On October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on

hand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford

Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusias-

tically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that

morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford! Its wild and

spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adven-

ture. As a pioneer faculty member recalled, “Hope was in

every heart, and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us

to dare greatly.”

For the Stanford’s on that day, the university was the real-

ization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their

only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his six-

teenth birthday. Far from the nation’s center of culture and

unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university drew

students from all over the country: many from California;

some who followed professors hired from other colleges and

universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West.

Though there were many difficulties during the first months –

housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in

arriving from the East – the first year foretold greatness. As

Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of 1892, “Even our fond-

est hopes have been realized.”

The University at a Glance

Stanford University

Millions of volumes are housed in many libraries throughout the campus.

Ideas of “Practical Education”

Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families ofmodest means and had built their way up through a life ofhard work. So it was natural that their first thoughts were toestablish an institution where young men and women could“grapple successfully with the practicalities of life.” As theirthoughts matured, these ideas of “practical education”enlarged to the concept of producing cultured and useful cit-izens who were well-prepared for professional success.

More than one hundred years later, the university still enjoysthe original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields,eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords’ gen-erous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of “long corridors withtheir stately pillars” at the center of campus. It is still true, as thephilosopher William James said, during his stint as a visitingprofessor, that the climate is “so friendly ... that every morningwakes one fresh for new amounts of work.”

Current Perspectives

In other ways, the university has changed tremendously onits way to recognition as one of the world’s great universities.At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is anhour’s drive south of San Francisco and just a few miles northof the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and hightechnology firms largely spawned by the university’s facultyand graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy newlibraries, modern laboratories, sports facilities, and comfort-able residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as piecesfrom the Stanford Museum’s extensive collection of sculptureby Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, provid-ing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the StanfordMedical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching,and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching foranswers to fundamental questions about health and disease.Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford’s Hopkins MarineStation on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to betterunderstand the mechanisms of evolution, human develop-ment, and ecological systems.

The university is organized into seven schools: EarthSciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School ofBusiness, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addi-tion, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, pro-grams, and research laboratories – including the HooverInstitution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute forInternational Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center;and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Children andYouth – where faculty from a wide range of fields bring differ-ent perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford’sOverseas Studies Program offers students in all fields remark-able opportunities for study abroad, with campuses in Paris,Kyoto, Santiago, Berlin, Oxford, Florence, and Moscow.

Stanford People

By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbersapproximately 1,700 – is one of the most distinguished in thenation. It includes 16 Nobel laureates, 4 Pulitzer Prize win-ners, 21 National Medal of Science winners, 132 members ofthe National Academy of Sciences, 223 members of theAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences, 80 members of theNational Academy of Engineering, and 23 members of theNational Academy of Education. Yet beyond their array ofhonors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their com-mitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The greatmajority of professors teach undergraduates both in intro-ductory lecture classes and in small advanced seminars.

Currently 13,900 students, of which 6,500 are undergradu-ates, live and study on campus. About 40 percent come fromCalifornia, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countries arerepresented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percent areAfrican American, Asian American, Hispanic or NativeAmerican. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distin-guished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for everyplace in the freshman class. Eighty-four Stanford students havebeen named Rhodes Scholars, 66 have been named MarshallScholars, and 48 have been named Truman Scholars. Nearly 90percent of graduating seniors plan to attend graduate or pro-fessional schools. Stanford students also shine in a tremendousarray of activities outside the classroom – from student govern-ment to music, theater, and journalism. Through the HaasCenter for Public Service, students participate in dozens ofcommunity service activities, such as tutoring programs forchildren in nearby East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and theArbor Free Clinic.

In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyedtremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 34Division I varsity sports – equally divided between men’s andwomen’s teams. Of Stanford’s 101 national team titles, 50 havebeen captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation.Thirty-eight of Stanford’s athletes and coaches participated inthe 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlanta atthe 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the 2000 Gamesin Sydney – by far the most of any university in the nation –and 42 Stanford athletes competed at the 2004 Games inAthens. Intramural and club sports are also popular; over1,000 students take part in the club sports program, while par-ticipation in the intramural program has reached 9,000, withmany students active in more than one sport.

