Who We Are 我们是谁
From its founding in California in the late 19th century until today, Stanford has been infused with the American West’s spirit of openness and possibility. We believe strongly in the mission of higher education – to create and share knowledge and to prepare students to be curious, to think critically, and to contribute to the world. With world-class scholars and seven schools located together on a single campus, Stanford offers academic excellence across the broadest array of disciplines. It also is an engine of innovation, blending theory and practice to move ideas and discoveries from labs and classrooms out into the world. We strive to foster a culture of expansive inquiry, fresh thinking, searching discussion, and freedom of thought – preparing students for leadership and engaged citizenship in the world.
自19世纪末在加州创立至今，斯坦福大学始终浸润着美国西部开放与机遇的精神。我们坚信高等教育的使命——创造与分享知识，培养学生永葆好奇、批判思考并为世界贡献力量。凭借世界级学者和齐聚同一校园的七大学院，斯坦福提供跨越多学科的卓越学术体系，更成为融合理论与实践、将思想与发现从实验室与课堂推向世界的创新引擎。我们致力于培育广博探索、新鲜思维、深度讨论与思想自由的文化，培养学生成为未来的全球领袖与积极公民。
Excellence in education across disciplines 跨学科的卓越教育
Stanford provides students the opportunity to engage with big ideas, to cross conceptual and disciplinary boundaries, and to become global citizens who embrace diversity of thought and experience. We offer broad and deep academic programs across multiple fields, including the arts and humanities, natural and social sciences, engineering, sustainability, medicine, law, education, and business. The university’s scholarly excellence and culture of innovation uniquely position it to attract the best faculty in the world, who offer students the knowledge and tools to discover and embrace new ideas, and to prepare for successful careers and lives of service. The need for strong ethical principles to achieve a common good is embedded across our educational offerings.
斯坦福让学生有机会接触宏大理念，跨越概念与学科边界，成为拥抱思想与经验多样性的世界公民。我们提供涵盖人文艺术、自然科学、社会科学、工程、可持续发展、医学、法学、教育学及商学等领域的广博学术项目。大学的学术卓越与创新文化使其独具吸引力，汇聚全球顶尖学者，为学生提供探索新思想的知识与工具，助其成就事业与奉献人生。我们对强伦理原则促进共同福祉的追求，深植于所有教育实践之中。
Encouraging open minds and constructive dialogue 鼓励开放思维与建设性对话
Discovery and learning require fresh ideas and open discussion. We strive to foster searching discussion, to listen with curiosity, and to ensure the freedom of our university community to study and learn. This includes the freedom to pursue knowledge without constraints; the freedom to challenge orthodoxy, whether old or new; and the freedom to think and speak openly. ePluribus Stanford, a key university-wide initiative, empowers students to think critically and empathetically, engage in meaningful conversations across differences, and embrace active, life-long roles in civic life through whatever field or career path they pursue. Stanford believes that addressing the challenges the world faces requires people from diverse disciplines and backgrounds coming together and deliberating across disagreement. ePluribus Stanford aims to achieve this goal by elevating and amplifying research and education related to free speech, civics, democratic citizenship, and constructive dialogue.
发现与学习需要新思想和开放讨论。我们致力促进深度对话，以好奇之心倾听，守护大学共同体研习与探索的自由。这包括无拘束追求知识的自由、挑战新旧正统的自由，以及开放思考与发声的自由。全校性重点项目"融汇多元斯坦福"助力学生批判性与共情式思考，开展跨差异有意义对话，并在无论何种领域或职业路径中积极投身公民生活。斯坦福相信应对世界挑战需要多元学科与背景者汇聚一堂，跨越分歧共商对策。"融汇多元斯坦福"旨在通过提升自由言论、公民意识、民主公民素养及建设性对话相关研究与教育，实现这一目标。
Interdisciplinary research fueled by innovation 创新驱动的跨学科研究
A hallmark of Stanford is our extensive and vibrant ecosystem of interdisciplinary research. With all seven of Stanford’s schools located on our historic campus and many institutes serving as a hub for collaboration across academic fields, the opportunities for disruptive breakthroughs are numerous and the results are evident. Our newest school in 70 years, the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, draws on deep interdisciplinary understanding of Earth, climate, and society to create knowledge and scalable sustainability solutions. Stanford’s community of scholars is recognized for accomplishments across a broad range of academic fields. In addition to 36 Nobel Prize winners since the university’s founding – tied among research universities for the most Nobel Prizes won since 2000 – Stanford is also home to numerous recipients of Pulitzer Prizes, National Medals, and MacArthur Fellows. Discoveries made at Stanford not only expand our understanding of the world but also fuel the innovation economy and America’s international competitiveness.
