David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 – September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University. He was a eugenicist and racist whose published views expressed a fear of "race-degeneration" and asserted that cattle and human beings are "governed by the same laws of selection." He was an ichthyologist during his research tenure. Prior to Stanford, he was president of Indiana University. Starr was also an antimilitarist who initially opposed U.S. involvement in World War I.
