Stanford University
Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly known as Stanford University (or Stanford only), is a private university located approximately 60 miles southeast of San Francisco and approximately 30 miles northeast of San Jose in Santa Clara County areas that have not inaugurated as a city. Stanford is located near the city of Palo Alto, California, United States right in the heart of Silicon Valley, both geographically and historically.
Stanford University is located on the campus of the university's second-largest in the world, and comprises the School of Engineering, Law, Medicine, Education, Business, Earth Sciences, and Humanities and Science. The university has a number of programs and a teaching hospital in addition to various activities and initiatives reach out to community volunteers.
Stanford was founded by the king rail, California Governor, Senator and Republican Party Chairman Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Stanford. The university is named in honor of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr.. who died of typhus just a few days before the birthday-16. On the morning of the death of their son, Leland Sr.. reportedly told his wife, "Children in California will be our children." and they immediately decided to seek a lasting way to commemorate their beloved child.
Stanford family visited several large university in the east to gather ideas. A legend, widespread on the internet but it is not true, describing the couple Stanford as the villagers who decided to build their own university after being rejected its bid to award a building to Harvard. They visited the President of Harvard but was well received and given advice how to start a university in California. From the outset they made some non-traditional choices: the university will be mixed, at a time when most men all; non-religious, when most associated with religious organizations and practical frankly, producing "cultured citizens and useful" when most only concerned with its predecessor.
Local community and those affiliated with the university is calling the school as the Ranch, which refers to the fact that the university is located at the former location of Leland Stanford's horse farm.
University construction fund was written on 11 November 1885 and accepted by the university's first Board of Trustees on November 14. Laying the first stone made on May 14, 1887 and the university was officially opened on October 1, 1891. New York newspaper forecast that Professor Stanford will "teach in a marble hall to the empty chair" proven wrong. The first pupil consisted of 559 students, with free tuition and 15 lecturers, 7 of which came from Cornell University. This school was established for both men and women, although for long periods of acceptance of his students is limited. This was not caused by anti-female sentiment, but because of concerns on the part of Jane Stanford, who felt that without restrictions, this school will soon be full of students, which he considered incompatible with the original intention to make this university as a memorial to her son . The first president was David Jordans, a graduate of Cornell, who left his post as president of Indiana University to join the adventure out West.
Stanford University's official motto, chosen by the husband and wife Stanford, is "Die Luft der Freiheit weht." Citations in the German language is derived from Ulrich von Hutten means "The wind of freedom blows." At the time the school was founded, the German language has just replaced Latin as the dominant language of science and philosophy (this position is maintained until the outbreak of World War II).
The Stanfords involves Frederick Law Olmsted, the famous landscape architect who created New York's Central Park, to design the physical plan of the university. Collaboration is debated, but ultimately resulted in two corners on the east-west axis. Today, as Stanford continues to grow, university architect trying to respect the original plan of the university.
Area of Stanford University is 32 km ². Its main campus is limited by the El Camino Real Stanford Avenue, Junipero Serra Boulevard and Sand Hill Road in the northwestern part of Santa Clara Valley in the San Francisco Peninsula. In the summer of 1886, when the campus was first designed, Stanford presents the president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Francis Amasa Walker, and prominent Boston landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to the west coast to provide consultation. Olmsted mengemangkan a general concept for the campus and its buildings. He refused to have proof the-hill and prefer a flat surface, which is more practical. Charles Allerton Coolidge then developed this concept by the late style of his mentor, Henry Hobson Richardson in Romanesk Richardsonian style, characterized by rectangular stone buildings of four, which are connected by corridors roofed with an arch after the circle. Original campus was also designed with Spanish colonial style common to California known as Mission Revival.
Stanford has consistently been in the ranks of the world's best universities, both in terms of teaching as well as research. U.S. Magazine News and World Report (USNWR) puts Stanford in five world rankings for undergraduate programs in 2009. Stanford also placed at 3 in the world rankings for the best research universities by the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) in 2010. Another agency, the Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings, to put Stanford in the 4th position as the world's best research universities in 2010.
