The Buck/Cardinal Club

In June of 1934, four dedicatedStanford men met to discuss the growingconcerns facing Stanford’s student-ath-letes. They were the founding members ofthe “Tiny Buck of the Month Club.”Members of the club were required todonate one dollar a month to supportscholarships for athletes. The word “Tiny”reminded everyone of the small monthlycontribution and honored the head foot-ball coach “Tiny” Thornhill. The Club’sname was eventually shortened to the“Stanford Buck Club” and the member-ship dues were revised.

The Cardinal Club was formed in 1977to help provide scholarship aid forwomen’s sports. After competing with theMen’s Club as it was called, they merged in1985 to concentrate the fundraising effortsof both clubs on ALL athletes. After a fewname changes, the Buck/Cardinal Clubwas formed and is now the driving forcebehind both scholarship aid and programsupport for Stanford student-athletes.

Almost $6 million is currently raisedannually in scholarship aid and programsupport through the gifts of theBuck/Cardinal Club and Buck/CardinalChampions Fund’s 6,000 members. TheBuck/Cardinal Champions Fund wasadded in 2006 to provide priority seatingat Stanford Stadium.

Stanford Volleyball Program PolicyThe goal of the Stanford University women’s volleyball program is to provide a student-athlete withan atmosphere in which they will grow and prepare to succeed after college.

The keys to this goal are:• Successfully balancing academics, athletics

and social activities.• Setting priorities and making commitments as well as sacrifices within the team concept.• Learning to develop a realistic perspective on life.• Providing players with a sound fundamental base, a competitive practice environment each and

every day, and the most challenging schedule of any team in the country.

Stanford University

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 real-

ization 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 university

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 fore-

told greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of

1892, “Even our fondest hopes have been realized.” The University at a Glance

Millions of volumes are housed in many libraries throughout the campus.

Ideas of “Practical Education”

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

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

Current Perspectives

In other ways, the university has changed tremendouslyon 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 anhour’s drive south of San Francisco and just a few milesnorth of the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer andhigh technology firms largely spawned by the university’sfaculty and graduates. On campus, students and facultyenjoy new libraries, modern laboratories, sports facilities,and comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as wellas pieces from the Stanford Museum’s extensive collection ofsculpture by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the cam-pus, providing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At theStanford Medical Center, world-renowned for its research,teaching, and patient care, scientists and physicians aresearching for answers to fundamental questions about healthand disease. Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford’sHopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay, scientists areworking to better understand the mechanisms of evolution,human development, and ecological systems.

The university is organized into seven schools: EarthSciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School ofBusiness, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. Inaddition, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, pro-grams, and research laboratories – including the HooverInstitution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute forInternational Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center;and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Childrenand Youth – where faculty from a wide range of fields bringdifferent perspectives to bear on issues and problems.Stanford’s Overseas Studies Program offers students in allfields remarkable opportunities for study abroad, with cam-puses in Paris, Kyoto, Santiago, Berlin, Oxford, Florence, andMoscow.

Stanford People

By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbersapproximately 1,700 – is one of the most distinguished inthe nation. It includes 16 Nobel laureates, 4 Pulitzer Prizewinners, 21 National Medal of Science winners, 132 mem-bers of the National Academy of Sciences, 223 members ofthe American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 80 members ofthe National Academy of Engineering, and 23 members ofthe National Academy of Education. Yet beyond their arrayof honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is theircommitment to sharing knowledge with their students. Thegreat majority of professors teach undergraduates both inintroductory 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 fromCalifornia, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countriesare represented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percentare African American, Asian American, Hispanic or NativeAmerican. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is dis-tinguished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford forevery place in the freshman class. Eighty-four Stanford stu-dents have been named Rhodes Scholars, 66 have beennamed Marshall Scholars, and 48 have been named TrumanScholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan toattend graduate or professional schools. Stanford studentsalso shine in a tremendous array of activities outside theclassroom – from student government to music, theater, andjournalism. 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 PaloAlto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic.

In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyedtremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 35Division I varsity sports – equally divided between men’s andwomen’s teams. Of Stanford’s 104 national team titles, 52have been captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation.Thirty-eight of Stanford’s athletes and coaches participatedin the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlantaat the 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the 2000Games in Sydney – by far the most of any university in thenation – and 42 Stanford athletes competed at the 2004Games 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 reached9,000, with many students active in more than one sport.

Looking Ahead

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

Stanford Universitystill enjoys the original 8,100 acresof grassy fields, eucalyptus groves,and rolling hills thatwere the Stanfords’generous legacy.


Stanford Athletics – The Home of Champions

The Stanford women’s tennisteam has captured five of thepast six NCAA titles.

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

And for good reason. No athletic department in the countrycan boast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplishedsince the 1980’s. NCAA team champions. NCAA individualchampions. Olympic medalists. Stanford University athletes havebeen all over the world capturing championships.

The statistics speak for themselves: Stanford University haswon 75 NCAA team championships since 1980, the most in thenation; Cardinal athletes have won 52 NCAA championshipssince 1990 – again the most in the nation. Stanford has broughthome 31 NCAA championship trophies the past eight years,including an unprecedented six NCAA team titles in 1996-97. In1991-92, 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 consecutiveDirectors’ Cup titles (1995-2006). The award honors the nation’stop overall athletic program and with 12 straight victories in thecompetition, it is no wonder Stanford is considered the dominantathletic program in the nation.

