"This book is written to show the relation of war to the downfall
of nations. The certainty that war leads toward racial decadence by
the obliteration of the most virile elements, these being thereby
left unrepresented in heredity, is becoming widely accepted as the
racial argument against the War System of the world, standing
second only to the final argument of the human conscience that
murder remains murder even when done on a gigantic scale under the
sanction of the state and the blessing of the church." David Starr
Jordan (1851-1931) was a noted educator, scientist and peace
activist. Educated at Cornell University, Butler University, and
the Indiana University School of Medicine he became the President
of Indiana University in 1885, the youngest university president in
the nation at the time. Six years later, he accepted the post of
President of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he
remained, first as president and later as chancellor, until his
retirement. Dr. Jordan was a renowned expert in many fields. His
training was mainly in ichthyology, the study of fish, and he was
widely regarded in that field. He served as an expert witness on
the validity of the theory of evolution at the Scopes trial in
Tennessee. In addition, he was known for his work in education and
philosophy, publishing many works on those subjects.
