Stanford University

　　    Guide 　　The historic California railroad magnate and former Governor of California, Leland Stanford Sr., decided to donate funds to establish Stanford University in memory of his son who died of illness while traveling in Italy. He also offered his 8,180-acre horse farm, originally used for breeding thoroughbreds, as the campus for the university.  　     Introduction   　　Founded in 1885, Stanford University is a private higher education institution in the United States, established by Leland Stanford. The university comprises seven schools: Humanities & Sciences, Earth Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Law, Business, and Education. Roughly half of the students are undergraduates and the other half are graduate students.  　In addition, the university houses a Food Research Center, the Hopkins Marine Station, and five overseas campuses in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Austria, where over half of its undergraduate students can spend a semester abroad. There are also advanced research centers in Europe and Asia.
　　     If Harvard and Yale represent the traditional American spirit of the humanities, then Stanford University symbolizes the technological spirit of the 21st century. According to recent official statistics, Stanford graduates have the highest average annual income among all U.S. universities.   　    Transportation  　　The campus is located in Palo Alto, California. You can take the CalTrain to Palo Alto.
