The official name is the Leland Stanford Junior University.
Leland Stanford Junior died of typhoid at age 15. Yes, the university is named after a high school sophomore.
Whatever your grandparents might think, this is not an Ivy League school.
Back in 1934, Columbia totally pwned Stanford in the 1934 Rose Bowl, when the Lions defeated the Indians 7-0 in Pasadena.
"Stanford" is an anagram of "snodfart".
Like the Columbia University Marching Band, the Stanford University Marching Band prides itself in irreverence and cleverness. This is only the claim, however. While admittedly the Stanford Band members are quite irreverent, they are not very clever.