Looking Ahead

In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, JaneStanford said,“. . . Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughtsand ways, and dare to think on new lines as to the future of thework under our care.” Her thoughts echo in the words of for-mer Stanford President Gerhard Casper, who has said, “Thetrue university must reinvent itself every day . . . At Stanford,these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support forour fundamental tasks – teaching, learning, and research.”

Stanford Universitystill enjoys the original 8,100 acresof grassy fields, eucalyptus groves,and rolling hills thatwere the Stanfords’generous legacy.

Stanford Athletics Stanford University

Home of Champions.” Those are the bywords for the StanfordUniversity Athletic Department.

And for good reason. No athletic department in the country canboast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplished since the1980’s. NCAA team champions. NCAA individual champions.Olympic medalists. Stanford University athletes have been all over theworld capturing championships.

The statistics speak for themselves: Stanford University has won 73NCAA team championships since 1980, the most in the nation;Cardinal athletes have won 50 NCAA championships since 1990 –again the most in the nation. Stanford has brought home 29 NCAAchampionship trophies the past seven years, including an unprece-dented six NCAA team titles in 1996-97. In 1991-92, Stanford athletestook home 29 individual NCAA titles – an NCAA record. Cardinalathletes won 21 individual championships during the 1992-93 sea-son, the second most in history.

Even more impressive is Stanford’s string of 11 consecutiveNACDA Directors’ Cup titles (1995-05). The award honors thenation’s top overall athletic program and with 11 straight victories inthe competition, it is no wonder Stanford is considered the dominantathletic program in the nation.

Stanford captured its 11th straight Directors’ Cup in 2004-05. TheCardinal won a total of three national team crowns (two NCAA) insynchronized swimming (U.S. Collegiate), women’s tennis andwomen’s volleyball. Stanford had a total of 16 Top 10 finishes withlightweight crew, women’s cross country, men’s swimming, women’sswimming, men’s water polo and women’s water polo joining thenational champions in the Top Five. The Cardinal also picked up nineindividual national titles (seven NCAA) and 13 team conferencechampionships.

Stanford has now won at least one NCAA team championship for28 straight years. Cardinal teams have also won four or more NCAAteam titles in a single year nine times, an NCAA best.

All totaled, Stanford has won 101 collegiate team titles (90 NCAAchampionships) and 391 NCAA individual titles. Cardinal women

have won an NCAA-best 33 team championships while men’s teamshave captured 57 NCAA team titles, third-best in the nation. Overall,Stanford’s 90 NCAA team championships rank second in the nation.

In the last 12 years (since 1993-94), Stanford has claimed 41national team championships and 37 NCAA team titles – the best inthe country.

The best athletic year in school history arguably came in 1996-97when Cardinal teams set an NCAA record by winning six NCAAteam championships in a single academic year: men’s and women’scross country; men’s and women’s volleyball; and men’s and women’stennis. Nine other teams finished in the Top Four nationally, includ-

ing second-place finishes in women’s swimming, men’s swimming,men’s water polo and women’s synchronized swimming. Stanfordalso posted third-place finishes in women’s basketball, baseball andfencing, as well as fourth place finishes in women’s golf and women’swater polo. In addition, the Stanford co-ed sailing team added aICYRA national championship.

The 1996-97 school year also saw the Cardinal football teamadvance to the Sun Bowl, the women’s basketball team return to theFinal Four, the baseball team qualify for the College World Series andthe men’s basketball team advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAATournament for the first time since it won the 1942 NCAA title.

Not only has the Cardinal won an NCAA record six NCAA teamchampionships in a single season (1996-97), but it has also won fiveNCAA titles in a single year on three occasions: 1991-92, ’94-95 and ’97-98. Cardinal teams have won four championships in a single academicyear on five occasions: 1985-86, ’86-87, ’92-93, ’93-94 and 2001-02.

Stanford has won 173 conference or regional titles since 1991,again the best in the country. Cardinal teams won a record 18 con-ference or regional championships in 1998-99 – by far the best per-formance of any school in the nation.

