Stanford. Newsweek June 7, 1959 noted that Hoover
said:
"In 1915 while head of the Committee on Relief in Belgium, I happened to
read some remarks by President Andrew White of Cornell made at a
conference on the disappearance of contemporaneous documents and
fugitive literature."
Hoover says he resolved to institute a search of Europe
after the war to obtain documents and preserve them in
an academic setting. Gilman and Wilbur aided him in
planning this program. Both White and Gilman were
original incorporators of the Russell Trust, which has
dominated American education for a century. Wilbur
requested that Hoover install this collection at Stanford.
Wilbur served as director of the Rockefeller Foundation
1923-40, and General Education Board, 1930-40. His
nephew and successor as president at Stanford, Richard
Lyman, is now president of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Wilbur also served as Secretary of the Interior in
Hoover's Cabinet 1929-33. During this period, he signed
the contracts for Hoover Dam, having thought up that
name. The dam was not completed until after FDR took
office; he maliciously ordered his Secretary of Interior,
Harold Ickes, to change the name to Boulder Dam.
Hoover points out in his Memoirs that:
"...two-thirds of the work had been done during the Hoover Administration, all
contracts were let as Hoover Dam, as was customary with many presidents
with works named after them when these works were done during their
administrations; on May 8, 1933, Secretary Ickes, on orders from Roosevelt
changed the name to Boulder Dam."
