The history of Stanford university

Leland Stanford Junior University was built by Leland Stanford and Jane
Lathrop Stanford in honor of their son, Leland Stanford, Jr., who died from
typhoid.

As Menlo Park grew and spacious mansions sprouted up, Leland Stanford
arrived who later was to buy himself a town--740 vacant acres that he named
Palo Alto.

But to the tremendous grief of his adoring parents, Leland Jr. was stricken
with typhoid fever while the family was traveling in Turkey and died in 1884
at the age of 15. His parents then decided that they would dedicate their
fortune to educational pursuits and Leland Stanford proclaimed, "The
children of California shall be my children."

So in 1885 the founding grant for Leland Stanford Junior University was
executed. Construction began in 1887, and the university opened its doors to
students four years later.

The original site extended from San Francisquito Creek south to Embarcadero
Road, and from El Camino Real to a ragged eastern boundary on the bay side.
The new town was originally known as University Park, but Stanford preferred
"Palo Alto," so he bargained to get the name from the area that is now
College Terrace.

Leland Jr. was just 15. Legend has it that the grieving couple said to one
another after their son's death, "the children of California shall be our
children," and they quickly set about to find a lasting way to memorialize
their beloved son.