Stanford captured its 12th straight Directors’ Cup in 2005-06.The Cardinal won a total of three national team crowns (twoNCAA) in synchronized swimming (U.S. Collegiate), women’stennis and women’s cross country. Stanford had a total of 20 Top10 finishes with men’s water polo, women’s basketball, men’sswimming, women’s swimming, men’s gymnastics, women’sindoor track, men’s crew, women’s sailing, men’s tennis andwomen’s water polo joining the national champions in the TopFive. 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 championshipfor 30 straight years. Cardinal teams have also won four or moreNCAA team titles in a single year nine times, an NCAA best.

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

women have won an NCAA-best 35 team championships whilemen’s teams have captured 57 NCAA team titles, third-best in thenation. Overall, Stanford’s 92 NCAA team championships ranksecond in the nation.

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

The best athletic year in school history arguably came in1996-97 when Cardinal teams set an NCAA record by winningsix NCAA team championships in a single academic year: men’sand women’s cross country; men’s and women’s volleyball; and

men’s and women’s tennis. Nine other teams finished in the TopFour nationally, including second-place finishes in women’sswimming, men’s swimming, men’s water polo and women’ssynchronized swimming. Stanford also posted third-place fin-ishes in women’s basketball, baseball and fencing, as well asfourth place finishes in women’s golf and women’s water polo.In addition, the Stanford co-ed sailing team added a ICYRAnational championship.

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

Not only has the Cardinal won an NCAA record six NCAAteam championships in a single season (1996-97), but it has alsowon five NCAA titles in a single year on three occasions: 1991-92,’94-95 and ’97-98. Cardinal teams have won four championshipsin 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 18conference or regional championships in 1998-99 – by far the bestperformance of any school in the nation.

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

Stanford has simply dominated in several sports. The Cardinalmen’s tennis team has won 17 NCAA titles while the women’ssquad has hauled in 16 national titles. Other programs to havebrought 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 compe-tition. Stanford was represented by 43 affiliates at the most recentOlympic Games that took place in 2004 in Athens, Greece. TheCardinal totaled 17 medals (three gold, seven silver, seven bronze).

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

At the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Stanford placed 49 coaches andathletes on Olympic teams, including three head United StatesOlympic 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 onebronze in Atlanta.

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

Olympic gold medalists are numerous on The Farm. FormerCardinal standout Bob Mathias won back-to-back Olympicdecathlon gold medals in 1948 and ’52, while swimmers PabloMorales, Jenny Thompson, Summer Sanders, Janet Evans and MistyHyman have become household names in the swimming world.

Morales, who helped Stanford win three straight NCAA teamchampionships (1985-87), won three medals at the 1984 Gamesin Los Angeles (one gold, two silver) and two more gold medals atthe 1992 Games in Barcelona. Evans won three golds in the 1988Games in Seoul, and one gold and one silver in Barcelona, whileSanders won four medals in Barcelona; two gold, one silver andone bronze. Thompson is the most decorated athlete in Olympichistory with 12 medals (eight gold, three silver, one bronze).Hyman added her name to the list of Stanford swimming greatsby winning the 2000 Olympic gold medal in the 200 meter but-terfly to pull off one of the biggest upsets of the SydneyOlympiad.

A list of the great student-athletes in the history of StanfordAthletics would be difficult to even come close to compiling but afew of the great names in the amazing history of StanfordAthletics include Tom Watson and Tiger Woods (golf); TimMayotte, John McEnroe and Roscoe Tanner (men’s tennis); KeriWalsh, Ogonna Nnamani, Kim Oden and Logan Tom (women’svolleyball); Kristin Folkl (women’s basketball/volleyball); JackMcDowell and Mike Mussina (baseball); Julie Foudy (women’ssoccer); Hank Luisetti, Brevin Knight and Mark Madsen (men’sbasketball); Jennifer Azzi, Nicole Powell and Kate Starbird(women’s basketball); Tony Azevedo (men’s water polo); JimPlunkett, John Elway and Troy Walters (football); Debi Thomas(figure skating); Eric Heiden (speed skating) and the great ErnieNevers (football); just to name a few.

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

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.

San Francisco Bay Area

Beyond the Campus

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

To the south of Stanford are Santa Clara and San Jose, theanchors to the Silicon Valley. Computer firms and softwarecompanies can be found throughout the region, which isconsidered the leader among the world’s high technologyindustry. Lest you think that the valley is all business,though, spend a day at Paramount’s Great America, delveinto the wonders of technology at the Tech Museum ofInnovation or explore the Winchester Mystery House.

One of the world’s great stretches of coastline is locatedwithin a short drive from Stanford University. To the south isthe Monterey Peninsula, which includes the picturesquecoastal towns of Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. TheMonterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and 17-Mile Drivealong Pebble Beach are musts for visitors.

And if you bring your golf clubs, some of most famousgolf courses can be found on the Monterey Peninsula,including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Cypress Point. TheBeach Boardwalk, which features a historic wooden rollercoaster, 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 ferryboatride past Alcatraz Island are the coastal towns of Tiburon,Larkspur and Sausalito.

A short drive north and east of Marin County gets youinto the Napa Wine Country, home to dozens of well-knownvintners. Within a few hours drive from the Bay Area is LakeTahoe, home to some of the finest skiing in the country.
