hours. The secretary then told the headmaster. The headmaster made an appointment with the stubborn couple in order to drive them away. The old couple said to the headmaster, "our son used to study at Harvard, but now he is dead." We want to leave him some souvenirs on campus. " The headmaster interrupted them: "Sorry, I can't meet the requirements of your." If everyone who studied at Harvard left a memorial on campus after his death, wouldn't Harvard University become a graveyard? The old couple explained, "No, we mean donating a building." "The headmaster was amused." Do you know how much it costs to donate a building? "The old couple shook their heads. The headmaster proudly said, "All our buildings are worth $7.5 million." The old couple listened and stopped talking. After a while, the old couple said, "It only costs $7.5 million to build a building. Why don't we build a university? " When the headmaster heard this, he thought they were talking nonsense and turned away. Soon, a university was put into construction, and the investors were these two old people. This university is named after these two old people, and it is called Stanford University. What President Eliot didn't expect was that the school established by the couple in their name would later be as famous as Harvard University. What is even more unimaginable is that a graduate of that school named Bok later became the president of Harvard University, and he was in charge of Harvard for 20 years, second only to Eliot himself.
