Stanford's Original Architect - Bruce Wang - 03-15-2017
This month's Stanford magazine features a fascinating article about the development of its original master plan. Until I read this article, I did not know that the Stanfords hired Fred Olmsted, the same guy who designed Central Park.

IIRC the mag has had other articles about this over the years as well, and I always find them fascinating

I only knew because I took a tour of the Engineering Quad during my last reunion, and they mentioned it. Pretty remarkable, when you think about it.
