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.

Do you have an extra $15? That is what the Harvard Registrar's Office expects you to shell out to learn if someone is a fraud or true alumnus/alumnae. Harvard had contracted with "National Student Clearinghouse" to charge for what was previously free information that protected their reputation and the general public from grifters.

no. but a graduate by the name of Whitney Stone represented USA in the 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1972 olympisc but came home with no medals.

The lower the better......13:1 is considered very good, 16:1 is average, 18:1 is poor!

umm

Nowadays, only 10% of students graduate magna cum laude or higher. It was substantially easier to get magna a few years ago.

Approximately 1,900 students attend HLS each year: 1,680 J.D. students, 160 LL.M. students, and 50 S.J.D. candidates. The faculty includes 92 full-time professors and more than 150 visiting professors, lecturers on law, and instructors. The curriculum features more than 260 courses and seminars that cover a broad range of traditional and emerging legal fields.

The average GPA of incoming freshman at William and Mary is a 4.0. While this may seem daunting for some, a powerful application that demonstrates your intellectual abilities and reveals the interesting and enhancing aspects of your character will make up for a less-then-perfect GPA. For those who think that a 4.0 means that they are set, that is NOT the case. W&M rejects thousands of 4.0 applications every year because of a bad SAT score, dull, unoriginal, and poorly written essays, and a lack of depth in extracurriculars (they want to see commitment, not a long list of resume-padding). W&M is very selective.

Follow Jesus!

Couldn't have said it better! There are NO Laws of Christianity (maybe the Ten Commandments) but other than those, just stay pure to what the Bible says and follow Jesus!

these days navigational systems have made the maps almost obsolete. The military has to now better routes for vehicle movement and foot soldiers alike. A well developed map will show terrain features which causes the most difficulty in troop and equipment movement.

According to my inquisitiveness in the realm of the higher deans, I've heard many say that the dean at Harvard will make on average a near 5 million. I know this because I have a friend who teaches there and he is a great friend of the deans. He might make even more!

so the blacks could be as good as the whites in the debate team

That depends on which MBA program. For full time, it usually starts in September of each year. For part time, it depends on what quarter/semester you are accepted/looking to start.

You don't need to worry about scholarship searches now. I have three kids, all of them went to college on full rides plus some money for expenses. All you can do now is work on your academic accomplishments, make sure you stay in the clubs and you've joined for all four years, and make an effort to take a leadership role in those clubs and organizations. Harvard can afford to take you if they want you. Be the kind of student they want.

Your chances will hinge mostly on your class rank, not your absolute GPA or even your ACT scores (although you want to have a score above 25) ... at some high schools, a 3.6 may be in the top 1% but at other places a 3.6 may be just a bit above average.

I'm assuming you mean from a student's perspective? Answer the questions honestly. Try to back up your answers with solid thinking and good facts. If the interviewer asks you, "why do you want to go to Harvard?" don't just say "Because it's Harvard," or "the campus is really pretty"! Let the interviewer know who you are. And don't worry, they aren't out to get you...they really want to see you succeed and get in! Also, be prepared for questions such as "what is your greatest flaw," etc...don't let these throw you! They're not looking to make you look bad, they just want to get to know you better!

definetely Harvard

Harvard College's color is crimson.
