A lady and her husband stepped off the
train in Boston.
They walked without an appointment(预约)into the outer 31_ of
Harvard’s president(哈佛大学校长). But they were 32 by his secretary and kept waiting. For
hours, the secretary took no notice of them, 33
that the couple would finally become 34
and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb
the president, though 35 .
A few minutes later, the president walked
towards the couple with a 36 face. The lady told him, “We had a son
that 37_ Harvard for one year. He
loved Harvard. He was 38 here. But about a year ago, he was
accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 39
a memorial(纪念物)to him,
somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t 40 . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,”
he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and
died. If we did, this
41_ would look like a
cemetery(墓地),” “Oh,
no,” the lady 42 quickly. “We don’t want to put up a
statue. We would like to give a
43 to Harvard.” The
president rolled his eyes and
44 at the couple and then
exclaimed(惊叫), “ A
building! Do you have any 45_ how much a building costs? We have spent
over ＄7,500,000 on
the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The
president was 46 , because he could get rid of them now.
Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to
start a 47 ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her
husband nodded. 48_ their offer was
turned down, Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University
that bears their 49 , a memorial to a son that Harvard no
longer 50 about.
