History
The origins and early years (1885-1906)
555 University students officially opened on October 1, 1891. Founders university's opening day, David Starr Jordan (1851-1931) Stanford Pioneer Class said: "[Stanford] because there is no tradition blessed, hampered by full none of all the highlights of his fingers posts .." However, before the very opening 1905 in recent founder Jane Stanford, death and continued for many years until destroyed in the 1906 earthquake.
Foundations
along with his wife Jane Lathrop Stanford Stanford, Leland Stanford, a railroad king, was founded by US Senator and former California Governor. It just died from typhoid fever in 1884, before the age of 16, his only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., was named in his honor. Her family decided to dedicate a university to their only son, and Leland Stanford told his wife, "California children will be our children." Stanfords visited Harvard president Charles Eliot and asks if you need to establish a university or technical school museum. Eliot stated that it would be a $ 5 million donation to the university and not enough need. (1884 dollars about $ 132 million today
Leland Stanford, the university's founder, is now on display at the Cantor Center as painted by Jean-Louis-Ernest missionaries in 1881
Stanfords university's founding grant from the Endowment was released in November 1885 to define the operational structure of the university, as well as various special provisions were made:
"... The Board has the authority, and will be their task:
In such University, if it is not followed, some beneficial reasons for students pursuing undergraduate suitable for this purpose and to establish and maintain an education system, which may be easily, especially search ads, which they want to keep alive; ...
instructions to ban the sect, but to teach the immortality of the soul University, he is the presence of an all-wise and beneficent Creator is the highest duty of the obedience to the laws and human.
The right to be taught in universities and organizations, and cooperation advantages.
equal opportunities and equal consideration to the advantages obtained from the University for both sexes.
Palo Alto Dating in all branches to maintain a farm for agricultural education. "
Although the university's trustees general officers, as founder Leland and Jane Stanford maintains a large control until their death.
1899 Jane Stanford, despite remaining founding mission to be a co-educational institution, "never University students would like the number of women participating at all in excess of five hundred" legal requirements founder Grant added. He said, "West Vassar" women who will lead the school into many feared, and I felt it would not be an appropriate memorial for her son. Female ratio of 3: in 1933, men need to specify a license reinterpreted by the trustees. 1 3 "Stanford ratio": 1 remained in place until 1960. other than human, to the undergraduate level 1 license, but much more skewed: by the late 1960s "ratio" was about 2. University trustees in 1973 for the abolition of restrictions formally successfully petitioned the courts. men and women at the undergraduate level (38.2% female, 61.8% male), though outnumbered, 2014 undergraduate enrollment, gender (47.2% female, 52.8% male) is shared between approximately equal. [60] [61] Similarly, the petition also removed the ban on sectarian worship on campus (Stanford Memorial Church is not connected to the previous one sect of Christian worship were allowed).
Physical layout
Universities often to this day, "Farm" and so called Stanfords, the university's location in northern Santa Clara County, real estate own country, we chose Palo Alto Stock Farm. [Note 4]
campus master plan (1886-1914) was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and later his sons. Main Quad by Charles Allerton Coolidge, and Leland Stanford and his friends have been designed by himself. Vehicles Leland Stanford Junior's ninth birthday would be on May 14, 1887 have been taken
The campus was first being planned in the summer of 1886, in the western Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford consultations in order to make Francis Amasa Walker, and prominent Boston landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted brought the president. develop a general feel for the campus and more practical in favor of a slope Olmsted springs refuse site buildings. Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge Boston firm was hired in the fall and Charles Allerton Coolidge then developed this concept in his late mentor, Henry Hobson Richardson's style. Richardsoni semicircular arch Romanesque style characterized by rectangular stone buildings linked by arcades, combined with California Mission Revival style by the Stanfords requested. However, by 1889, Coolidge, and Leland Stanford Olmsted and connection severed affairs red tile roofs and solid sandstone walls California region is significant and complementary partner famous bright blue sky view. It was continued by others and follow the pattern of the new campus building most of the Quad at Stanford distinctive "look" that buff-colored walls, red roofs and arcades
Early faculty and management
Spring 1891 Stanfords Cornell University, Andrew White was offered the presidency of the new president of the university, but he refused and David Starr Jordan, president of Indiana University Bloomington's 40-year-old is recommended. Jordan's philosophy of education is not connected to a denomination with a liberal arts curriculum, co-educational school, Stanford was a good fit with the vision and he accepted the offer. Jordan arrived at Stanford in June 1891 and immediately set about the work of the university faculty for the planned October opening. With such a short time that their academic acquaintance drew heavily; Fifteen of the original professors, most came from either Indiana University or his alma mater Cornell. 1891 founding professor of physiology and histology math Robert Allardice, botanical Douglas Houghton Campbell, zoology Charles Henry Gilbert, the history of George Elliott Howard, Oliver Peebles Jenkins, including Charles David civil engineering Marx, physical Fernando Sanford, and Maxson Stillman John chemistry. The total initial teaching staff, including about 35 instructors and lecturers numbered. [68] Second (1892-1893) for the school year, Jordan Frank Angell (psychology), Leander M. Hoskins (including 29 was able to add an additional professor of mechanical engineering), William Henry Hudson (English), Walter Miller (classics) George C. Price (zoology) and Arly on B. (date). Stanford remained until his retirement in most of the two founders of the group of professors and "Old Guard" was referred to as.
