About the University
O
n October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on
hand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford
Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusiastically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that
morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford! Its wild and
spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adventure.
As a pioneer faculty member recalled, “Hope was in every heart,
and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us to dare greatly.”
For the Stanford’s on that day, the university was the realization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their only
son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his sixteenth
birthday. Far from the nation’s center of culture and unencum-

bered by tradition or ivy, the new university drew students from
all over the country: many from California; some who followed
professors hired from other colleges and universities; and some
simply seeking adventure in the West. Though there were many
difficulties during the first months – housing was inadequate,
microscopes and books were late in arriving from the East – the
first year foretold of greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the
summer of 1892, “Even our fondest hopes have been realized.”

About the University
Ideas of “Practical Education”
Stanford People
Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families of
modest means and had built their way up through a life of hard
work. So it was natural that their first thoughts were to establish
an institution where young men and women could “grapple
successfully with the practicalities of life.” As their thoughts
matured, these ideas of “practical education” enlarged to the
concept of producing cultured and useful citizens who were
well-prepared for professional success.
Nearly 116 years later, the university still enjoys the original
8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields, eucalyptus
groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanford’s generous legacy,
as well as the Quadrangle of “long corridors with their stately
pillars” at the center of campus. It is still true, as the philosopher
William James said, during his stint as a visiting professor, that
the climate is “so friendly ... that every morning wakes one fresh
for new amounts of work.”
By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbers just over
1,800 – is one of the most distinguished in the nation. As of
the June of 2007, the faculty included 18 Nobel Laureates, four
Pulitzer Prize winners, 24 MacArthur Fellows, 21 recipients of the
National Medal of Science, three National Medley of Technology
recipients, 228 members of the National Academy of Arts and
Sciences, 135 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 83
National Academy of Engineering members, 29 members of the
National Academy of Education, seven Wolf Foundation Prize
winners, seven winners of the Koret Foundation Prize and three
Presidential Medal of Freedom winners. Yet beyond their array
of honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their commitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The great
majority of professors teach undergraduates both in introductory
lecture classes and in small advanced seminars.
Currently 14881 students, of which 6689 are undergraduates,
live and study on campus. A little more than 40 percent come
from California, but all 50 states and approximately 68 countries
are represented as well. Among undergraduates, approximately
55 percent are African American, Asian American, International,
Mexican American, Native American, Native Hawaiian or Other
Hispanic in ethnicity. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body
is distinguished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford
for every place in the freshman class with 89% of those admitted
finishing in the top 10% of their high school class. Ninety-four
Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars, 74 have been
selected Marshall Award winners, and 49 have been chosen Truman
Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan to attend
graduate or professional schools. Stanford students also shine in a
tremendous array of activities outside the classroom – from student
government to music, theater, and journalism. Through the Haas
Center for Public Service, students participate in many community
service activities, such as tutoring programs for children in nearby
East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic.
In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyed tremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 36 Division I varsity
sports (15 men, 20 women, 1 co-ed). Of Stanford’s 94 NCAA
titles (107 national), 54 have been captured since 1990, by far the
most in the nation. Thirty-eight of Stanford’s athletes and coaches
participated in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed
in Atlanta at the 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the
2000 Games in Sydney, and 43 Stanford associates competed at
the 2004 Games in Athens. Intramural and club sports are also
popular; over 1,000 students take part in the club sports program,
while participation in the intramural program has reached 9,000,
with many students active in more than one sport.
Current Perspectives
In other ways, the university has changed tremendously on its
way to recognition as one of the world’s great universities. At the
hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is less than hour’s
drive south of San Francisco and just a few minutes north of the
Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and high technology
firms largely spawned by the university’s faculty and graduates.
On campus, students and faculty enjoy new libraries, modern
laboratories, tremendous sports and recreation facilities, and
comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as pieces
from the Stanford Museum’s extensive collection of sculpture
by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, providing
unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the Stanford Medical
Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching, and patient
care, scientists and physicians are searching for answers to fundamental questions about health and disease. Ninety miles down the
coast, at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay,
scientists are working to better understand the mechanisms of
evolution, human development, and ecological systems.
The university is organized into seven schools: Earth Sciences,
Education, Engineering, the Graduate School of Business,
Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addition,
there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, programs, and
research laboratories – including the Hoover Institution on War,
Revolution and Peace; the Institute for International Studies;
the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Stanford Center
for the Study of Families, Children and Youth – where faculty
from a wide range of fields bring different perspectives to bear
on issues and problems. Stanford’s Overseas Studies Program
offers students in all fields remarkable opportunities for study
abroad, with campuses in Australia, Beijing, Berlin, Cape Town,
Florence, Kyoto, Madrid, Moscow, Oxford, Paris, and Santiago.