Another memorable moment came in 1999-2000 when the Cardinalfootball, men’s basketball and baseball teams won at least a share of theirrespective Pac-10 titles for the first time in school history.

Stanford has simply dominated in several sports. The Cardinal men’stennis team has won 17 NCAA titles while the women’s squad hashauled in 15 national titles. Other programs to have brought in at leastfive national titles include men’s water polo (11), women’s swimming(9), men’s swimming (8), men’s golf (7) and women’s volleyball (6).

Stanford has also enjoyed unequaled success in Olympic competi-tion. Stanford was represented by 43 affiliates at the most recentOlympic Games that took place in 2004 in Athens, Greece. TheCardinal totaled 17 medals (three gold, seven silver, seven bronze).

At the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, Stanford was rep-resented by a total of 34 athletes and coaches. The Cardinal contingentwon a total of 10 medals – four gold, three silver and three bronze.

At the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Stanford placed 49 coaches and ath-letes on Olympic teams, including three head United States Olympiccoaches (Tara VanDerveer, women’s basketball; Richard Quick, women’s

swimming; Skip Kenney, men’s swimming). Stanford athletes account-ed for 16 gold medals, one silver and one bronze in Atlanta.

At the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Cardinal athletes earned 19medals – 10 gold, four silver and five bronze. If Stanford were a coun-try, it would’ve placed 13th in the world with its 19 medals and ninthwith 10 golds. Thirty-eight Stanford-affiliated athletes and coachesparticipated in Barcelona while 41 members of the Cardinal familytook part in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.

Olympic gold medalists are numerous on The Farm. FormerCardinal standout Bob Mathias won back-to-back Olympicdecathlon gold medals in 1948 and ’52, while swimmers PabloMorales, Jenny Thompson, Summer Sanders, Janet Evans and MistyHyman have become household names in the swimming world.

Morales, who helped Stanford win three straight NCAA teamchampionships (1985-87), won three medals at the 1984 Games inLos Angeles (one gold, two silver) and two more gold medals at the1992 Games in Barcelona. Evans won three golds in the 1988 Gamesin Seoul, and one gold and one silver in Barcelona, while Sanders wonfour medals in Barcelona; two gold, one silver and one bronze.Thompson is the most decorated athlete in Olympic history with 12medals (eight gold, three silver, one bronze). Hyman added her nameto the list of Stanford swimming greats by winning the 2000 Olympicgold medal in the 200 meter butterfly to pull off one of the biggestupsets of the Sydney Olympiad.

A list of the great student-athletes in the history of StanfordAthletics would be difficult to even come close to compiling but a fewof the great names in the amazing history of Stanford Athletics includeTom Watson and Tiger Woods (golf); Tim Mayotte, John McEnroe andRoscoe Tanner (men’s tennis); Kristin Klein, Ogonna Nnamani, KimOden and Logan Tom (women’s volleyball); Kristin Folkl (women’sbasketball/volleyball); Jack McDowell and Mike Mussina (baseball);Julie Foudy (women’s soccer); Hank Luisetti, Brevin Knight and MarkMadsen (men’s basketball); Jennifer Azzi and Kate Starbird (women’sbasketball); Jim Plunkett, John Elway and Troy Walters (football); DebiThomas (figure skating); Eric Heiden (speed skating) and the greatErnie Nevers (football); just to name a few.

It’s no wonder Stanford University is often referred to as the“NCAA’s Champion of Champions.”

Stanford Stadium Stanford University

Stanford Stadium has been the home of Cardinal football for the last84 years and after the 2005 season the facility, originally construct-

ed in 1921, will undergo an extensive $85 million dollar renovationthat will also make it one of the top college football stadiums in thenation in addition to having one of the most prestigious histories.

The plan for a renovated Stanford Stadium with a goal to make it amore intimate sporting venue with modern amenities was approved bythe university’s Board of Trustees in June of 2005. The plan includesbringing the seating areas much closer to the action with the elimina-tion of approximately 30,000 seats and modernizing almost all facilitieshoused within the stadium, among other improvements.

