Stanford University, officially Leland Stanford Junior University, is a private research university in Stanford, California, and one of the world's most prestigious institutions.
Stanford was founded in 1885 by Leland Stanford, former Governor of and U.S. Senator from California and leading railroad tycoon, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., who had died of typhoid fever at age 15 the previous year. Stanford admitted its first students on October 1, 1891 as a coeducational and non-denominational institution. Tuition was free until 1920. The university struggled financially after Leland Stanford's 1893 death and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following World War II, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurialism to build self-sufficient local industry in what would later be known as Silicon Valley. By 1970, Stanford was home to a linear accelerator, and was one of the original four ARPANET nodes (precursor to the Internet).

Genres: ,Dearheart
Take a look at you
I know how it feels
Branches full of fruit
Life streaks
And surges all in green
The bounty of the rain
The bounty of the spring
Dearheart
You cant keep them all
I wait with eyes closed
Ill lighten your load
Truth hurts
Remember this:
We are pooling our faith
(You said it)
Asking for my basketful
Shake loose
All your garnet jewels
Whatever sustains me
Gifts and pampers you
Trees drop
Plums in my open mouth
I wait with eyes closed
Paradise my own
Truth hurts
Hold onto this:
We are pooling our faith
(You said it)
Juice bursts
Don't let it drip
We are pooling our faith
