Deceptive clothes. A woman wearing a dress holding her faded and worn plainly dressed, got off the train in Boston, and walked timidly toward the Chief's office at Harvard University. They asked for an appointment.
The secretary got the impression that they are the village, hick, so there can be no business at Harvard and probably not even deserve to be in Cambridge.
"We want to see the president," the man said softly.
"He's a busy day," the secretary snapped.
"We will wait," replied the woman.
For 4 hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. But it's not. The secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to report to the leaders.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll go," he said at the Harvard Leadership. He sighed in exasperation and nodded. As important as the person he would not have time for them. And when he saw two men dressed in faded and worn clothes outside his office, his displeasure already appeared. The president, with a stern face toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We have a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard and happy here. But a year ago, he died in an accident. We want to establish a memorial to him, somewhere on this campus, allow? "He asked, with eyes that screamed hope.
The president was not touched, even her face flushed. He looked surprised. "Madame," he said brusquely, "We can not put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery. "
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We do not want to erect a statue. We would like to give a building to Harvard. "The president rolled his eyes.
He glanced at the clothes faded and worn clothes they wear and shouted, "A building ?! Do you know how much a building costs?! We have more than 7.5 million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard. "
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university, why not our own?" Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the university that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared. The university is Stanford University, one of the favorite upscale universities in the US today.
We, as leaders of the Harvard, often dazzled by the shirt, and inattentive. In fact, just wrap dress, what is hidden, sometimes very priceless. So, let us not always be neglected, because the clothes, often deceptive.