Looking Ahead
In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, Jane Stanford
said, “. . . Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughts and ways,
and dare to think on new lines as to the future of the work under
our care.”
Her thoughts echo in the words of former Stanford President
Gerhard Casper, who has said, “The true university must reinvent
itself every day . . . At Stanford, these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support for our fundamental tasks – teaching,
learning, and research.”

rom bustling cosmopolitan cities to quiet coastal retreats,
the San Francisco Bay Area is incomparable. First-class
attractions, world-class athletics, cultural diversity, remarkable skylines and breathtaking views make this region one of
the world’s most popular destinations.
Stanford University is a gateway to the remarkable region.
The campus is located less than an hour’s drive from San
Francisco to the north, just minutes from Silicon Valley to
the south and within easy reach of the breathtaking coastal
cities that line the Pacific Ocean to the west.
San Francisco has been named by Conde Nast Traveler
magazine as the No. 1 travel destination in the United States
for 14 years in a row and 18 of the past 19 years. San Francisco
also scored as the third-favorite city in the world after only
Sydney, Australia, and Florence, Italy, in the most recent rankings in the magazine’s November 2006 issue. Surrounded on
three sides by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, San
Francisco is located on a hilly peninsula, occupying just 47
square miles of land. With an estimated population of just
under 750,000, a central location and well-served by excellent
transit and highways, San Francisco is the center of the San
Francisco Bay Area – the nation’s fifth largest metropolitan

area with a population of more than 7.0 million – and host to
an estimated 16 million visitors each year.
The City is a cultural wonderland, an ethnic treasure chest
where custom, tradition and history are preserved, celebrated
and shared. From the vibrant counterculture in the HaightAshbury area to the young and glamorous tech survivors in
their South of Market lofts, San Francisco is a golden dream
come true.
Visitors and residents of San Francisco have a playground
of diversity at their fingertips. Fisherman’s Wharf is a mustsee for all that includes waterfront marketplaces such as
PIER 39, The Cannery and Ghirardelli Square. Golden Gate
Park, Chinatown, North Beach, Union Square, AT&T Park,
the Embarcadero Center, and world-famous cable cars and
trolleys are just an example of what The City has to offer.
The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco’s signature landmark,
looms as the gateway to the City by the Bay.
San Francisco Bay is renown
for excellent conditions for both
boating and windsurfing.
Just outside of the immediate Bay Area, Yosemite is a favorite destination.

To the south of Stanford are Santa Clara and San Jose, the
anchors to the Silicon Valley. Computer firms and software
companies can be found throughout the region, which is
considered the leader among the world’s high technology
industry. Lest you think that the valley is all business, though,
spend a day at Paramount’s Great America, delve into the
wonders of technology at the Tech Museum of Innovation,
explore the Winchester Mystery House or check out the
vibrant downtown nightlife in San Jose.
One of the world’s great stretches of coastline is located
within a short drive from Stanford University. To the south
is the Monterey Peninsula, which includes the picturesque
coastal towns of Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. The
Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and 17-Mile Drive
along Pebble Beach are musts for visitors.
And if you bring your golf clubs, some of the most
famous golf courses in the world can be found on the
Monterey Peninsula, including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill
and Cypress Point. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which
features a historic wooden roller coaster and free concerts on
the beach during a Friday night summer series, is nearby.
Further north along the coast are quaint coastal towns
such as Half Moon Bay and Pacifica. Head through San
Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin
County, and you will find Tiburon, Larkspur and Sausalito.
You can also get there from San Francisco on a short ferryboat ride past Alcatraz Island.
Heading north and east of Marin County gets you into
the Napa Wine Country, home to dozens of well-known
vintners. Within a few hours drive from the Bay Area is Lake

