Explanation:
Appearances
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus." The president wasn't touched—he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
And the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

I need 3 pieces of information from the Article ( Women's Rights of Elizabeth Cady Stanton ) that can be new for me. I NEED HELP ASAP!!
Answer:
Three pieces of information that were new to me were:
Stanton's ability to argue, once, that women were not encouraged to do this, nor did they receive adequate education to form arguments as punctual as Stanton did. The abolitionist character of her words. The likelihood that black men would win the right to vote first than white and black women.Explanation:
As we all know, Stanton is one of the big names associated with the feminist movement worldwide. Stanton took a strong stand in defense of women's rights, despite having received a basic education and being a wife and mother. She took care of all her household chores and still got time to argue in an acid and notorious way about how women deserved to have their rights guaranteed. In addition, she was a great abolitionist, seeking rights for black women as well, mainly the right to vote, as she felt it was unfair that the right to vote was given to black men, while black and white women could not have that right.
