I am pretty sure that if you go to Stanfords website their will be a course catalog. Good Luck! Stanford is pretty impressive!!
The Bristol Gorillas were only around for summer 2011. They've been auctioned off raising £400,000. There is a new one at Stanfords on Corn Street though - take a look
Yes, it's true that Leland and Jane Stanford attempted to donate money to an Ivy League institution, specifically Harvard University, to establish a building in memory of their son, Leland Stanford Jr. However, they were turned down due to the university's refusal to create a separate school of agriculture. Disappointed, the Stanfords decided to use their resources to establish their own university, which became Stanford University in 1885.
Leland Stanford was the founder of Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. He was one of eight children. His brothers were named Asa, Dewitt, Charles, Josiah, Thomas and Jerome. He had one sister, named Elvera.
verts is saber aguras is tangler sherman and spinners is buster and stanfords is the rever and i dont know zooms though and have you ever thought that its funny how they all end in -er well leave it up to an 11 year old to find that out ;)
Stanford's "mascot" is the color Cardinal. The Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band's (LSJUMB) mascot is the tree. Each individual selected by the band to be tree builds their own costume using their own interpretation of what the tree should look like-- it has been a pine, but also a palm.
Stanford's fight song is called "Come Join the Band." It was written in 1913 by the university's band and has become a staple at athletic events and school spirit gatherings. The song encourages unity and enthusiasm among students and fans, embodying the spirit of Stanford University. Its catchy melody and lyrics celebrate the pride of being a Cardinal.
http://www.stanford.edu/home/stanford/history/begin.html You may have heard a story that a lady in "faded gingham" (Jane Stanford) and a man dressed in a "homespun threadbare suit" (Leland Stanford) went to visit the president of Harvard, were rebuffed, and as a result, went on to found their own university in Palo Alto. This untrue story is an urban myth, and Stanford's archivist has prepared a response for those desiring more information: For what it is worth, there was a book written by the then Harvard president's son that may have started the twist on actual events. Leland Stanford Junior was just short of his 16th birthday when he died of typhoid fever in Florence, Italy on March 13, 1884. He had not spent a year at Harvard before his death, nor was he "accidentally killed." Following Leland Junior's death, the Stanfords determined to found an institution in his name that would serve the "children of California." Detained on the East Coast following their return from Europe, the Stanfords visited a number of universities and consulted with the presidents of each. The account of their visit with Charles W. Eliot at Harvard is actually recounted by Eliot himself in a letter sent to David Starr Jordan (Stanford's first president) in 1919. At the point the Stanfords met with Eliot, they apparently had not yet decided about whether to establish a university, a technical school or a museum. Eliot recommended a university and told them the endowment should be $5 million. Accepted accounts indicate that Jane and Leland looked at each other and agreed they could manage that amount. The thought of Leland and Jane, by this time quite wealthy, arriving at Harvard in a faded gingham dress and homespun threadbare suit is quite entertaining. And, as a former governor of California and well-known railroad baron, they likely were not knowingly kept waiting for too long outside Eliot's office. The Stanfords also visited Cornell, MIT and Johns Hopkins. The Stanfords established two institutions in Leland Junior's name -- the University and the Museum, which was originally planned for San Francisco, but moved to adjoin the university.
