Stanford University The University at a Glance

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 enthusi-

astically, 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

adventure. 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

realization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory

of their only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks

before his sixteenth birthday. Far from the nation’s center of

culture and unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new uni-

versity 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 fondest hopes have been realized.” The University at a Glance

Ideas of “Practical Education”

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

More than one hundred years later, the university still enjoys the original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords’ generous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of “long corridors with their stately pillars” at the center of campus. It is still true, as the philosopher William James said, during his stint as a visiting professor, that the climate is “so friendly ... that every morning wakes one fresh for new amounts of work.”

Current Perspectives

In other ways, the university has changed tremendously on its way to recognition as one of the world’s great universi-ties. At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is an hour’s drive south of San Francisco and just a few miles north of the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and high technology firms largely spawned by the university’s faculty and graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy new libraries, modern laboratories, sports facilities, and comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as pieces from the Stanford Museum’s extensive collec-tion of sculpture by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, providing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the Stanford Medical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching, and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching for answers to fundamental questions about health and disease. Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to better understand the mechanisms of evolution, human development, and ecological systems.

The university is organized into seven schools: Earth Sciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School of Business, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addition, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, programs, and research laboratories – including the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute for International Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth – where faculty from a wide range of fields bring different perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford’s Overseas Studies Program offers students in all fields remarkable opportunities for study abroad, with cam-puses in Paris, Kyoto, Santiago, Berlin, Oxford, Florence, and Moscow.

Stanford People

By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbers approximately 1,700 – is one of the most distinguished in the nation. It includes 16 Nobel laureates, 4 Pulitzer Prize win-ners, 21 National Medal of Science winners, 132 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 223 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 80 members of the National Academy of Engineering, and 23 members of the National Academy of Education. Yet beyond their array of honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their commitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The great majority of professors teach undergraduates both in introductory 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 from California, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countries are represented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percent are African American, Asian American, Hispanic or Native American. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distinguished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for every place in the freshman class. Eighty-four Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars, 66 have been named Marshall Scholars, and 48 have been named Truman Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan to attend graduate or professional schools. Stanford students also shine in a tremendous array of activities outside the classroom – from student government to music, theater, and journalism. Through the Haas Center for Public Service, stu-dents participate in dozens of community service activities, such as tutoring programs for children in nearby East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic.

In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyed tremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 35 Division I varsity sports – equally divided between men’s and women’s teams. Of Stanford’s 104 national team titles, 52 have been captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation. Thirty-eight of Stanford’s athletes and coaches par-ticipated in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlanta at the 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the 2000 Games in Sydney – by far the most of any university in the nation – and 42 Stanford athletes competed at the 2004 Games in Athens. Intramural and club sports are also popu-lar; over 1,000 students take part in the club sports program, while participation in the intramural program has reached 9,000, with many students active in more than one sport.

Looking Ahead

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

Stanford University still enjoys the original 8,100 acres of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords’ generous legacy.

San Francisco Bay Area

Gateway to the San Francisco Bay Area and Beyond

From bustling cosmopolitan cities to quiet coastal retreats,

the San Francisco Bay Area is incomparable. First-class

attractions, world-class athletics, cultural diversity, remark-

able skylines and breathtaking views make this region one of

the world’s most popular destinations.

And at the hub of this great region is Stanford University,

located within an hour’s drive of San Francisco to the north,

Silicon Valley to the south and the coastal cities which line

the Pacific Ocean to the west.

San Francisco has been named the world’s top city twice

and the country’s top city on seven occasions. Surrounded by

three sides of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, San

Francisco’s compact 46 square miles crowd the tip of the San

Francisco Peninsula. “The City” has a population of 730,000

and is the centerpiece of the San Francisco Bay Area, which

is the nation’s fifth largest metropolitan region and registers a

population of over six million and hosts over 16 million visi-

tors each year.


