Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly referred to as  Stanford University, is a  private  research university  in  Stanford, California, United States. It was founded in 1885 by railroad magnate  Leland Stanford  (the eighth  governor  of and then-incumbent  United States senator representing California) and his wife,  Jane, in memory of their only child,  Leland Jr. The university admitted its first students in 1891,  opening as a  coeducational  and  non-denominational  institution. It struggled financially after Leland died in 1893 and again after much of the campus was damaged by the  1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following  World War II, university  provost  Frederick Terman  inspired an  entrepreneurial culture  to build a self-sufficient local industry (later  Silicon Valley).  In 1951,  Stanford Research Park  was established in  Palo Alto  as the world's first university research park. By 2021, the university had 2,288 tenure-line faculty, senior fellows, center fellows, and medical faculty on staff.  The university is organized around seven schools of study on an 8,180-acre (3,310-hectare) campus, one of the largest in the nation. It houses the  Hoover Institution, a public policy  think tank, and is  classified  among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity". Students compete in 36 varsity sports, and the university is one of eight private institutions in the  Atlantic Coast Conference  (ACC). Stanford has won 136  NCAA  team championships, and was awarded the  NACDA Directors' Cup  for 25 consecutive years, beginning in 1994. Students and alumni have won  302 Olympic medals (including 153 gold). The university is associated with 94 billionaires,  58  Nobel laureates,  33  MacArthur Fellows,  29  Turing Award  winners, as well as 7  Wolf Foundation Prize  recipients, 2 Supreme Court justices of the United States, and 4  Pulitzer Prize  winners.  Additionally, its alumni include many  Fulbright Scholars,  Marshall Scholars,  Gates Cambridge Scholars,  Rhodes Scholars, and members of the  United States Congress.

The Stanford music department sponsors many ensembles, including five choirs, the Stanford Symphony Orchestra,  Stanford Taiko, and the Stanford Wind Ensemble. Extracurricular activities include theater groups such as Ram's Head Theatrical Society, the Stanford Improvisors,  the Stanford Shakespeare Company, and the Stanford Savoyards, a group dedicated to performing the works of  Gilbert and Sullivan. Stanford is also host to  ten  a cappella  groups, including the  Mendicants  (Stanford's first), Counterpoint  (the first all-female group on the  West Coast), the Harmonics, the  Stanford Fleet Street Singers,  Talisman,  Everyday People,  and Raagapella.