Tahoe, home to some of the finest skiing in the country, and
the wonders of Yosemite National Park.
The Bay Area also features a total of six major professional
sports franchises (Baseball – Oakland A’s, San Francisco Giants;
Basketball – Golden State Warriors; Football – Oakland Raiders,
San Francisco 49ers; Hockey – San Jose Sharks).
Whether it’s a cosmopolitan atmosphere, the cultural
offerings of one of the great cities in the world, a visit to a
coastal location, a trip to the Wine Country, skiing at Lake
Tahoe, or just about anything your heart desires, the San
Francisco Bay Area remains one of the great destinations in
the world today.

ome of Champions.” Those are the bywords for the Stanford
University Athletic Department.
And for good reason. No athletic department in the country can
boast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplished since
the 1980’s. NCAA team champions. NCAA individual champions.
Olympic medalists. Stanford University athletes have been all over
the world capturing championships.
The statistics speak for themselves: Stanford University has won
77 NCAA team championships since 1980, the most in the nation;
Cardinal athletes have won 54 NCAA championships since 1990 –
again the most in the nation. Stanford has brought home 36 national
and 30 NCAA championship trophies since 1996-97. Stanford won
an unprecedented six NCAA team titles in 1996-97. In 1991-92,
Stanford athletes took home 29 individual NCAA titles – an NCAA
record. Cardinal athletes won 21 individual championships during
the 1992-93 season, the second most in history.
Even more impressive is Stanford’s string of 13 consecutive
Directors’ Cup titles (1995-2007). The award honors the nation’s top
overall athletic program and with 13 straight victories in the competition, it is no wonder Stanford is considered the dominant athletic
program in the country.
Stanford captured its 13th straight Directors’ Cup in 2006-07.
The Cardinal won a total of three national team crowns (two
NCAA) in women’s cross country, men’s golf and synchronized
swimming (U.S. Collegiate). Stanford had a total of 19 teams finish
in the Top 10 nationally with men’s swimming and diving (2nd),
women’s volleyball (2nd), women’s water polo (2nd), men’s rowing
(2nd-T), men’s gymnastics (3rd), women’s sailing (3rd), women’s
tennis (3rd-T), men’s cross country (4th), men’s indoor track and
field (4th), women’s swimming and diving (4th), women’s golf
(5th), women’s gymnastics (5th), women’s lightweight rowing
(5th), women’s indoor track and field (6th), co-ed fencing (9th),
women’s soccer (9th-T), women’s rowing (10th), men’s outdoor
track and field (10th-T), women’s outdoor track and field (10th-T)
joining the national champions in the Top 10. The Cardinal also
picked up eight individual national titles (three NCAA) and nine
team conference championships.
Stanford has now won at least one NCAA team championship for
31 consecutive seasons. Cardinal teams have also won four or more
NCAA team titles in a single year nine times, an NCAA best.
All totaled, Stanford has won 107 collegiate team national titles
(94 NCAA championships) and 402 NCAA individual titles. Cardinal
women have won an NCAA-best 36 team championships while
men’s squads have captured 58 NCAA team titles, third-best in the
nation. Overall, Stanford’s 94 NCAA team championships rank second in the country.
Since 1996-97, Stanford has claimed 36 national team championships and 31 NCAA team titles – the best in the country.

Stanford Athletics
The best athletic year in school history arguably came in 1996-97
when Cardinal teams set an NCAA record by winning six NCAA
team championships in a single academic year: men’s and women’s
cross country; men’s and women’s tennis; and men’s and women’s
volleyball. Nine other teams finished in the Top Four nationally,
including second place finishes in men’s swimming and diving,
synchronized swimming, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s
water polo. Stanford also posted third place finishes in baseball,
fencing and women’s basketball, as well as fourth place showings in
women’s golf and women’s water polo. In addition, the Stanford coed sailing team added an ICYRA national championship.
The 1996-97 school year also saw the Cardinal football team
advance to the Sun Bowl, the women’s basketball club return to the
Final Four, the baseball squad qualify for the College World Series
and the men’s basketball team advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the
NCAA Tournament for the first time since it won the 1942 NCAA
title.
Not only has the Cardinal won an NCAA record six NCAA team
championships in a single season (1996-97), but it has also won
five NCAA titles in a single year on three occasions: 1991-92, ’94-95
and ’97-98. Cardinal teams have captured four championships in a
single academic year on in five other instances: 1985-86, ’86-87, ’9293, ’93-94 and 2001-02.
The 2007 Pac-10 champion Stanford women’s basketball squad has been a
consistent top finisher in the Pac-10 and is one of the top teams in the nation.
Stanford has won a combined total of 201 conference and
regional titles since 1991, again the best in the country. Cardinal
teams picked up a record 18 combined conference and regional
championships in 1998-99 – by far the best performance of any
school in the nation.
Another memorable moment came in 1999-2000 when the
Cardinal football, men’s basketball and baseball teams won at least
a share of their respective Pac-10 titles for the first time in school
history.
Stanford has simply dominated in several sports. The Cardinal
men’s tennis team has won 17 NCAA titles, while the women’s
squad has hauled in 16 national crowns. Other programs to have
brought in at least five national championships include men’s water
polo (11), women’s swimming and diving (9), men’s swimming and
diving (8), men’s golf (8), women’s volleyball (6) and synchronized
swimming (5).
Stanford has also enjoyed unequaled success in Olympic competition and was represented by 43 affiliates at the most recent
Olympic Games that took place in 2004 in Athens, Greece. The
Cardinal totaled 17 medals (three gold, seven silver, seven bronze).
At the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, Stanford was
represented by a total of 34 athletes and coaches. The Cardinal contingent won 10 medals – four gold, three silver and three bronze.