Beyond the Campus

San Francisco’s signature skyline dominates the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the world’s most picturesque locations. The City is home to numerous attractions, including the world-famous cable cars, the TransAmerica Pyramid, Ghirardelli Square, AT&T Park, Coit Tower (below left), and Lombard Street – the world’s crookedest street (below right).

The City is a cultural wonderland, an ethnic treasure chest where custom, tradition and history are preserved, celebrated and shared. From the vibrant counterculture in Haight-Ashbury to the young and glamorous tech survivors in their South of Market lofts, San Francisco is a golden dream come true.

Visitors and residents of San Francisco have a playground of diversity at their fingertips. Fisherman’s Wharf, a must-see for all, includes waterfront marketplaces such at PIER 39, The Cannery and Ghirardelli Square. Golden Gate Park, Chinatown, North Beach, Union Square, Pacific Bell Park, the Embarcadero Center and, world famous cable cars and trolleys are just an example of what The City has to offer. The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco’s signature landmark, looms as the gateway to the City by the Bay.

To the south of Stanford are Santa Clara and San Jose, the anchors to the Silicon Valley. Computer firms and software companies can be found throughout the region, which is considered the leader among the world’s high technology industry. Lest you think that the valley is all business, though, spend a day at Paramount’s Great America, delve into the wonders of technology at the Tech Museum of Innovation or explore the Winchester Mystery House.

One of the world’s great stretches of coastline is located within a short drive from Stanford University. To the south is the Monterey Peninsula, which includes the picturesque coastal towns of Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. The Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and 17-Mile Drive along Pebble Beach are musts for visitors.

And if you bring your golf clubs, some of most famous golf courses can be found on the Monterey Peninsula, including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Cypress Point. The Beach Boardwalk, which features a historic wooden roller coaster, is located along the coast in Santa Cruz.

Further north along the coast is Half Moon Bay, Princeton-by-the-Bay, San Francisco and Marin County, located just across the Golden Gate Bridge. A short ferryboat

ride past Alcatraz Island are the coastal towns of Tiburon, Larkspur and Sausalito.

A short drive north and east of Marin County gets you into the Napa Wine Country, home to dozens of well-known vintners. Within a few hours drive from the Bay Area is Lake Tahoe, home to some of the finest skiing in the country.

The Bay Area is also a mecca for some of the finest sports organizations in the nation. The Bay Area has two professional football teams (San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders), two professional baseball teams (San Francisco Giants, Oakland A’s), one professional basketball team (Golden State Warriors) and one professional hockey team (San Jose Sharks)

Whether it’s a cosmopolitan atmosphere, the cultural offerings of one of the great cities in the world, a visit to a coastal location, a trip to the Wine Country or skiing at Lake Tahoe, the San Francisco Bay Area remains one of the great destinations in the world today.

Just outside of the immediate Bay Area, Yosemite is a favorite destination.

San Francisco Bay is renown for excellent conditions for both boating and windsurfing.

The Stanford women’s tennis team has captured five of the past six NCAA titles.

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

And for good reason. No athletic department in the country can boast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplished since the 1980’s. NCAA team champions. NCAA individual champions. Olympic medalists. Stanford University athletes have been all over the world capturing championships.

The statistics speak for themselves: Stanford University has won 75 NCAA team championships since 1980, the most in the nation; Cardinal athletes have won 52 NCAA championships since 1990 – again the most in the nation. Stanford has brought home 31 NCAA championship trophies the past eight years, including an unprecedented six NCAA team titles in 1996-97. In 1991-92, Stanford athletes took home 29 individual NCAA titles – an NCAA record. Cardinal athletes won 21 individual champi-onships during the 1992-93 season, the second most in history.

Even more impressive is Stanford’s string of 12 consecutive Directors’ Cup titles (1995-2006). The award honors the nation’s top overall athletic program and with 12 straight victories in the competition, it is no wonder Stanford is considered the dominant athletic program in the nation.