Edward Alsworth Ross gained fame as a founding father of American sociology; In 1900, Jane Stanford pave the way for a major academic freedom case, radicalism and racism fired him.
Early financial
Statue of the Stanford family by Larkin Mead, G., (1899)
When Leland Stanford died in 1893, it was in danger of the continued existence of the university. A $ 15 million lawsuit against the government in 1893 along with Stanford estate panic, made it extremely difficult to meet the expenses. The Board of Trustees may be advised that most financial lined up University temporarily closed. However, Jane Stanford insisted continue to run. When the case eventually fell in 1895, a university holiday was declared. Stanford graduate George graduated from E. Crothers 1896 at Stanford Law SchoolThe study follows Jane Stanford was a close advisor to his (also a Stanford graduate and lawyer) brother Thomas Crothers determined and very important for the university's founding grant legal defects corrected and successful property-tax exemption given to their training at Stanford California state constitutional amendment to change the backstage Jane Stanford universities are allowed to donate one of his stock holdings.
Jane Stanford actions were sometimes eccentric. In 1897. "Students are on earth anyone born of a spirit of microbes and development of that life Eternal life here and to everything he taught that it depends a lot" board of trustees has directed [76] One drawing students has banned the life-drawing class naked models, campus banned cars and that people Stanford is unhealthy not to create the impression that the hospital did not allow to be built. University faculty and students self-sufficient while living in poverty between 1899 and 1905, he spent $ 3 million on a grand construction plans Stanford luxury monument built to his family.
However, overall, Jane Stanford has made significant contributions to the university. Faced with the possibility of financial ruin institutions, universities 1893-1905 he also financial, it was responsible for the administration and development. Over the next few years, he even pawning her jewelry to keep going to the university, paid the salaries of its personal resources. She left him about $ 4 million to $ 7 million remaining universities, upon his death in 1905 In 1901, that university, assets of $ 30 million, almost all of its remaining assets transferred. In total, over $ 1 billion dollars to Stanford in 2010, university assets donated about $ 40 million.

Stanford Library after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake unfinished ruins
Jane Stanford death after year, even though 1906 San Francisco earthquake damaged parts of the campus and campus only two people were killed, led to new financial and structural problems. Especially in 1893, Leland Stanford death and some of the early construction of the second phase between Jane Stanford died in 1905, was destroyed by an earthquake. Protects University Quad, a part of the Museum, the old Chemistry Building, (not currently in use, is boarded in 1986, then 1989 Loma damage Prieta earthquake and is now preparing for the reopening undergoing an extensive renovation) and ( then male undergraduate dormitory) Encina Hall. Earthquake Memorial Church and the first school in the original replica at the entrance gate as well as a significant part of the main Quad parts, including the main library was built, was destroyed. immediately it began rebuilding a little less grand scale.
University of San Francisco in 1908 and acquired existing Cooper Medical College in San Francisco until the late 1950s, though the Stanford University School of Medicine Department (later school) was. Stanford Medical History to see the full story.
Jordan, the first president, resigned in 1913 and two years later by John Casper Brann. Brann under President Herbert Hoover, except when taking leave office as Minister of the Interior, in 1916, was president until 1943, Ray Lyman Wilbur, followed. Hoover along with his wife, Lou Henry Hoover, was among the first graduates of Stanford. Herbert Hoover, also was the university's board of trustees. Lou Henry Hoover House as his residence in the house built on the campus, after Lou Henry Hoover's death in 1944, was the home of the university president.