斯坦福的标志性特色在于广泛而活跃的跨学科研究生态。七大学院均坐落于历史校园，众多研究院成为学术领域协作枢纽，催生大量颠覆性突破机遇，成果显著。我校70年来最新成立的斯坦福杜尔可持续发展学院，依托对地球、气候与社会的深层跨学科理解，创造知识与可扩展的可持续发展方案。斯坦福学者群体以广泛学术成就闻名于世——自建校以来涌现36位诺贝尔奖得主（研究型大学中2000年后获奖数并列第一），更孕育众多普利策奖、国家勋章与麦克阿瑟天才奖获得者。斯坦福的发现不仅拓展人类认知，更助推创新经济与美国国际竞争力。

Strong relationships with our neighbors 深厚的邻里纽带
Stanford is proud to be a citizen of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. We engage and build meaningful relationships with our neighbors through events, public exhibitions and performances in the arts, lectures, and lifelong learning, both on campus and online. Stanford has a strong commitment to the arts, and we invite our community to visit our two world-class museums, multiple performance venues, and the historic buildings and open spaces of our campus. We support local parents with access to health information, help K-12 teachers increase interest and involvement in math and science, and provide the local business community with access to lectures by today’s entrepreneurial thought leaders.
斯坦福以作为硅谷与湾区一员为荣。我们通过线下与线上活动、艺术公开展览与演出、讲座及终身学习项目，与邻里建立有意义联结。斯坦福高度重视艺术，邀请社区参观两座世界级博物馆、多个表演场馆及校园历史建筑与开放空间。我们为本地家长提供健康资讯，助力K-12教师提升数理教学吸引力，并为商界带来当代创业思想领袖讲座。
Stanford History 斯坦福历史
The Leland Stanford Junior University was founded in 1885 by Jane and Leland Stanford in memory of their only child, Leland Jr., who died of typhoid fever at 15. After his 1884 death, the Stanfords determined that they would use their wealth to do something for other people’s children.
小利兰·斯坦福大学由简和利兰·斯坦福于1885年为纪念逝于15岁伤寒的独子而创立。爱子1884年离世后，斯坦福夫妇决意用财富造福他人子女。
They decided to create a university that was, from the outset, untraditional: coeducational in a time when most private universities were all-male; nondenominational when most were associated with a religious organization; and practical, producing cultured and useful citizens. The Founding Grant states the university’s objective is “to qualify its students for personal success, and direct usefulness in life” and its purpose “to promote the public welfare by exercising an influence in behalf of humanity and civilization.”
他们决定创建一所突破传统的大学：在多数私立大学只招男生时实行男女同校；在多数院校隶属宗教组织时保持非宗教属性；注重实践，培养有教养且有用的公民。《建校宪章》申明大学目标是"使学生获得个人成功与人生直接效用"，宗旨是"通过弘扬人性与文明影响力促进公共福祉"。
The campus sits on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people. Today, the university and the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe are partners in community-led archaeology, historic interpretation and a native plant garden.
校园坐落于Muwekma Ohlone部落祖传土地之上，这片土地对Ohlone人民始终至关重要。如今，大学与Muwekma Ohlone部落合作开展社区主导的考古、历史阐释及原生植物园项目。
Leland Stanford, who served as California’s governor and senator, devoted to the university the fortune he had earned, first by supplying provisions to the ’49ers mining for California gold and later as one of the “Big Four,” whose Central Pacific Railroad laid tracks eastward to meet the Union Pacific and complete the transcontinental railway. Included in the Founding Grant was the Stanfords’ Palo Alto Stock Farm for the breeding and training of trotting horses, 35 miles south of the family’s San Francisco residence. The Stanfords stipulated that the land they conveyed to the university could not be sold, and the campus still carries the nickname “the Farm.”
曾任加州州长与参议员的利兰·斯坦福将财富奉献于大学——他最初通过为加州淘金者"49ers"供应物资积累财富，后作为"四大巨头"之一主导中央太平洋铁路东进与联合太平洋铁路接轨，建成横贯大陆铁路。《建校宪章》包含斯坦福夫妇的帕洛阿尔托育种农场（用于培育训练速步马），距旧金山宅邸以南35英里。斯坦福夫妇规定捐赠土地永不得出售，校园由此得昵称"农场"。
The Stanfords engaged landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to design the campus. Their collaboration with Olmsted and the architectural firm of Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge resulted in Stanford’s characteristic buildings of local sandstone with red-tiled roofs, surrounding a cloistered quadrangle with Memorial Church as its focus. The rectangular plan of the Main Quadrangle was designed to provide for expansion through a series of quadrangles developed laterally. Stanford opened its doors on Oct. 1, 1891, with some 555 students enrolled in the first year.
斯坦福夫妇聘请景观设计师弗雷德里克·劳·奥姆斯特德设计校园。他们与奥姆斯特德及谢普利、鲁坦与柯立芝建筑事务所的合作，造就了斯坦福标志性的本地砂岩建筑与红瓦屋顶，环绕以纪念教堂为中心的拱廊方院。主方院矩形规划旨在通过横向扩展一系列院落实现发展。斯坦福于1891年10月1日开学，首批录取约555名学生。