Stanford captured its 12th straight Directors’ Cup in 2005-06. The Cardinal won a total of three national team crowns (two NCAA) in synchronized swimming (U.S. Collegiate), women’s tennis and women’s cross country. Stanford had a total of 20 Top 10 finishes with men’s water polo, women’s basketball, men’s swimming, women’s swimming, men’s gymnastics, women’s indoor track, men’s crew, women’s sailing, men’s tennis and women’s water polo joining the national champions in the Top Five. The Cardinal also picked up six individual national titles (two NCAA) and 13 team conference championships.

Stanford has now won at least one NCAA team championship for 30 straight years. Cardinal teams have also won four or more NCAA team titles in a single year nine times, an NCAA best.

All totaled, Stanford has won 104 collegiate team titles (92 NCAA championships) and 395 NCAA individual titles. Cardinal

women have won an NCAA-best 35 team championships while men’s teams have captured 57 NCAA team titles, third-best in the nation. Overall, Stanford’s 92 NCAA team championships rank second in the nation.

In the last 10 years (since 1996-97), Stanford has claimed 33 national team championships and 29 NCAA team titles – the best in the country.

The best athletic year in school history arguably came in 1996-97 when Cardinal teams set an NCAA record by winning six NCAA team championships in a single academic year: men’s and women’s cross country; men’s and women’s volleyball; and

men’s and women’s tennis. Nine other teams finished in the Top Four nationally, including second-place finishes in women’s swimming, men’s swimming, men’s water polo and women’s synchronized swimming. Stanford also posted third-place finishes in women’s basketball, baseball and fencing, as well as fourth place finishes in women’s golf and women’s water polo. In addition, the Stanford co-ed sailing team added a ICYRA national championship.

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

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

Stanford has won 186 conference or regional titles since 1991, again the best in the country. Cardinal teams won a record 18 conference or regional championships in 1998-99 – by far the best performance of any school in the nation.

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

Stanford has simply dominated in several sports. The Cardinal men’s tennis team has won 17 NCAA titles while the women’s squad has hauled in 16 national titles. Other programs to have brought in at least five 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 com-petition. Stanford was represented by 43 affiliates at the most recent Olympic Games that took place in 2004 in Athens, Greece. The Cardinal totaled 17 medals (three gold, seven silver, seven bronze).

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

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

Quick, women’s swimming; Skip Kenney, men’s swimming). Stanford athletes accounted for 16 gold medals, one silver and one bronze in Atlanta.

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

Olympic gold medalists are numerous on The Farm. Former Cardinal standout Bob Mathias won back-to-back Olympic decath-lon gold medals in 1948 and ’52, while swimmers Pablo Morales, Jenny Thompson, Summer Sanders, Janet Evans and Misty Hyman have become household names in the swimming world.

Morales, who helped Stanford win three straight NCAA team championships (1985-87), won three medals at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles (one gold, two silver) and two more gold medals at the 1992 Games in Barcelona. Evans won three golds in the 1988 Games in Seoul, and one gold and one silver in Barcelona, while Sanders won four medals in Barcelona; two gold, one silver and one bronze. Thompson is the most decorated athlete in Olympic history with 12 medals (eight gold, three silver, one bronze). Hyman added her name to the list of Stanford swimming greats by winning the 2000 Olympic gold medal in the 200 meter but-terfly to pull off one of the biggest upsets of the Sydney Olympiad.

A list of the great student-athletes in the history of Stanford Athletics would be difficult to even come close to compiling but a few of the great names in the amazing history of Stanford Athletics include Tom Watson and Tiger Woods (golf); Tim Mayotte, John McEnroe and Roscoe Tanner (men’s tennis); Keri Walsh, Ogonna Nnamani, Kim Oden and Logan Tom (women’s volleyball); Kristin Folkl (women’s basketball/volleyball); Jack McDowell and Mike Mussina (baseball); Julie Foudy (women’s soccer); Hank Luisetti, Brevin Knight and Mark Madsen (men’s basketball); Jennifer Azzi, Nicole Powell and Kate Starbird (wom-en’s basketball); Tony Azevedo (men’s water polo); Jim Plunkett, John Elway and Troy Walters (football); Debi Thomas (figure skating); Eric Heiden (speed skating) and the great Ernie Nevers (football); just to name a few.

