  • The University at a Glance About the University Stanford University
    About the University Stanford University n October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on Ohand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusi- astically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford! Its wild and spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adventure. As a pioneer faculty member recalled, “Hope was in every heart, and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us to dare greatly.” For the Stanford’s on that day, the university was the real- ization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his sixteenth birthday. Far from the nation’s center of culture and unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university Millions of volumes are housed in many libraries throughout the campus. drew students from all over the country: many from California; some who followed professors hired from other colleges and universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West. Though there were many difficulties during the first months – housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in arriving from the East – the first year fore- told greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of Stanford University 1892, “Even our fondest hopes have been realized.” The University at a Glance About the University Stanford University Ideas of “Practical Education” Stanford People Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families of By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbers modest means and had built their way up through a life of approximately 1,700 – is one of the most distinguished in hard work.

  • Stanford University: a World-Class Legacy
    California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy Author’s Note: This article “California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy” is also a chapter in my travel guidebook/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebookin Chinese. Parallel coverage on Northern California occurs in my latest travel guidebook/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on myAmazon Author Page. By Lee Foster On October 1, 1891, Senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, officially opened Leland Stanford Junior University. The school became one of the premier institutions of higher education and loveliest campuses in the West. For today’s traveler, headed for the San Francisco region in Northern California, Stanford University is a cultural enrichment to consider including in a trip. The University owes its existence to a tragic death while the Stanford family was on a European Trip in Florence, Italy. After typhoid fever took their only child, a 15- year-old son, the Stanfords decided to turn their 8,200-acre stock farm into the Leland Stanford Junior University. They expressed their desire with the phrase that “the children of California may be our children.” Years later the cerebral establishment is still called by some “The Farm.” Leland Stanford had used the grounds to raise prize trotter racehorses, orchard crops, and wine grapes. The early faculty built homes in Palo Alto, one neighborhood of which became “Professorville.” In a full day of exploration you can visit the campus, adjacent Palo Alto, and the nearby Palo Alto Baylands marshes of San Francisco Bay, a delight to the naturalist.

  • 2017 Undergraduate Fellows
    2017 Undergraduate Fellows More than 400 Stanford students engaged in immersive service opportunities around the world during the summer of 2017. See a map illustrating where all of our Cardinal Quarter participants served. The students listed below are supported by the Haas Center for Public Service’s Undergraduate Fellowships Program. Advancing Gender Equity Fellow The Advancing Gender Equity Fellowship is a joint program with the Women's Community Center and enables students to learn about gender, diversity, and social justice through a summer practicum with a nonprofit organization or government agency addressing social, political, or economic issues affecting women. Jessica Reynoso, '20 (Public Policy); ACT for Women and Girls, Visalia, CA. Jessica worked closely with the Policy Director on several projects such as the Voter Engagement Campaign, which comprised of gathering, collating, and logging signatures for a petition, and phone banking registered voters in the Central Valley. Jessica managed teams who phone-banked, and identified which constituents needed to be followed up with for information regarding contacting their legislators and providing resources. Callan Showers, '19 (American Studies); Gender Justice, St. Paul, MN. As a legal intern at Gender Justice, a nonprofit legal and advocacy organization in St. Paul, Callan worked on everything from deposition summaries and discovery reviews to memos regarding transgender rights in schools and abortion access for women with public health insurance in Minnesota. She got an inside look into the legal field while also fighting for equal rights for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Made possible by individual donors to the Haas Center as part of the Cardinal Quarter program.

    The Flowering of Natural History Institutions in California Barbara Ertter Reprinted from Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences Volume 55, Supplement I, Article 4, pp. 58-87 Copyright © 2004 by the California Academy of Sciences Reprinted from PCAS 55(Suppl. I:No. 4):58-87. 18 Oct. 2004. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Volume 55, Supplement I, No. 4, pp. 58–87, 23 figs. October 18, 2004 The Flowering of Natural History Institutions in California Barbara Ertter University and Jepson Herbaria, University of California Berkeley, California 94720-2465; Email: [email protected] The genesis and early years of a diversity of natural history institutions in California are presented as a single intertwined narrative, focusing on interactions among a selection of key individuals (mostly botanists) who played multiple roles. The California Academy of Sciences was founded in 1853 by a group of gentleman schol- ars, represented by Albert Kellogg. Hans Hermann Behr provided an input of pro- fessional training the following year. The establishment of the California Geological Survey in 1860 provided a further shot in the arm, with Josiah Dwight Whitney, William Henry Brewer, and Henry Nicholas Bolander having active roles in both the Survey and the Academy. When the Survey foundered, Whitney diverted his efforts towards ensuring a place for the Survey collections within the fledgling University of California. The collections became the responsibility of Joseph LeConte, one of the newly recruited faculty. LeConte developed a shared passion for Yosemite Valley with John Muir, who he met through Ezra and Jeanne Carr. Muir also developed a friendship with Kellogg, who became estranged from the Academy following the contentious election of 1887, which was purportedly instigated by Mary Katherine Curran.
