The 1893 Stanford football team

Stanford University, officially Leland Stanford Junior University, is a private, coeducational research university located near Palo Alto, California. Stanford opened on October 1, 1891, to memorialize Leland Stanford, Jr., son of former California governor Leland Stanford, who died of typhoid fever in 1884.[1] Initial enrollment in 1891 consisted of 555 men and women;[1] as of 2010, the university has 15,319 students, with 6,878 undergraduate and 8,441 postgraduate members.[2]

In 2010, Stanford sponsored 32 varsity teams that competed in 18 sports: American football, baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, diving, fencing, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, synchronized swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. When the university opened in 1891, one varsity team, football, was fielded,[3] with a baseball team forming in spring of the following year.[4] Many Stanford alumni have become professional athletes and coaches in sports leagues including, but not limited to, Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), and Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