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

Cardinal football players train in a 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility located in the Arrillaga Family Sports Center. The Varsity Weight Room, renovated during the summer of 2002, is the strength and conditioning home to Stanford’s 35 intercollegiate sports programs. The Varsity Weight Room also has a fully equipped nutrition and supplement station, complete with everything an ath-lete may need in the way of recovery and carbohydrate replacement beverages and dietary supplements. The four football practice fields include three natural turf fields and one Astroturf field.

Many athletic facilities at Stanford are considered among the best in the country, including Sunken Diamond, home of Stanford base-ball, Maples Pavilion, home to Cardinal basketball and volleyball, among others, the Avery Aquatics Complex, where NCAA champi-ons and future Olympians train, Cobb Track & Angell Field and the Taube Family Tennis Stadium, home to 31 national championship trophies.

Athletics Facilities

Entering the 2006-07 season, the Pacific-10 Conference continues to uphold its tradition as the “Conference of

Champions.”® Pac-10 members have claimed an incredible 138 NCAA team titles over the past 16 seasons, for an aver-age of more than eight championships per academic year.

Even more impressive is the breadth of the Pac-10’s suc-cess, as those 138 team titles have come in 24 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-10 has led the nation in NCAA Championships 40 of the last 46 years and finished second five times.

Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achieve-ment, the Pac-10 has captured 351 NCAA titles (251 men’s, 100 women’s), far outdistancing the runner-up Big Ten Conference’s 205 titles.

The Conference’s reputation is further proven in the annual United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup com-petition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. Stanford con-tinued its remarkable run in the 2005-06 season, winning its 12th consecutive Directors’ Cup. In the 2005-06 competi-tion, seven of the Top-25 Division I programs were Pac-10 members: No. 1 Stanford, No. 2 UCLA, No. 6 California, No. 9 USC, No. 10 Arizona, No. 13 Arizona State and No. 17 Washington. The Pac-10 landed six programs in the Top-15, three more than the second-place SEC (3).

The Pac-10 captured nine NCAA titles in 2005-06 to lead the nation. It should be noted that the Pac-10 total does not include California’s national championship in rugby or men’s crew, as they are not counted as NCAA titles. The Pac-10 led the nation with the most NCAA titles in women’s sports with six.

NCAA team champions from the Pac-10 in 2005-06 came from UCLA (men’s volleyball and women’s water polo), Stanford (women’s cross country and women’s tennis),

Arizona (softball), California (women’s rowing), USC (men’s water polo), Washington (women’s volleyball) and Oregon State (baseball). The Pac-10 also had runners-up in six NCAA Championship events: men’s basketball (UCLA), women’s soccer (UCLA), women’s golf (USC), women’s outdoor track and field (USC), men’s swimming and diving (Arizona) and women’s indoor track and field (Stanford). The Trojans also competed in the BCS National Championship Game, but football is not recognized as an NCAA title. Overall, the Conference had 15 teams finish in the top three at NCAA Championship events.

Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the Conference in 2005-06. Of the 22 sports sponsored by the Pac-10, 18 witnessed at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 56 of a possible 92 teams into the postseason (60.8 percent), while the women sent 61 of a possible 100 teams (61.0 percent).

The Pac-10 experienced continued success in football as the league sent five teams to bowl games. USC claimed its fourth consecutive Pac-10 crown, capping its 12-1 season with a berth in the BCS National Championship game. Overall, the Pac-10 went 3-2 in postseason bowl games with Arizona State, California, Oregon and UCLA also earning bowl appearances. USC tailback Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy, the third Trojan to win the award in four years. USC and Oregon found themselves ranked in the Top-15 in the nation at the conclu-sion of the season, finishing second and 12th, respectively (AP and USA Today).

