In those early days of California when Herbert Hoover was a senior in Leland Stanford university at Palo the femi- Alto and Miss Lou Henry was a freshman, and the blue skies, the rolling foothills and the whispering eucalypti of the campus stimulated a friendship which ripened to an endur ing romance, little did the young engineer see his road to fame through revolutions, wars and politics. And little did he think that his bride would have to take her turn at a machine gun, assist in technical engineering problems, care for two spirited sons, and emerge with him as contender for the position of President of the United States.

It was a chance for the young engineer. , It was however not an overly bright one. Even at that time the Celestial Kingdom was tottering. There were the first rumblings of the conflict between the old order and the new. The trip meant unsettled living conditions and perhaps danger. This first possible division of roads did not cause the young bride to hesitate.