The Second World War and the end of the 20th century]
Ray Lyman Wilbur World War, Donald Tresidd is, after retiring in 1943, in the midst of the President of the Board of Trustees, Wallace Sterling President (1949-1968) was in 1949, early in 1948, took over as president until the unexpected death and that the United States' most prestigious one of the university Stanford led the rise as a regional university. It is only 19 months, as university students stepped entered the most turbulent periods of time has passed, Kenneth Pitzer protest at Rice University. Richard Lyman, former IRA in 1971, was president until 1980; Donald Kennedy when he resigned amid a controversy over the US Government fiscal was also a former police chief in 1980 until 1992. Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago was chairman until 2000, a stranger, brought Gerhard Casper.
High-tech
A strong sense of regional solidarity accompanied the rise of Silicon Valley. 1890s, the university's leaders saw its mission as service to the West and shaped the school accordingly. At the same time, the eastern interests in the hands of the perceived exploitation of the West stepped up to build self-sufficient indigenous local industry booster similar initiatives. Thus regionalism Stanford interests with those of high-tech companies in the region during the first fifty years of the development of Silicon Valley helped harmonize. In the first half of the 20th century West's distinctive regional ethos of a substance already prepared environment of Silicon Valley, is a component of the replicators will-ignore at their peril.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Frederick Terman, as dean of engineering and later as provost, encouraged faculty and graduates to start their own companies. Or how Hewlett-Packard to become Silicon Valley grew up around the Stanford campus, Varian Associates, and other high-tech firms is credited with feeding. Terman often called "the father of Silicon Valley" is called. [82] William B. Shockley Terman Palo Alto to return to his hometown, co-inventor of the transistor, was encouraged. Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory was founded in 1956. He says the company [83] Miserable staff Fair Fair children's children eventually spun off founded Shockley Semiconductor and other companies.
Biology
Due to the research focus of the Cold War and the biological sciences department has changed as other historically significant conditions external academic 1972 1946 developed rapidly. Stanford science experimental direction during that time has passed through three stages. In the early part of the 1950s collaboration between disciplines and shunning excessive government funding, classic, independent and self-directed research mode it has remained constant. Between the 1950s and 1960s, it has shifted the focus of biological research at the molecular level. Then, from the late 1960s onward, Stanford was the target of the end of the human right to apply research findings. Each phase as the escalation of the Cold War, the major social issues such as space, Sputnik, and public concern over medical abuses, was preempted by.
Physics
negotiations in 1962 and 1970. Stanford Positron Electron Asymmetric Ring proposed 1970 construction on the Cambridge Electron Accelerator Laboratory (shared by Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and took place between the United States Atomic Energy Commission (LANCE). This is the first US electron-positron colliding beam storage ring will be. (2001) in Paris two university laboratories across explores the competition and cooperation and diagrams of the proposed facility for five years, the position factor was built detailed graphs and in Europe in 1967 and 1970 various rings in the lower to obtain funding for this project presented the parameters of different project proposals, but a superior design that quickly built an extensive project revisions resulted and Burton Richter and Martin Perl in 1995 paved the way for the Nobel prize in 1976.During 1955-85, solid state technology research and development at Stanford University, private companies, especially the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Shockley Semiconductor, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Xerox PARC followed three waves of industrial innovation possible support. Stanford Research Institute in 1969, the ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet consisting operated one of the four original nodes.
Civil rights
Stanford has never officially accepted black students, despite the ban, Asian or Native American people, he was not treated equally with those considered to be white. There is also discrimination against non-Christians. (The first black graduate Ernest Houston Johnson took economics degree was in 1895).
stating that the Board of Trustees has adopted a policy in 1957:
"The university is against discriminatory racial and religious rules and practices. Such provisions or applications are currently available, as so far, we will work actively with student groups to eliminate them from the University at the earliest possible date"
The university, though relatively easy to directly control matter, its membership (currently there are no Associations on campus) had invited to work with the fraternities. In 1960, Tai Alpha Omega chapter. National charter revoked after refusing to back the promise of four Jewish students had 1962 Sigma Nu (Beta Chi chapter) fall left the national organization over its refusal continuation of the national organization "Negros and Eastern" bans. Kappa Alpha fraternity is still officially only national organization in the rules discriminated late as 1962. However, in April 1965 the local Sigma Chi chapter said Kenneth M. suspended for alleged violation of rules and rituals on Washington. although Sigma Chi officially then all members are supposed to by the national committee and approval was needed facility had removed any whites politics in 1961 considered the social pledges anywhere other members. [94] President Sterling after the Sigma Chi chapter in 1964 supports the local chapter of the Civil Rights Act and the race may violate recognition University of discriminatory group mark by sending a letter to the presidents of universities, poor grades Kenneth Washington, part of the already much needed to resign. continued suspension. Stanford section in November 1966 severed ties with the national fraternity unanimously.
