Since we heard America was “being made great again” or something, we decided it was time for Strange Country to return. This time, cohosts Beth and Kelly tackle the story of David Starr Jordan, noted ichthyologist and first president of Stanford University, who definitely was a eugenicst but not certain a murderer. He did cover up Jane Stanford's murder by poison so there's that. That's not good, right? We don't know because it seems laws are meaningless now. Yay, America!?!

Episode 38 Jane Stanford Part 1 of 2 Jane Stanford, co-founder of Stanford University, died on her Hawaii vacation in 1905 after drinking from a bottle of mineral water that had been laced with pure strychnine. The university president, David Starr Jordan, claimed she died of ‘natural causes,' though Jane had survived an attempt on her life only weeks prior after drinking from a different mineral water that was found to contain rat poison. No one really believed she died naturally. And while some conjectured that Jane decided to die by suicide on that Hawaii getaway, there is far more evidence to suggest that Jane was murdered. But who actually poisoned her has never been solved.

The death of Jane Stanford, the founder of Stanford University, is an enduring mystery at the heart of one of the country's most prestigious schools.  In KCBS Radio's latest true crime podcast series, Bitter Academia, host and creator Natalia Gurevich explores Jane's life and the circumstances that led to her untimely death. In this episode of Bay Current, KCBS Radio's Mallory Somera speaks with Natalia about what made Jane such a unique woman of her time, and how her legacy persists to this day as Women's History Month draws to a close.

Who killed Jane Stanford? She died in 1905. She was the wife of Leland Stanford, a former railroad magnet, governor of California and U.S. senator. Their son Leland Stanford Jr. died at age 15 in 1884 of typhoid. In his honor, Stanford University was born in 1891. But why all these years later is there a book about who killed the doyenne of Stanford's family? Our guest, Emeritus Stanford University professor Richard White, has been chasing this mystery for several years. His book on the subject is subtitled "A Gilded Age Tale of Murder, Deceit, Spirits, and the Birth of a University."  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jane Stanford kept a small, insular circle of people close to her.  Several would have the nature of their relationship to her questioned following her suspicious death.  One of those was the person closest to Jane.

How do you tell the story of an unsolved murder that is 118 years old?  That was one of the challenges for KCBS Radio's Natalia Gurevich when she set out to create Bitter Academia, the new original podcast about the unsolved murder of Stanford University founder Jane Stanford in 1905, and the cover-up that followed.  

In 1905, Jane Stanford, the founder of Stanford University, was mysteriously poisoned while on vacation in Hawaii. The wealthiest woman in the Bay Area, possibly the country at the time, was 76-years-old and had spent the latter part of her life pouring her fortune and her heart into a school that would become one of the most prestigious in the world. But her life, and the school's origins, were not all that they seemed. Written, reported, and narrated by Natalia Gurevich.   Editing, production, and sound design by Matt Pitman. Additional editing by Myron Kaplan, Managing Producer - Audacy Original Podcasts.

Beginning Monday, February 20th.  The story of Jane Stanford, one of the richest women in the country in 1905. But the life of Stanford University's founder was cut short — poisoned — and it wasn't the first attempt. In the weeks following her death, her innermost circle would collaborate in a messy coverup, ruling her death as natural. More than a century later, the university founded by Jane as a tribute to the ghost of her 15-year-old son, still hasn't acknowledged the darker parts of its past.

Leland & Jane Stanford created a legacy of higher learning and of patronizing the arts...funded through illicit activity. When Jane Stanford died everyone believed she died of natural causes, but about 100 years later the truth finally came out: Jane Stanford was murdered. But who did it? Why did they do it?

Życie Jane Stanford - filantropki i żona jednego z najbogatszych ludzi na świecie pod koniec XIX wieku, nie było usłane różami. Śmierć jej jedynego wyczekiwanego syna była ogromnym ciosem, ale doprowadziła również do założenia przez Jane i jej męża Uniwersytetu Stanforda. Kobieta nie cieszyła się sympatią ze strony osób ze swojego otoczenia i jej życie miało się zakończyć najprawdopodobniej z ręki jednego z jej wrogów.

Richard White is an historian of the United States specializing in the American West, the history of capitalism, environmental history, history and memory, and Native American history. His work has occasionally spilled over into Mexico, Canada, France, Australia and Ireland. He is a MacArthur Fellow and a recipient of the Mellon Distinguished Professor Award. His work has won numerous academic prizes, and he has twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His new book is Who Murdered Jane Stanford? It’s a murder mysterey, a vivid picture of the gilded age, and a palace intrigue story written by an eminent historian.

