Jane Stanford once remarked : " While my whole heart is in the university , my soul is in that church " . She died in 1905 , and so did not live to see the damage caused by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake . Her funeral took place in the church , which was called one of her most important accomplishments and " the truest reflection of her visionary leadership " , in March 1905 . Clergy from several religious traditions , including a Rabbi , a Presbyterian minister , a Methodist minister , an Episcopal bishop , and a Baptist minister , officiated at the service
