Stanford University (authoritatively Leland Stanford Junior University) is a private examination college in Stanford, California, and one of the world's most prestigious foundations, with the top position in various rankings and measures in the United States.
Stanford was established in 1885 by Leland Stanford, previous Governor of and U.S. Representative from California and driving railroad mogul, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their just youngster, Leland Stanford, Jr., who had kicked the bucket of typhoid fever at age 15 the earlier year. Stanford was opened on October 1, 189 as a coeducational and non-denominational foundation. Educational cost was free until 1920.The college battled fiscally after Leland Stanford's 1893 passing and after a great part of the grounds was harmed by the 1906 San Francisco quake. Taking after World War II, Provost Frederick Terman upheld workforce and graduates' entrepreneurialism to assemble independent neighborhood industry in what might later be known as Silicon Valley. By 1970, Stanford was home to a straight quickening agent, and was one of the first four ARPANET hubs (forerunner to the Internet).