The renovation will be another chapter in the story of a stadium thathas hosted not only Stanford football games but some of the world’sgreatest sporting events, including Olympic soccer, Super Bowl XIX,men’s World Cup Soccer, women’s World Cup Soccer, the historicU.S.A.-U.S.S.R Track Meet and the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials.

Stanford Stadium made history by hosting Super Bowl XIX onJanuary 20, 1985, to become the first college stadium to host a SuperBowl when 84,059 fans watched Bill Walsh and his San Francisco49ers dominate the Miami Dolphins in a 38-16 victory. MVP Joe

Montana completed 24-of-35 for 331 yards and three TDs in leadinghis team to its second World Championship in four years.

Other highlights in the venue included nine Olympic soccermatches, including six preliminary matches, two quarterfinal match-es and one semifinal match in 1984 when 465,000 fans jammedStanford Stadium to witness the world’s best soccer players.

The eyes of the world were again focused on Stanford Stadium in lateJune and early July of 1994 as the largest sporting event in the worldcame to The Farm with the arrival of World Cup Soccer in the UnitedStates for the first time ever. Almost 500,000 fans and a worldwide tele-vision audience witnessed six matches at Stanford Stadium – four firstround matches, one second round match and one quarterfinal match

In 1999, Stanford Stadium hosted a soccer doubleheader on July 4that included a Women’s World Cup semifinal match between theUnited States and Brazil. The game was followed by a Major LeagueSoccer matchup between the San Jose Clash and the D.C. United.

One memorable non-athletic event that was held in the facilitywas the delivery of 31st President Herbert Hoover’s acceptancespeech on August 12, 1928. Hoover was the manager of Stanford’sfirst football team.

The largest crowd ever to witness an event at Stanford was theaudience at the 1935 Big Game. The attendance that day was an over-capacity 94,000, all of whom witnessed Stanford’s 13-0 win overCalifornia. The Indians (later to become the Cardinal) went on tocapture the 1935 Rose Bowl by defeating SMU.

Initially sparked by a feud with the University of California to seewhich school could complete a new football facility sooner, the con-struction of Stanford Stadium was accomplished in just over fourmonths. The original design, undertaken by engineering professors

Charles Wing, Charles Marz and William Durand, called for a 66-row, U-shaped structure. Seating capacity in the original stadium was60,000, second only to the Yale Bowl at the time. The cost of con-struction, estimated at $200,000, was underwritten by alumni sub-scriptions and the gate receipts from the 1921 Big Game againstCalifornia. Alumni subscriptions of $100 carried with them the priv-ilege of buying choice seats, at discount, to all intercollegiate eventsfor the next 15 years. Later, this right was extended to a lifetime guar-antee. Over $100,000 was raised in this fashion.

The first game held in the new stadium, appropriately enough, pit-ted Stanford against the University of California on November 19,1921. Although the Golden Bears, who later went on to win the RoseBowl that year, spoiled Stanford’s home opener by registering a 42-7win, Stanford did manage to score the first touchdown in history onthe newly christened field.

Continually undergoing renovation, the Stadium eventually grewto its present-day capacity of 85,500. In 1925, an additional 10,200seats were added to the facility, partially closing the horseshoe-shapedstructure. An unintentional by-product of this operation was the cre-ation of Sunken Diamond, the Stanford baseball stadium, formed bythe removal of dirt needed to fill the Stadium’s new embankment. In1927, 14 additional rows of seats were added, bringing the number ofpresent total of rows to 80.

Additional renovations were undertaken in 1960 (the incorporationof a press box), 1973 (tunnel entrances on the west side), and 1978(installation of a Tartan Track and the north and south scoreboards). OnJanuary 20, 1985, Super Bowl XIX brought with it further renovation ofthe press box as well as construction of brand new locker room facilities,officials’ dressing rooms, a ticket complex and additional restrooms.

World Cup Soccer in 1994 provided Stanford Stadium with morerenovations, including expanding the lower level of the G.A. “Dick”Richards Press Box, installing aluminum bench seating throughoutthe stadium and reducing the crown on the playing field.