The Pac-10 also showed its worth on the basketball court, as it sent four teams into the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. UCLA advanced to the national champion-ship game, falling just short to Florida in the finals. The Bruins captured both the Pac-10 regular season championship and the Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament crown. On the women’s side, six teams competed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Conference history. Stanford reached the Elite Eight for the third straight year, while UCLA picked up its first-ever State Farm Pac-10 Tournament Trophy.

The Conference continued its dominance in softball as seven teams earned trips to NCAA regional play, the most out of any conference in the nation. Arizona claimed its seventh national title with a two-game sweep of Northwestern in the championship series. It marked the 18th national champion-ship by a Pac-10 team since 1982. With a 15-5 Conference record, UCLA picked up the 2006 Pac-10 crown, while earn-ing the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division I Softball Championship. Oregon State claimed the 2006 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, earning the school’s first national title since a 1961 cross country championship. The Beavers became the first team in College World Series history to lose twice in Omaha and win the national title. In addition, OSU was the first truly Northern-based school to win the series since Ohio State in 1966.

The Conference also swept NCAA volleyball and water polo honors. Washington captured the women’s volleyball title,

With 351 NCAA titles, the Pacific-10 Conference is clearly the “Conference of Champions”

while UCLA garnered the men’s volleyball hard-ware. Water polo might as well have been labeled Conference play as USC defeated Stanford to claim the national title on the men’s side and UCLA took care of USC to capture the women’s championship. Rowing proved to be another showcase of Pac-10 talent, as California claimed both the NCAA wom-en’s title and the men solidified their title dreams with an IRA championship.

On the men’s side, Pac-10 members have won 251 NCAA team championships, far ahead of the the 190 claimed by the runner-up Big Ten. Men’s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-10 – 15 basketball titles by five schools (more than any other conference), 49 tennis titles, 45 outdoor track and field crowns, and 25 baseball titles. Pac-10 members have won 25 of the last 37 NCAA titles in volleyball, 32 of the last 47 in water polo, and 20 total swimming and diving national championships.

Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA men’s individual champions as well, claiming 1,127 NCAA indi-vidual crowns.

On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA began conducting women’s championships 25 years ago, Pac-10 members have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 17 occasions. Overall, the Pac-10 has captured 100 NCAA women’s crowns, easily outdistancing the Southeastern Conference, which is second with 66. Pac-10 members have dominated a number of sports, winning 18 softball titles, 17 tennis crowns, 11 of the last 16 volleyball titles, 11 of the last 17 tro-phies in golf and eight in swimming and diving.

Pac-10 women athletes shine nationally on an individual basis as well, having captured an unmatched 464 NCAA individual titles, an average of more than 18 champions per season.

The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference go back nearly 90 years to December 15, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at a meeting at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. Original membership consisted of four schools – the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State College (now Oregon State University). All still are charter members of the Conference.

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

In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the University of Southern California and the University of Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 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 intercol-legiate athletic competition to a minimum. In 1950, Montana resigned from the Conference 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 AAWU member-ship 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 name Pacific-8 Conference was adopted.

Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University were admit-ted and the Pacific-10 Conference became 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’s sports. Additionally, the Conference is a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men’s sports and two other women’s sports.

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

The Pacific-10 Conference offices are located 25 miles east of San Francisco in Walnut Creek, Calif.

Stanford’s Scholarship FundingTwo sources provide scholar-ship funds for Stanford’s student-athletes: the Athletic Department’s scholarship endowment and the Buck/Cardinal Club.

