The iconic tower swathed in yellow and blue on Stanford’s campus Friday was meant to remind the community of the “hope that resides in the hearts of free peoples,” the lives lost and hope for a peaceful outcome to the unfolding tragedy, Rice wrote.

It is policy not to use tower illumination to mark catastrophic world events, since there would “sadly be too many to accommodate,” Rice added. However, after consultation with President Marc Tessier-Lavigne, they agreed it would be appropriate in this case, “because of the special place of Ukraine in Hoover’s history, together with the world-shattering nature and scale of this unprovoked war of aggression, and the breathtaking assault it represents on the democratic order, which Hoover, in its founding mission seeks to safeguard.”
