Rising period:
Stanford took off after the 1970s, thanks to its large area, over 8,000 acres, and the large space available for schools. So in 195 1 year, Terman, the president of the School of Engineering, put forward an idea: lease 1000 mu of land to the industrial and commercial circles or alumni for a long time at a very low nominal rent to set up a company, and then they will cooperate with the school to provide students with various research projects and internship opportunities.
Stanford became the first university in the United States to establish an industrial park on its campus. Surrounded by science and technology groups and enterprises, Stanford University has established close ties with high technology, commerce, pragmatism and pioneering spirit, which are typical American spirits. Stanford University has become more and more important, and has since become the core of Silicon Valley and the center of scientific and technological innovation all over the world.