Endowed ScholarshipsEndowed scholarships are large sums of money that have been invested in the University’s endowment and generate significant interest income each year. A portion of the income is spent on student aid and the remainder is reinvested in the principal. The following endowed scholar-ships, named for the donor or for some-one the donor wishes to honor, provide full or partial grants-in-aid to members of the 2006-07 men’s basketball team:

The Buck/Cardinal Club

In June of 1934, four dedicated Stanford men

met to discuss the growing concerns facing Stanford’s student-athletes. They were the founding members of the “Tiny Buck of the Month Club.” Members of the club were required to donate one dollar a month to support scholarships for athletes. The word “Tiny” reminded everyone of the small monthly contribution and honored the head football coach “Tiny” Thornhill. The Club’s name was eventually shortened to the “Stanford Buck Club” and the membership dues were revised.

The Cardinal Club was formed in 1977 to help provide scholarship aid for women’s sports. After competing with the Men’s Club as it was called, they merged in 1985 to concentrate the fundraising efforts of both clubs on ALL athletes. After a few name changes, the Buck/Cardinal Club was formed and is now the driving force behind both scholarship aid and program support for Stanford student-athletes.

Almost $6 million is currently raised annually in scholarship aid and program support through the gifts of the Buck/Cardinal Club and Buck/Cardinal Champions Fund’s 6,000 members. The Buck/Cardinal Champions Fund was added in 2006 to provide priority seating at Stanford Stadium.

For more information on the Buck/Cardinal Club and giving to Stanford Athletics, please go to www.gostanford.com.

Media Coverage

Media Coverage

In the late 1980s and now in the new millennium, Stanford basketball has ranked high among the nation’s collegiate schools in regards to

national, regional and local newspaper, radio and TV coverage.Media exposure means positive publicity and potential honors

for both the Stanford team and individual players. During the last 19 years, 20 Cardinal players have been accorded all Pac-10 honors 32 times. And eleven players have earned All-America status 49 times.

During the season, Stanford head coach Trent Johnson hosts a weekly news conference, the Pac-10 holds a weekly teleconference, and Cardinal coaches and players are generally available before and after daily practice.

In 2006-07, nearly every Stanford basketball game will be tele-vised nationally, regionally or locally.

Stanford basketball games are covered on a regular basis by eight San Francisco Bay Area newspapers as well as Associated Press. Numerous articles concerning Stanford basketball have also been written in such national publications as USA Today, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, Basketball Times, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning-News, The Chicago Sun-Times, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Kansas City Star, The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, The Austin American-Statesman, The Baltimore Sun, The San Diego Union-Tribune and Newsday. In addition, there are seven Bay Area television stations, including three network affiliates, which cover Stanford games regularly.

RadioKNTS 1220 AM in San Francisco is in its first

season as the radio home of Stanford basketball. In addition, Stanford basketball is broadcast over the Stanford student radio station, KZSU 90.1 FM.

Bob Murphy, a familiar name to the Stanford community for over half a century, will once again handle the radio play-by-play duties for Stanford basketball. Murphy, a former Sports Information Director at Stanford and Athletic Director at San Jose State, has been part of the Stanford broadcast team for over 30 years. Murphy was Stanford’s SID during the football team’s back-to-back Rose Bowl years in 1970 and 1971, and was an all-conference pitcher on Stanford’s first-ever College World Series baseball team in 1953. A member of the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame, Murphy also teams with Ted Robinson on Stanford football radio broadcasts.

John Platz, a reserve guard on Stanford basketball teams coached by Dr. Tom Davis in the early 1980s, is in his 17th season as the radio color commentator. Platz was radio play-by-play voice of the NCAA champion Stanford baseball team during the 1988 and 1989 seasons, and he has also served as a fill-in Stanford football play-by-play announcer and football color commentator at various times since 1993. A 1984 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stanford with a degree in economics, Platz earned J.D. (law) and M.B.A. degrees at Stanford in 1989. He is currently Associate General Counsel at WebEx Communications, Inc. in San Jose.

“At Stanford, it’s still done the right way. Talented student-athletes who are well-spoken, polite, respectful of opponents, and who manage to graduate on time. And – oh yes, athletes who win.”