In 1885 Jane and Leland Stanford cofounded a university to honor their recently deceased young son. After her husband's death in 1893, Jane Stanford, a devoted spiritualist who expected the university to inculcate her values, steered Stanford into eccentricity and public controversy for more than a decade. In 1905 she was murdered in Hawaii, a victim, according to the Honolulu coroner's jury, of strychnine poisoning. With her vast fortune the university's lifeline, the Stanford president and his allies quickly sought to foreclose challenges to her bequests by constructing a story of death by natural causes. The cover-up gained traction in the murky labyrinths of power, wealth, and corruption of Gilded Age San Francisco. The murderer walked. Deftly sifting the scattered evidence and conflicting stories of suspects and witnesses, historian Richard White gives us the first full account of Jane Stanford's murder and its cover-up in Who Killed Jane Stanford?: A Gilded Age Tale of Murder, Deceit, Spirits, and the Birth of a University (W.W. Norton & Company, 2022). Against a backdrop of the city's machine politics, rogue policing, tong wars, and heated newspaper rivalries, White's search for the murderer draws us into Jane Stanford's imperious household and the academic enmities of the university. Although Stanford officials claimed that no one could have wanted to murder Jane, we meet several people who had the motives and the opportunity to do so. One of these, we discover, also had the means. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode, Ashley covers the story of Jane Stanford.

Penetrating the fog of the coverup surrounding the murder of Stanford University's cofounder, historian Richard White deftly sifts through the evidence and reconstructs the full story. In 1885 Jane Stanford and her husband, Leland Stanford, co-founded Stanford University in memory of their deceased son. After Leland's death in 1893, Jane steered the university and its policies into eccentricity and controversy for more than a decade. When she died in 1905, her vast fortune was still the university's lifeline. To foreclose challenges to her bequests, Stanford's president and his allies insisted it was death by natural causes. But it was a murder, by strychnine poisoning, and the culprit walked. Against a backdrop of San Francisco's machine politics, corrupt policing, tong wars, and heated newspaper rivalries, White's search for the murderer will draw you into Stanford's imperious household and the tumultuous politics at the university. And he reveals that, although several suspects had both motive and opportunity, only one had the means.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Richard White and Stanford alumni authors Angie Kim, Francine Mathews, and Professor Paul Goldstein

Today, Stanford is considered one of the top research universities in the world, but in 1905 after one of its co-founders, Jane Stanford, died, its future hung in the balance. To protect it, a group of powerful people spun a web of deception, obscuring the true cause of Jane Stanford's death, and quashing a police investigation before it could reveal uncomfortable truths.  Among those who have been working to untangle the mystery of this century-old cold case, historian Richard White, who has written about what he's found in his new book, "Who Killed Jane Stanford?" On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we discuss his findings and what they say about Stanford University's founding myths.  Guest: Richard White, professor emeritus of American history, Stanford University | author, "Who Killed Jane Stanford? A Gilded Age Tale of Murder, Deceit, Spirits, and the Birth of a University" Host: Keith Menconi 

Jane Stanford and her robber baron husband Leland founded what would become Stanford University in 1885. 20 years later Jane Stanford was murdered, poisoned by strychnine. Historian Richard White dives into the corruption and coverups shrouding the unsolved murder in his new book, “Who Killed Jane Stanford?” His book is both a true crime mystery and a history of the corruption, inequality, yellow journalism, pseudo-science and racism of California's Gilded Age. Forum talks with White about reviving a cold case more than a century old and the present day resonance of examining “the rich people who created monuments to themselves, and whose lives are reminders that the problem with philanthropy is very often philanthropists.”

Class Project Freshman Seminar History 50

Leland and Jane Stanford founded their university amidst the kinetic tumult of Gilded Age America. It was a time of swashbuckling capitalist ambition, let-‘er-rip financial finagling, and epic corruption. It was also a time of accelerating immigration, the rapid peopling and development of the great American West – and the golden age of American philanthropy, when so-called Robber Barons like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and the Stanfords' lavished their millions on building lasting institutions to serve the common weal (well before the tax code conferred any advantage for doing so). James Campbell and David Kennedy revisited that founding moment, exploring the ways in which the circumstances of Stanford's birth might give guidance to the university in its second century and beyond.

Investigations confirm she was poisoned by strychnine, but the case will never be solved. Someone got away with murder. Featuring the voice of STANFORD magazine editor Kevin Cool.
