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.
