List of Stanford University people

This page lists the members of Stanford University, including students, alumni, faculty and academic affiliates associated.

Founded in 1885 by former California Governor and U.S. Senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Stanford, the university was opened on October 1, 1891 as a coeducational and non-denominational institution. During the 1950s and 1960s, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurship to build self-sufficient local industry in what would later be known as Silicon Valley.

Acting presidents were temporary appointments. Swain served while Wilbur was United States Secretary of the Interior under Herbert Hoover; Eurich and Faust after the unexpected death of Tresidder.

The position was created in 1952.

This position is often empty and has always been held by a former president.

Though Stanford did not originally have schools, over the years the departments have all been collected into schools.