The stadium’s natural turf field, named the Louis W. Foster FamilyField, is considered to be one of the finest playing surfaces in thecountry. It is composed of a mixture of rye and Bermuda grass.During football season, grass height is maintained at an even threequarters of an inch. The addition of sand every other year increasesabsorption of rainwater and provides for natural drainage moreeffectively than any other surface in the country. The ability of the

field to absorb wetness allows for play under conditions that wouldforce many other stadiums to reschedule their events.

In addition to the Super Bowl and Olympic soccer, StanfordStadium has served as the site of numerous other events – athletic andnon-athletic alike. The stadium once hosted the Shrine East-WestCollege All-Star Football Game, played in January of each year. It hasalso been the site of a host of national and international track and fieldcompetitions, including the United States Olympic Trials in 1960. In1962, a two-day meet between teams from the United States and theSoviet Union drew more than 150,000 spectators to Stanford Stadium.

The largest crowd ever to witness an event at Stanford was theaudience at the 1935 Big Game. The attendance that day was an over-capacity 94,000, all of whom witnessed Stanford’s 13-0 win overCalifornia. The Indians (later to become the Cardinal) went on tocapture the 1935 Rose Bowl by defeating SMU.

Stanford Stadium has played host to both women’s and men’s WorldCup Soccer matches that welcomed capacity crowds.

Stanford Stadium isthe largest privatelyowned college football facility in theUnited States andhas played host toThe Super Bowl,World Cup andOlympic Soccer, andnumerous collegefootball games.

Athletic Department Administration Stanford University

Ted LelandThe Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics

During his 14 years at Stanford, Dr. Ted Leland hasnot only led the Stanford Athletic Department to

unprecedented success both on and off the playingfield, but he has earned the reputation as one of the topathletic administrators in the nation.

Named The Jaquish & Kenninger Director ofAthletics at Stanford University on June 7, 1991, Leland

has been the guiding force in leading an athletics program that was recently voted as “themost admired collegiate athletic program in the nation.” Consider the facts: Under hiswatch, Stanford has won the prestigious Directors’ Cup, emblematic of the top athleticprogram in the nation, for the past 11 years, has won more NCAA championships thanany other school in the nation, enjoyed tremendous success in fundraising, improvedStanford’s athletic facilities and managed the Cardinal’s 34-sport intercollegiate athleticprogram to conference and national titles at an unparalleled rate.

Since his arrival on The Farm, Stanford has won 50 national team championshipsand 173 conference championships, including an NCAA record six national titles in1996-97. Cardinal teams consistently compete for the national championship in virtual-ly every sport every year. In 2004-05 alone, Stanford had 26 programs finish in the Top-25 nationally, including 10 in the Top 5 and 16 in the Top 10.

In the area of fundraising, Stanford has reached heights never before known underLeland. The Athletic Department has raised over $270 million in private donations,while its assets and endowments have grown from $52 million to $374.9 million duringLeland’s tenure. In addition, approximately $185 million in new or renovated athleticfacilities have been completed and funded.

His peers and colleagues have honored Leland on several occasions throughout hiscareer. Recently, he was presented the Dick Enberg Award by CoSida in 2004. The awardis presented to “a person whose actions and commitment have furthered the meaningand reach of the Academic All-America programs and/or student-athletes while pro-moting the values of education and academics.” In 2000-01, Leland was honored byNACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) and the Street &Smith’s Sports Business Journal as the Athletic Director of the Year. The award recognizedan Athletic Director for demonstration of commitment to higher education and stu-dent-athletes, continuous teamwork, loyalty and excellence, and the ability to inspireindividuals or groups to higher levels of accomplishments.

As one of the nation’s most respected athletic administrators, Leland has served onnumerous national committees throughout his career. He is currently a member of theUniversity of Pacific Board of Regents and the Board of Directors of OpportunitiesIndustrialization Center West (a non-profit community-based job training center on theMenlo Park-East Palo Alto border). He is a member of the Division I NCAA Committeeon Infractions and the NACDA Executive Committee, while serving on various other Pac-10 and NCAA committees.