At the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Stanford placed 49 coaches and
athletes on Olympic teams, including three head United States
Olympic coaches (Tara VanDerveer, women’s basketball; Skip
Kenney, men’s swimming; Richard Quick, women’s swimming).
Stanford athletes accounted for 18 medals – 16 gold, one silver and
one bronze – in Atlanta.
At the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Cardinal athletes earned 19
medals – 10 gold, four silver and five bronze. Thirty-eight Stanfordaffiliated athletes and coaches participated in Barcelona while 41
members of the Cardinal family took part in the 1988 Olympic
Games in Seoul, Korea.
Olympic gold medalists are numerous on The Farm. Former
Cardinal standout Bob Mathias won back-to-back Olympic decathlon gold medals in 1948 and ’52, while swimmers Janet Evans, Misty
Hyman, Tara Kirk, Pablo Morales, Summer Sanders and Jenny
Thompson have become household names in the swimming world.
Morales, who helped Stanford win three straight NCAA team
championships (1985-87), won three medals at the 1984 Games in
Los Angeles (one gold, two silver) and two more gold medals at the
1992 Games in Barcelona. Evans won three golds in the 1988 Games
in Seoul, and one gold and one silver in Barcelona, while Sanders
won four medals in Barcelona (two gold, one silver, one bronze).
Thompson is the most decorated athlete in Olympic history with
12 medals (eight gold, three silver, one bronze). Hyman added her
name to the list of Stanford swimming greats by winning the 2000
Olympic gold medal in the 200 meter butterfly to pull off one of the
biggest upsets of the Sydney Olympiad.
A short list of great student-athletes in the history of Stanford
Athletics is tough to compile, but a few of the great names in the
amazing history of Stanford Athletics include Jack McDowell
and Mike Mussina (baseball); Hank Luisetti, Brevin Knight and
Mark Madsen (men’s basketball); Jennifer Azzi and Kate Starbird
(women’s basketball); Debi Thomas (figure skating); John Elway,
Ernie Nevers, Jim Plunkett and Troy Walters (football); Tom Watson
and Tiger Woods (golf); Julie Foudy (women’s soccer); Eric Heiden

Bryan (men’s tennis); Kristin Klein, Ogonna Nnamani, Kim Oden,
Logan Tom and Kerri Walsh (women’s volleyball); and Kristin Folkl
(women’s basketball/volleyball), just to name a few.
It’s no wonder Stanford University is often referred to as the
“NCAA’s Champion of Champions.”

Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame
Legacy of Success
Baseball (33)
2006 Hall of Fame inductee Mike Dotterer (left) remains the only athlete
to letter all four years in two sports at Stanford. Brian Holloway was an
All-Pac-10 offensive tackle who played eight seasons in the NFL.
T
he Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame was the brainchild of the late
Walt Gamage, a longtime sports editor of the Palo Alto Times.
Gamage, who had previously worked on a number of neighborhood newspapers in the Chicago area, moved to Palo Alto in 1944
and quickly became interested in Stanford sports. In early 1954,
Gamage set out to organize the Hall of Fame. The first class of
inductees, including 34 of the greatest names in Stanford sports history, was announced in a full-page spread in the Palo Alto Times on
December 21, 1954.
A more complete history and additional information about the
Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame can be obtained at the Sydney and
Theodore Rosenberg Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame Room, which is
located on the first floor of the Arrillaga Family Sports Center at 641
East Campus Drive between Maples Pavilion and the Taube Family
Tennis Stadium.

