    This nation abounds in stories. Stories of valor, religion, government and more. This story is over education. And how universities are founded, in some cases at least. I think this story should be learned by a good number of people.

    Mr. Stanford served as the governor of CA at one point. And here in my city, he planned to construct his great university. Turns out his wife happened to sway him to the present site. Here we had "warm springs" that was then a place of health cures, they thought.
