LELAND STANFORD, JR, UNIVERSITY
Jane and Leland Stanford established the university in memory of their only child, Leland Jr., who died of typhoid fever at 15. Within weeks of his 1884 death, the Stanfords determined that, because they no longer could do anything for their own child, they would use their wealth to do something for "other people's" children.
On October 1, 1891, Stanford University opened its doors after six years of planning and building. In the early morning hours, construction workers were still preparing the Inner Quadrangle for the opening ceremonies. The great arch at the western end had been backed with panels of red and white cloth to form an alcove where the dignitaries would sit. Behind the stage was a life-size portrait of Leland Stanford, Jr., in whose memory the university was founded.
"HAIL, STANFORD , HAIL!"
"Where the rolling foothills rise up t'wards mountains higher, Where at eve the Coast Range lies in the sunset fire, flushing deep and paling, Here we raise our voices hailing thee our Alma Mater. From the foothills to the bay, it shall ring, as we sing, it shall ring and float alway, Hail, Stanford, Hail! Hail, Stanford, Hail!
