It was founded in 1885 by railroad magnate Leland Stanford, the eighth governor of and then-incumbent senator from California, and his wife, Jane, in memory of their only child, Leland Jr.[2]The university admitted its first students in 1891,[2][3] opening as a coeducational and non-denominationalinstitution. It struggled financially after Leland's death in 1893 and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[13] Following World War II, university provost Frederick Terman inspired an entrepreneurial culture in order to build a self-sufficient local industry (Silicon Valley).[14]Stanford is one of the most successful universities worldwide in attracting funding for start-up companies and in also licensing its inventions to existing businesses.[15][16][17][18][19] Alumni have founded numerous corporations, which when combined equal the tenth-largest economy in the world.[20] In 1951, the Stanford Research Park was established in Palo Alto and is the world's first university research park.[21] By 2021, the university had 2,288 tenure-line faculty, senior fellows, center fellows, and medical faculty on staff.[22]The university is organized around seven schools of study on an 8,180-acre (3,310-hectare) campus, one of the largest in the nation.[6] It houses the Hoover Institution, a public policy think tank, and is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[23] Students compete in 36 varsity sports, and the university is one of seven private institutions in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Stanford has won 131 NCAA team championships,[24] and was awarded the NACDA Directors' Cup for 25 consecutive years, beginning in 1994.[25] Stanford students and alumni have also won over 302 Olympic medals (including 153 gold).[26]Stanford is also the alma mater of several world leaders, including President of the United States, Herbert Hoover, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Prime Minister of Japan, Yukio Hatoyama. The university is associated with 74 living billionaires,[27] 58 Nobel laureates,[22] 33 MacArthur Fellows,[22] 29 Turing Award winners,[note 1] as well as 7 Wolf Foundation Prize recipients and 4 Pulitzer Prize winners.[22] Additionally, it is a producer of Fulbright Scholars, Marshall Scholars, Gates Cambridge Scholars, Rhodes Scholars, and members of the United States Congress.[48]HistoryStatue of the Stanford family on the Stanford University campusMain article: History of Stanford UniversityStanford University was founded in 1885 by Leland and Jane Stanford, dedicated to the memory of Leland Stanford Jr., their only child. The institution opened in 1891 on Stanford's previous Palo Alto farm. The Stanfords modeled their university after the great Eastern universities, specifically Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Stanford was referred to as the "Cornell of the West" in 1891 due to a majority of its faculty being former Cornell affiliates, including its first president, David Starr Jordan, and second president, John Casper Branner. Both Cornell and Stanford were among the first to make higher education accessible, non-sectarian, and open to women as well as men. Cornell is credited as one of the first American universities to adopt that radical departure from traditional education, and Stanford became an early adopter as well.[49]Center of the campus in 1891[50]From an architectural point of view, the Stanfords wanted their university to look different and sought to emulate the style of English university buildings. They specified in the founding grant that the buildings should "be like the old adobe houses of the early Spanish days; they will be one-storied; they will have deep window seats and open fireplaces, and the roofs will be covered with the familiar dark red tiles."[51] The Stanfords also hired renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who previously designed the Cornell campus, to design the Stanford campus.[52]Ichthyologist and founding president of Stanford, David Starr JordanWhen Leland Stanford died in 1893, the continued existence of the university was in jeopardy due to a federal lawsuit against his estate, but Jane Stanford insisted the university remain in operation throughout the financial crisis.[53][54] The university suffered major damage from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake; most of the damage was repaired, but a new library and gymnasium were demolished, and some original features of Memorial Church and the Quad were never restored.[55] During the early-20th century, the university added four professional graduate schools. Stanford University School of Medicinewas established in 1908 when the university acquired Cooper Medical College in San Francisco;[56] it moved to the Stanford campus in 1959.[57]The university's law department, established as an undergraduate curriculum in 1893, was transitioned into a professional law school starting in 1908 and received accreditation from the American Bar Association in 1923.[58] The Stanford University Graduate School of Education grew out of the Department of the History and Art of Education, one of the original twenty-one departments at Stanford, and became a professional graduate school in 1917.[59] The Stanford Graduate School of Businesswas founded in 1925 at the urging of then-trustee Herbert Hoover.[60] In 1919, The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace was started by Herbert Hoover to preserve artifacts related to World War I. The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, established in 1962, performs research in particle physics.[61]In the 1940s and 1950s, Frederick Terman, an engineering professor who later became provost, encouraged Stanford engineering graduates to start their own companies and invent products.[62] During the 1950s, he established Stanford Industrial Park, a high-tech commercial campus on university land.[63] Also in the 1950s, William Shockley, co-inventor of the silicon transistor, recipient of the 1956 Nobel Prize for Physics, and later professor of physics at Stanford, moved to the Palo Alto area and founded a company, Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. The next year, eight of his employees resigned and formed a competing company, Fairchild Semiconductor. The presence of so many high-tech and semiconductor firms helped to establish Stanford and the mid-Peninsula as a hotbed of innovation, eventually named Silicon Valley after the key ingredient in transistors.[64] Shockley and Terman are both often described as the "fathers of Silicon Valley".[65][66]William Shockley, Stanford professor, Nobel laureate in physics, "Father of Silicon Valley"In the 1950s, Stanford intentionally reduced and restricted Jewish admissions, and for decades, denied and dismissed claims from students, parents, and alumni that they were doing so.[67] Stanford issued its first institutional apology to the Jewish community in 2022 after an internal task force confirmed that the university deliberately discriminated against Jewish applicants, while also misleading those who expressed concerns, including students, parents, alumni, and the ADL.[68][69] Stanford was once considered a school for "the wealthy",[70] but controversies in later decades damaged its reputation. The 1971 Stanford prison experiment was criticized as unethical,[71] and the misuse of government funds from 1981 resulted in severe penalties for the school's research funding,[72][73] and the resignation of President Donald Kennedy in 1992.[74]In the 1960s, Stanford rose from a regional university to one of the most prestigious in the United States, "when it appeared on lists of the "top ten" universities in America... This swift rise to performance [was] understood at the time as related directly to the university's defense contracts..."[75] Wallace Sterling was the President from 1949 to 1968 and he oversaw the growth of Stanford from a financially troubled regional university to a financially sound, internationally recognized academic powerhouse, "the Harvard of the West".[76] Achievements during Sterling's tenure included:Moving the Stanford Medical School from a small, inadequate campus in San Francisco to a new facility on the Stanford campus which was fully integrated into the university to an unusual degree for medical schools.[76]Establishing the Stanford Industrial Park (now the Stanford Research Park) and the Stanford Shopping Center on leased University land, thus stabilizing the university's finances. The Stanford Industrial Park, together with the university's aggressive pursuit of government research grants, helped to spur the development of Silicon Valley.[76]Increasing the number of students receiving financial aid from less than 5% when he took office to more than one-third when he retired.[76]Increasing the size of the student body from 8,300 to 11,300 and the size of the tenured faculty from 322 to 974.[76]Launching the PACE fundraising program, the largest such program ever undertaken by any university up to that time.[76]Launching a building boom on campus that included a new bookstore, post office, student union, dormitories, a faculty club, and many academic buildings.[76]Creating the Overseas Campus program for undergraduates in 1958.[76] _______________________________________________________________________________________________ We strive to find rare and unusual vintage pieces to match up with your special collection.