University of minorities began to work actively in the 1960s. Minorities organized and started "within five years, students six major social organizations founded: in 1967, the Black Student Union (BSU), Asian American Student Association (Aase) and in 1969 Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (Mecha), Stanford Indians Organization in 1970 ( SAIO) Gay People's Union in 1971 and the Women's Collective in 1972. "
Government expenditures discussion
In the early 1990s, Stanford University inappropriate housing, personal expenses, travel, entertainment, fundraising and investment and other activities not related to research, including an elaborate wedding on allegations that several million dollar bills to the government was investigated by the US government ceremonies. At the end of the scandal, an agreement with the government $ 1,350,000 returned Office of Naval Research for the bill occurred in Stanford in 1992 which led to Stanford President Donald Kennedy resigned in 1981 and in 1992 In addition, government Stanford next year by $ 23 million settlement has reduced the annual research budget.

James H. Clark Center at Stanford University
John L. Hennessy in October 2000 [102] University was appointed as the Chairman under 10 and has expanded its university. In February of 2012, he announced the results of the Stanford Challenge. In a five-year period, Stanford history making it the most successful fundraising campaign in university, the first goal by exceeding $ 2000000000, 6200000000 $ lifted. fund 103 new faculty appointments equipped, 360 graduate students will go towards research fellowships, scholarships and financial aid, and the construction or renovation of 38 campus buildings. new funding stem cell research in the world's largest facility dedicated to building effective; a completely new business school campus; a dramatic expansion of the faculty of law; Four new engineering; building a new art and art history; a campus concert hall; A new art museum; and other things as well as medical schools, a planned expansion. In 2012, Stanford University, Stanford Center Beijing, nearly 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) at the Beijing University campus, opened a three-story research center. The ceremony was attended Stanford President John Hennessy China Gary Locke and US Ambassador explanation took place. Stanford has its own building in a Chinese university campus became the first American university.
Other Stanford programs, Woodley Park, Washington, DC, Washington Art Gallery at Stanford Washington program was created in Stanford and the Palazzo Capponi 15th century as a Renaissance movement palace Stanford Florence program, as well as expanded significantly. university benefactor, Netscape, Silicon Graphics and WebMD and electrical engineering James H. Clark, former professor of the founders of the name in 2003 in the engineering and medical fields in interdisciplinary research, James H. Clark Center was completed.
In 2011, Stanford has created the first doctoral program in stem cell science in the United States. The program is located at the Stanford School of Medicine.
Licenses were also considered to be more selective; acceptance rate, a low rate for the history of the University in 2019 admitted class of 5.04% for the class of 2004 fell 13%. Stanford reputation, competitive accept and entrepreneurship has contributed to strong heritage of East-West Stanford and Harvard University, Princeton University, and competition between institutions such as Yale University.
In June 2015 Hennessy to return to education and research announced in September 2016 that he would resign. currently president of the University of the next president of Rockefeller University in February 2016 Marc Tessier-Lavigne, would be announced.
Stanford land
In 2008, Stanford remember sandstone colored exteriors of many of the aerial photo red roofs and buildings in the center of campus.

Faculty housing
One of the benefits of being a Stanford faculty members, faculty members can live within walking or biking on campus "Faculty Ghetto" is. [128] Faculty Ghetto is composed of land entirely by Stanford. an apartment in a similar way, the houses can be bought and sold but leased land under a 99-year lease of the house. "Ghetto" appreciate and depreciate the house, but not as rapidly as overall Silicon Valley values. However, the owner of the property remains an expensive area and the average price of single-family homes on campus is actually higher than in Palo Alto. Stanford itself, not by the university although its founder conditions to sell their land, Silicon Valley has a quick capital gain of land owners.
Other uses
Some land, the Stanford Shopping Center and managed in order to provide revenue for universities such as Stanford Research Park. Gunn High School in Palo Alto and Stanford land at a token by the Palo Alto Unified School District for many schools, including the School is leased rent.