Stanford Stadium
Stanford Stadium
Home of Stanford Football
W
hen Stanford took the field against Navy on September 16,
2006, an amazing feat had been accomplished that had begun
in earnest less than 10 months earlier, immediately after Stanford and
Notre Dame played the final game at the old Stanford Stadium on
November 26, 2005. Just minutes after the conclusion of that contest, construction crews started work on the beautiful new Stanford
Stadium that exists today.
The new Stanford Stadium has already taken its place as one of the
most beautiful and fan-friendly football facilities in the country. The
venue has a cozy seating capacity 50,000; a considerable difference
from the 85,000 seats that existed in what was previously the largest privately owned college football facility in the United States. The
smaller capacity allows Stanford Stadium to be more intimate and
fan-friendly while creating an electrifying game experience with fans
right on top of the action. Removal of the track and fencing around
the playing field provides improved sightlines and brings spectators
70-100 feet closer to the field than they were in the old venue.
Some of the other improved amenities in the new Stanford
Stadium include more comfortable seating with increased leg room
(benches converted to armchair seats on sidelines; seatbacks in end
zones), improved guest access with three new tunnels (seven total)
and better circulation via expanded lower bowl concourse and
new upper bowl concourse areas, new and an increased number of
restrooms with universal restroom speakers, upgraded concessions
with closed circuit televisions at all concession stands, an improved
distribution of a new sound system, a new video board at the South
End Scoreboard, a Skybox that features a new and expanded press
box as well as seven luxury suites and a 200-seat Director’s Level, and
improved ADA accessibility and increased seating for disabled.
The stadium’s natural turf field, named the Louis W. Foster
Family Field, is considered to be one of the finest playing surfaces
in the country. The playing surface is TIF-2 Hybrid Bermuda grass
developed as a sports turf and cultivated at sod farms specifically for
Stanford Stadium. The engineered drainage layer is comprised of a
sand matrix combined with perforated collection pipes that rapidly
remove surface water and facilitate on-going field use even in the
rainiest conditions.
The plan to update a facility originally built in 1921 with a goal
to make it a more intimate sporting venue with modern amenities
was approved by the university’s Board of Trustees in June of 2005.
The $100 million project was funded by the Department of Athletics,
Physical Education and Recreation (DAPER) Investment Fund, as
well as from alumni and friends of Stanford University. As a result, the
construction was completed without incurring any long-term debt.
196
Stanford Stadium’s long and storied history also makes it one of
the most prestigious stadiums in the country. Some of the historical
events hosted by Stanford Stadium have included Herbert Hoover’s
presidential acceptance speech in 1928, the U.S. Olympic Track and
Field Trials in 1960, the USA-USSR Track Meet in 1962, Olympic
soccer matches in 1984, Super Bowl XIX in 1985, men’s World Cup
soccer in 1994 and women’s World Cup soccer in 1999.
Stanford Stadium made history when Super Bowl XIX was played
at the venue on January 20, 1985, to become the first college stadium
to host a Super Bowl. A crowd of 84,059 watched Bill Walsh and his
San Francisco 49ers dominate the Miami Dolphins in a 38-16 victory.
MVP Joe Montana completed 24-of-35 passes for 331 yards and three
TDs in leading his team to its second Super Bowl win in four years.
Other highlights in the venue have included nine Olympic soccer
matches, including six preliminary matches, two quarterfinal matches
and one semifinal match in 1984 when a combined total of 465,000
fans jammed Stanford Stadium to witness the world’s best soccer
players.
The eyes of the world were again focused on Stanford Stadium
in late June and early July of 1994 as the largest sporting event in the
world came to The Farm with the arrival of men’s World Cup soccer
in the United States for the first time ever. Almost 500,000 fans and
a worldwide television audience witnessed six matches at Stanford
Stadium – four first round matches, one second round match and
one quarterfinal match.
In 1999, Stanford Stadium hosted a soccer doubleheader on July
4 that included a women’s World Cup semifinal match between the
United States and Brazil. The game was followed by a Major League
Soccer matchup between the San Jose Clash and D.C. United.
One memorable non-athletic event that was held in the facility was
the delivery of 31st President Herbert Hoover’s acceptance speech on
August 12, 1928. Hoover was the manager of Stanford’s first football
team.
Initially sparked by a feud with the University of California to see
which school could complete a new football facility sooner, the construction of the original Stanford Stadium was accomplished in just
over four months. The original design, undertaken by engineering
professors Charles Wing, Charles Marz and William Durand, called
for a 66-row, U-shaped structure. Seating capacity in the original
stadium was 60,000, second only to the Yale Bowl at the time. The
cost of construction, estimated at $200,000, was underwritten by
alumni subscriptions and the gate receipts from the 1921 Big Game
against California. Alumni subscriptions of $100 carried with them
the privilege of buying choice seats, at discount, to all intercollegiate

