detail

Leland Stanford Junior University was founded by railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, then senator and governor of California, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, to commemorate the death of their son (Leland Stanford Junior) due to typhoid fever on the eve of his 16 birthday. Leland Stanford once said to his wife, "All children in California will be our children in the future." In June of the same year 10, the class officially started. On the opening day, President David Starr Jordan (former president of Indiana University in Bloomington) addressed the first group of students: "Stanford has no tradition and is not hindered by any tradition. All the road signs inside point straight ahead. " In addition to the campus structure, the Stanford couple also attached other regulations: implementing an education system to guide students to find the ideal they want to pursue after graduation, so that they can hear the call for the meaning of life in their hearts; All sectarian instructions in schools are forbidden, but spiritual education is still needed. It is necessary to tell students that it is the responsibility of human beings to obey the rules set by the all-powerful and loving creator. Teaching the benefits of cooperation and group organization; Give gender fair and equal resources and treatment; Maintain the operation of a farm in Palo Alto and provide basic agricultural science education for students from all departments of the university. This university has been a coeducational school since its establishment. However, the university has at most about 500 female students. Later 1933, university admission 3: 1 ratio of male to female (undergraduate). This ratio remained until the 1960s, when the ratio of male to female undergraduates began to shrink to about 2: 1. Until 2005, the university abolished the ratio of male to female students. On 1903, the university was praised by US President theodore roosevelt: "Now, I have come to such a great institution. I don't know if you have seen its beauty. Your university is carefully designed by such an excellent architect who is loyal to our American style. His design is not blindly following the fashion, but applying the ancient California style to the architecture of the new university. A university with such a unique appearance, coupled with the geographical pattern of the canyon and the beautiful sky, coupled with these beautiful buildings, will be very disappointed if it does not become the most suitable place for citizens and academic development. " Around 1905, the university was donated by the Stanford couple's 40 million legacy (equivalent to 20 10 years 10 billion dollars). 193 1 year, the school and Harvard University held the first inter-school radio debate competition. 1945 after the second world war, various majors and departments of universities developed rapidly.

His encouragement came into effect with the establishment of Hewlett-Packard and Varian United Company, until Silicon Valley developed rapidly near Stanford campus. Therefore, Frederick is often called "the father of Silicon Valley". He also encouraged william shockley to return to his hometown of Palo Alto, and William later founded the shockley Transistor Laboratory.
