Stanford University, officially Leland Stanford Junior University, is a private research university in Stanford, California. The university was founded in 1885 by Leland Stanford, former Governor of and U.S. Senator from California and railroad tycoon, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford Jr., who had died of typhoid fever at age 15 the previous year. Stanford admitted its first students on October 1, 1891[1][2] as a coeducational and non-denominational institution. The university struggled financially after Leland Stanford's 1893 death and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[3] Following World War II, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurialism to build self-sufficient local industry in what would later be known as Silicon Valley.[4] The rise of Silicon Valley helped Stanford become one of the world's most prestigious universities.

The main campus is in northern Santa Clara Valley adjacent to Palo Alto and between San Jose and San Francisco, though it also has land and facilities elsewhere. Its campus is one of the largest in the United States. There are three academic schools that have both undergraduate and graduate students and another four professional schools. The university is also one of the top fundraising institutions in the country, becoming the first school to raise more than a billion dollars in a year.[5]
