Stanford University, Palo Alto
The loving creation of Leland and Jane Stanford, tree-lined Stanford University has been educating and inspiring students for over 115 years. Leland Stanford-California Governor and one of the "Big Four" businessmen who helped build the transcontinental railroad- had a dream: to create a co-educational university of "practical education", producing "cultured and useful citizens". Today, Stanford is one of the world's leading universities, stressing research along with teaching. During your treasure hunt here, you'll explore the central campus' many plazas and arched arcades, dotted with public art and interesting architectural details. Expect to see a stylish water clock; statues from New Guinea; Rodin's thinker, and plenty more. (Watch our 2-minute video preview to see what a typical Dr. Clue program looks and feels like!)
