Stanford University

1 Stanford University is sometimes called"the Harvard of the West".The closeness of
Stanford to San Francisco,a city thirty-two miles to the north,gives the university a
decidedly cosmopolitan（世界性的）flavor.
2 The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States.But most of the fifty
states send students to Stanford,and many foreign students study here,as well.And
standards for admission remain high.Young men and women are selected to enter the
university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.
3 Not only because of the high caliber（素质）of its students but also because of the
desirable location and climate,Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world's most
respected scholars.The university staff has included many Nobel Prize winners in various
fields.Stanford's undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business,
law,and medicine are especially well-regarded.
4 What is student life like on"The Farm"?Culturally,the campus is a magnet for both
students and citizens of nearby communities.Plays,concerts,and operas are performed
in the university's several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater,where graduations are
also held.Several film series are presented during the school year.Guest lecturers from
public and academic life frequently appear on campus.For the sports-minded,the
Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities.Team sports,swimming,and
track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture.So are bicycling and
jogging.
5 In addition to financial support from alumni（校友）,Stanford receives grants from the
government and from private charities.In recent years,government grants have made
possible advanced studies in the fields of history,psychology,education,and atomic
energy.At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program,financed in part
by the Ford Foundation's 25 million grant.Recently added to the campus are a new physics
building,new school of business,new graduate school of law,new student union,and
undergraduate library.

A:both indoors and outdoors
B:both home and abroad