In June of 2002, Leland was named a co-chairman of the United States Secretary ofEducation’s Commission on Opportunity in Athletics. The 15-member panel examinedways of strengthening enforcement of Title IX (the 30-year-old anti-discrimination law)and expanding opportunities to ensure fairness for all college athletes.

Leland recently concluded a two-year term as Chairman of the NCAA ManagementCouncil. He was a member of the Management Council for eight years.

After serving as Stanford’s Director of Athletics for 12 years, Leland was granted a“Special Research Leave” from his post in the spring of 2003. During an 11-weekabsence, Leland was a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Hoover Institution on cam-pus, conducted research on a book, and wrote and delivered several speeches on nation-al issues related to intercollegiate athletics.

As Stanford’s fifth athletic director, Leland succeeded Andy Geiger (1979-90), JoeRuetz (1972-78), Chuck Taylor (1963-71) and Al Masters (1925-63). Leland directs adepartment that includes 34 intercollegiate varsity teams – 15 men’s, 18 women’s andone coed – plus the physical education department, intramurals, club sports, open recre-ation and the Stanford Golf Course. The department has an annual budget of approxi-mately $58 million.

Prior to his arrival at Stanford, Leland held two other Athletic Director positions. Hewas the A.D. at the University of the Pacific from 1989-91 and at Dartmouth Collegefrom 1983-89. His other career stops included Northwestern University, where he was aSenior Associate Athletic Director from 1981-83 and the University of Houston asAssistant Athletic Director from 1979-81. He was an assistant football coach and instruc-tor of physical education at Stanford in 1978-79.

Leland grew up in Northern California, graduated from Hayward High School andlater attended Chabot College. He earned both his Bachelor’s (1970) and Master’s (1972)degrees from the University of the Pacific. He added a Ph.D. from Stanford in 1982 ineducation/sports psychology.

While an undergraduate at UOP, Leland earned first team all PCAA honors as adefensive end in 1969. He later coached football at UOP, Stanford and East TennesseeState, and rose to the position of defensive coordinator.

In addition to his work in athletic administration, Leland has held the position of“adjunct professor” at Dartmouth College, UOP and Stanford, teaching courses inSports Psychology and the Philosophy of Sport. He is currently a Distinguished VisitingScholar at the Hoover Institution at Stanford.

Leland, 56, and his wife, Stefanie, live on the Stanford campus and have two children:Amanda, 23, and Bo, 21.

Stanford has won 50 National Team Championships sinceLeland’s arrival on The Farm in the Fall of 1991, including aNCAA record six national titles in 1996-97. Stanford has alsowon the United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup Trophy,which is emblematic of the top athletic program in the nation,for each of the past 11 years.

A familiar sight for Stanford Athletics: Athletic Director Ted Leland accepting the United StatesSports Academy Directors’ Cup as the top athletic program in the nation.

The Arrillaga Family Sports Center is home to Stanford’s 34 intercollegiate sports,which have captured 50 national titles during Ted Leland’s tenure.


Mascot & Nickname Stanford University

The official Stanford Athleticslogo features a block “S” with astylized tree (left). However, onsome uniforms, such as on thefootball helmet, the block “S”alone is used (right).

Athletics Logo,University Seal &The Stanford Tree

The official Stanford Seal featuresEl Palo Alto (the tree) and aGerman phrase which translatesto “the winds of freedom blow”.

The “Stanford Tree” is a memberof the Leland Stanford JuniorUniversity Marching Band and isnot an official school mascot.

Mascot and Nickname

The unique origins of Stanford’s mascot and have a historythat dates back to the University’s founding in 1891. While

the Cardinal has always been one of the school’s official colors,the nickname has gone through a series of changes, student votes,controversy and confusion.

Since 1981, Stanford has been known as the Cardinal. Stanfordwas known as the “Indians” from 1930-72. As for the mascot,Stanford does not officially have one. The “Tree,” which is a mem-ber of the Stanford Band, has been mistaken as the school’s mas-cot, but it is not.

