The Leland Stanford Junior
University, commonly referred to as Stanford University or Stanford, is
a private research university located in Stanford, California, United
States. The university was founded in 1885 by United States Senator and
former California governor Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Lathrop
Stanford, as a memorial to their son Leland Stanford Jr., who died of
typhoid in Italy a few weeks before his 16th birthday. The Stanfords
used their farm lands in Palo Alto to establish the university hoping to
create a large institution of higher education in California.
