Dr. Jordan, President of Indiana University for six years and first President of Stanford University for twenty five, with more than fifty books and 1.000 papers, needs no introduction among botanists and zoologists specialised in ictiology. The Spanish translator did not pay attention to any of those works but rather to The Human Harvest (1912) and Unseen Empire (1914). In the formen, Jordan studies the war effects on humanity and in the la tter, the countries' impoverishment due to war confrontations. One should not forget that in that year of 1914 the bloody First World War started.The translator of both books was Aurelio Macedonio Espinosa founder of the Department of Spanish Studies at Stanford University. In the present paper we are trying to find out why and for whom Espinosa translated these two works shortly after they were first published in English and being the only referentes to Dr. Jordan both in Spain and Latin America.