Below is a brief history of the nickname, the mascot and theschool colors:

The NicknameThe nickname for Stanford is the Cardinal – in reference to

one of the school colors (and is therefore in the singular).Stanford’s history with its nickname began on March 19, 1891when Stanford beat Cal in the first Big Game. While Stanford didnot have an official nickname, the day after the Big Game localnewspapers picked up the “cardinal” theme and used it in theheadlines.

Stanford did not have an “official” nickname until Indians wasadopted in 1930. For years prior, the Indian had been part of theStanford athletic tradition. Perhaps it grew out of the fact thatCal’s symbol was the Bear, or it may have come from the largeIndian population of the area, or from Indian paraphernalia inabundance in the late 1800’s. Whatever the origin, it was accept-ed by sportswriters and gradually gained wide recognition.

Stanford officially adopted the Indian nickname on Nov. 25,1930 after a unanimous vote by the Executive Committee for theAssociated Students. The Indian had long been considered thesymbol of Stanford before the official vote, although its originsare only speculation.

The resolution that was passed read: “Whereas the Indian haslong been unofficially recognized as the symbol of Stanford andits spirit, and whereas there has never been any official designa-tion of a Stanford symbol, be it hereby resolved that the ExecutiveCommittee adopt the Indian as the symbol of Stanford.”

The Indian symbol was eventually dropped in 1972 followingmeetings between Stanford native American students andPresident Richard Lyman. The 55 students, supported by theother 358 American Indians enrolled in California colleges, feltthe mascot was an insult to their culture and heritage. As a resultof these talks and the ensuing publicity, the Stanford StudentSenate voted 18-4 to drop the Indian symbol, and Lyman agreed.

The first student referendum on the issue was held in May,1972, and it resulted in a vote of 1,755 for and 1,298 againstrestoring the Indian. The second vote, on Dec. 3-4, 1975, was 885for and 1,915 against.

There was a move to reinstate the Indian as the school mascotin 1975. The debate was put to vote along with new suggestions:Robber Barons, Sequoias, Trees, Cardinals, Railroaders, Spikes,and Huns. None of the suggestions were accepted.

In 1978, another group comprised of 225 varsity athletes from18 teams, started a petition for the mascot to be the griffin – amythological animal with the body and hind legs of a lion andhead and wings of an eagle. The University moved two griffinstatues from the Children’s Hospital to a grassy area betweenEncina Gym and Angel Field. The campaign for the Griffinsfailed.

From 1972 until November 17, 1981, Stanford’s official nick-name was Cardinals, in reference to one of the school colors, notthe bird.

Nine years after the Indian was dropped, Stanford had still notdecided on a new mascot. President Donald Kennedy declared in1981 that all Stanford athletic teams will be represented and sym-bolized exclusively by the color cardinal. “While various othermascots have been suggested and then allowed to wither, thecolor has continued to serve us well, as it has for 90 years. It is arich and vivid metaphor for the very pulse of life.”

The MascotThere is no official mascot at Stanford University. The “Tree,”

which is a member of the Stanford Band, is representative of ElPalo Alto, the Redwood tree which is the logo of the city of PaloAlto. Since Stanford University and Palo Alto are almost inextri-cably intertwined in interests and location, it is a natural out-growth of this relationship. The tree still exists and stands by therailroad bridge beside San Francisquito Creek – it is the site whereearly explorers first camped when settling the area.

The ColorWhen Stanford first accepted students in 1891, the student

body actually voted for gold as the school’s official color, butanother student assembly chose Cardinal as the school color. Afew days after the vote, local sportswriters picked up the“Cardinal” theme after Stanford defeated Cal in the first BigGame (March 19, 1891). The headlines read, “Cardinal TriumphsO’er Blue and Gold.”

Cardinal remained the school color until the 1940’s, whenrules committees and conferences started regulating jersey colorsfor home and visiting football teams. Stanford’s Board of AthleticControl adopted white as the second color.

Today, Stanford’s official school colors are cardinal and white.