Dave Newhouse, Oakland Tribune

“The Stanford basketball team is a great group of guys, who are not only excellent players, but great people as well; bright, articulate, true student-athletes.”

CNN

“Stanford has kids who can communicate, a delight to interview.”

Stanford in the Community

The Stanford Men’s Basketball team is committed to an active community outreach program that involves coaches, players and

staff with different groups in the Bay Area.The Stanford Men’s Basketball team is committed to an active

community outreach program that involves coaches, players and staff with different groups in the Bay Area.

Stanford Basketball continued its longstanding tradition of involvement in the community during the 2005-06 season. The players, coaches and staff recognize that the loyalty of the fans comes with a responsibility to give back to the community – and not just by winning games. The commitment and loyalty of each member of the Stanford Basketball program is showcased throughout the community as the program extends itself to individuals and groups through speeches at local schools, youth clinics and various charity events.

Last fall, the Stanford Men’s Basketball and its 6th Man student fan club announced a partnership with Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital that benefited the care of children at the hospital through t-shirt sales. For the first time, the club sold special 6th Man Club shirts to the general public. Half of proceeds from shirt sales went directly to the Lucile Packard Children’s Fund, which supports services that help make the hospital experience child and family friendly, groundbreaking research into new treatments for child-hood diseases, and care for local children who are uninsured or whose families cannot afford to fully pay for services.

During the 2004-05 season, the team took a visit with the kids at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Chris Hernandez said, “I really feel good about this event and the way our team reaches out to people when they are here.” Patients and players alike look forward to the annual visit, as it gives the kids an opportunity to see their local heroes, while giving the Stanford team a chance to really inter-act with fans – and to act like kids again – at least for a few hours!

During the past couple years, the Stanford Basketball players have also taken time from their busy schedule during the Pac-10 season to join with members of the Stanford Graduate School of Business Challenge for Charity program for a basketball clinic for Special Olympics athletes. More than 200 athletes gathered at the Ford Center to take part in the clinic. Coaches Tony Fuller and Eric Reveno led the activities while several players demonstrated funda-mentals to athletes and coaches from Special Olympics before end-ing the day with a pizza feast. The Stanford program have donated more than 40 basketballs to Special Olympics groups across the Peninsula.

The coaches have held youth clinics in conjunction with Neil Phillips and the Positive Coaching Alliance in recent years. In 2004-05, the three-hour session in Maples Pavilion gave the 100 youth

coaches in attendance the chance to learn from and interact with the entire Stanford coaching staff.

The Cardinal has also created a program called “Cardinal for a Day.” The program is set up as a package for local charity auctions. The kids come to The Farm, have breakfast with the players, watch practice, and take a tour of Maples Pavilion and a few classrooms on campus before attending a clinic with the players.

The Stanford men’s team has held a tip-off breakfast and along with the women’s program that in the past has raised over $70,000 by participating in the “Compaq 3 Point Attack.” The Coaches versus Cancer program was initiated in 1993 as a link between the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the American Cancer Society (ACS). Over the past eleven years, this program has raised over ten million dollars for ACS programs nationwide. All money raised stays within the community to assist the local ACS.

After the season ends, all of the players take time whenever possible to visit local schools and recreation centers in the community. The players read to the kids and explain their lives as student-athletes. In recent years, members of the team participated in the 400 meter relay against local youth teams at the U.S. Track and Field Open.

Boy’s basketball camp scholarships and a ticket donation pro-gram are two other areas where the basketball office attempts to benefit the surrounding community. Through donations from many generous people in the area, ten underprivileged kids attended the camp – enjoying the Stanford campus and its facilities. The ticket donation program works by having season ticket holders mail back their tickets for games they are unable to attend. Countless youth and disabled groups benefited from the thoughtfulness of our fans last year.

The Stanford Basketball team will continue their dedication to the community its year and many more in the future.
