The Story Under the Name of Stanford 斯坦福大学名字背后的故事
It is not enough to do good; one must do it the right way. ——John Morley
人不仅要做好事,更要以正确的方式做好事。——约翰·莫利
Stanford University was established by a pair of respected parents. They are Mr. Stanford, a railroad magnate, and his wife, Jane Stanford.
In 1884, Leland Stanford, Jr. their only son got a terrible cold when their family was on vacation in Italy. Because of the poor medical conditions, he died before long. It was said that little Leland was not even 16 years old. His parents were so sad. And they realized that their family property would never be used on their son any more.
So this couple decided to dedicate a university to their only son, and named it after the poor young man. As Mr. Stanford had said, “The children of California shall be our children instead of little Leland.”
Before building the school, Mr. and Mrs. Stanford visited the President of Harvard, asked for advice about how to establish a university like Harvard in California. At last, they donated $ 5 million dollars and located their farm as the campus to start a new university – the Stanford University.

1884 年,斯坦福一家在意大利旅行时,家中 唯一的孩子小利兰患重感冒,不幸去世了,那时 他还不到 16 岁。斯坦福夫妇悲痛欲绝,觉得再 如何辛苦挣钱也没有任何用处了。
为了纪念小利兰,斯坦福夫妇决定在家乡加 利福尼亚州创建一所学校,并希望以儿子的名字 为学校命名。就像斯坦福先生所说,“虽然我们 失去了亲爱的小利兰,但加州的孩子都是我们的孩子。”
为了了解如何创建学校,斯坦福夫妇拜访了当时的哈佛大学校长。在得到 相关的建校建议后,他们决定捐赠 500 万美金,并以自己的农场为校址,创办 了这所可以和哈佛并肩的斯坦福大学。