Prior to 1972, Stanford’s teams were known as the Indians, as seen on All-America baseball player MarkMarquess’ uniform.


Pac-10 Conference Stanford University

With 342 NCAA team titles, the Pacific-10 Conference is clearlythe “Conference of Champions”.

Entering the 2005-06 season, the Pacific-10 Conference continues touphold its tradition as the “Conference of Champions.”® Pac-10 mem-bers have claimed an incredible 90 NCAA team titles over the past 10 sea-sons, for an average of nine championships per academic year.

Even more impressive is the breadth of the Pac-10’s success, as those90 team titles over the past nine seasons have come in 21 different men’sand women’s sports. The Pac-10 has now led the nation in NCAAChampionships 39 of the last 45 years and finished second five times.

Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievement,the Pac-10 has captured 342 NCAA titles (248 men’s, 94 women’s), faroutdistancing any other NCAA Division I conference in the country.

The Conference’s reputation is further proven in the annual SportsAcademy Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that hon-ors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country.Stanford continued its remarkable run in the 2004-05 season by win-ning its 11th consecutive Directors’ Cup. In the 2004-05 competition,three of the Top 10 and seven of the Top 20 Division I programs werePac-10 members: No. 1 Stanford, No. 3 UCLA, No. 9 USC, No. 12Arizona State, No. 18 Washington and No. 19 Arizona.

The Pac-10 captured six NCAA titles in 2004-05 (second to onlythe Big 10) with conference teams winning NCAA championships infour women’s and two men’s sports. Stanford won two (tennis, volley-ball) of the four women’s championships by Pac-10 schools, whileCalifornia (rowing) and UCLA (water polo) picked up one each.UCLA (tennis, water polo) won both of the Pac-10’s titles on the men’sside. The four NCAA titles won by Pac-10 schools in 2004-05 equaledthe four captured by Big 10 women’s teams for the most in the nation.

The Pac-10’s success in 2004-05 continued the Conference’s phe-nomenal run throughout its history.

On the men’s side, Pac-10 members have won 248 NCAA teamchampionships to easily rank tops among NCAA Division I confer-ences. Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive num-ber of NCAA men’s individual champions as well, claiming 1,198NCAA individual crowns.

On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAAbegan conducting women’s championships 24 years ago, Pac-10 mem-bers have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 16occasions. Overall, the Pac-10 has captured 94 NCAA women’s crownsto also rank first among NCAA Division I conferences. Pac-10 women

athletes shine nationally on an individual basis as well, having cap-tured an unmatched 440 NCAA individual titles.

The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference go back nearly 89 years toDecember 15, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) wasfounded at a meeting at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. Originalmembership consisted of four schools – the University of California atBerkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, andOregon State College (now Oregon State University). All still are char-ter members of the Conference.

Pacific Coast Conference play began in 1916. One year later,Washington State College (now Washington State University), wasaccepted into the Conference, and Stanford University joined in 1918.

In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission ofthe University of Southern California and the University of Idaho.Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to10 members with the addition of UCLA.

The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10-team league until 1950,with the exception of 1943-45, when World War II curtailed intercollegiateathletic competition to a minimum. In 1950, Montana resigned from theConference and joined the Mountain States Conference. The PCC contin-ued as a nine-team Conference through 1958.

In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and a new Conference was formed– the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Original AAWUmembership consisted of California, Stanford, Southern California,UCLA, and Washington. Washington State became a member in 1962,while Oregon and Oregon State joined in 1964. In 1968, the namePacific-8 Conference was adopted.

Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona andArizona State University were admitted and the Pacific-10 Conferencebecame a reality. In 1986-87, the league took on a new look, expand-ing to include 10 women’s sports.

Currently, the Pac-10 sponsors 11 men’s sports and 11 women’ssports. Additionally, the Conference is a member of the MountainPacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men’s sports and twoother women’s sports.

Edwin N. Atherton was named the Conference’s firstCommissioner in 1940. He has been succeeded by Victor O. Schmidt(1944), Thomas J. Hamilton (1959), Wiles Hallock (1971), and currentCommissioner Thomas C. Hansen in 1983.
