Stanford University
Stanford University, famous as one of northernCalifornia’s several institutions of higher learning,is sometimes called "the Harvard of the West." The closeness ofStanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives theuniversity a decidedly cosmopolitan flavor.
The students are enrolled mainly from thewestern United State. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford,and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admissionremain high. Young men and women are selected to enter the university from theupper fifteen percent of their high school classes.
Not only because of the high caliber of itsstudents but also because of the desirable location and climate, Stanford hasattracted to its faculty some of the world’s mostrespected scholars.

Flory and Dr. Linus Pauling in chemistry. The Russian novelist AleksanderSolzhenistsyn has been in residence. Stanford’sundergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business, law,and medicine are especially well-regarded.
What is student life like on "TheFarm"? Culturally, the campus is a magnet for both students and citizensof nearby communities. Plays, concerts, and operas are performed in theuniversity’s several auditoriums and in its outdoortheater, where graduations are also held. Several film series are presentedduring the school year. Guest lecturers from public and academic lifefrequently appear on campus. In the evenings, many students gather to socializein the Student Union’s coffee house; here the beveragesan the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor. For the sports-minded,the Stanford campus offer highly developed athletic facilities. Team sports,swimming, and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanfordpicture.