events for the next 15 years. Later, this right was extended to a lifetime
guarantee. Over $100,000 was raised in this fashion.
The first game held in the new stadium, appropriately enough,
pitted Stanford against the University of California on November 19,
1921. Although the Golden Bears, who later went on to win the Rose
Bowl that year, spoiled Stanford’s home opener by registering a 42-7
win, Stanford did manage to score the first touchdown in history on
the newly christened field.
Continually undergoing renovation, the Stadium eventually grew
to a capacity of 85,500. In 1925, an additional 10,200 seats were
added to the facility, partially closing the horseshoe-shaped structure.
An unintentional by-product of this operation was the creation of
Sunken Diamond, the Stanford baseball stadium, formed by the
removal of dirt needed to fill the Stadium’s new embankment. In
1927, 14 additional rows of seats were added, bringing the number of
rows to 80 before the new stadium was completed in 2006.
Additional renovations were undertaken in 1960 (the
incorporation of a press box), 1973 (tunnel entrances on the west
side), and 1978 (installation of a Tartan Track and the north and
south scoreboards). On January 20, 1985, Super Bowl XIX brought
with it further renovation of the press box as well as construction of
brand new locker room facilities, officials’ dressing rooms, a ticket
complex and additional restrooms.
World Cup Soccer in 1994 provided Stanford Stadium with more
renovations, including expanding the lower level of the G.A. “Dick”
Richards Press Box, installing aluminum bench seating throughout
the stadium and reducing the crown on the playing field.
In addition to the Super Bowl and Olympic soccer, Stanford
Stadium has served as the site of numerous other events – athletic
and non-athletic alike. The stadium once hosted the East-West Shrine
College All-Star Football Game, played in January of each year. It has
also been the site of a host of national and international track and field
competitions, including the United States Olympic Trials in 1960. In
1962, a two-day meet between teams from the United States and the
Soviet Union drew more than 150,000 spectators to Stanford Stadium.
The largest crowd ever to witness an event at Stanford was the
audience at the 1935 Big Game. The attendance that day was an
over-capacity 94,000, all of whom witnessed Stanford’s 13-0 win over
California. The Indians (later to become the Cardinal) went on to
capture the 1935 Rose Bowl by defeating SMU.

ince Stanford University began playing football in 1891, Cardinal
football players have had the opportunity to experience the best
in intercollegiate football while at the same time earning one of the
most prestigious undergraduate degrees in the world.
Eighteen Stanford football players have been selected in the first
round of the NFL Draft. Pro football greats Jim Plunkett, John
Elway, James Lofton, John Brodie and Frankie Albert are just a few
of Stanford’s first round selections.
Bob Mathias, whom many consider to be the greatest athlete of
all time, became a U.S. Congressman from California following his
playing days at Stanford. Mathias won the 1948 and ’52 Olympic
gold medals in the decathlon. He played football at Stanford in 1951
and ’52, and was a four-year member of the track and field team.
He is the first and only person to win an Olympic gold medal and
play in a Rose Bowl in the same year. Bill McColl, considered one of
the greatest college players of his era, went on to play for eight seasons with the Chicago Bears. While playing professionally, McColl
received his M.D. from the University of Chicago.
Some recent Stanford graduates who have continued their success on the playing field to great success off the field include Cory
Booker ’90, the recently elected mayor of Newark, New Jersey.
Booker, a Rhodes Scholar recipient, defeated a 16-year incumbent in
the 2006 mayoral election.
Stanford football players have gone on to impressive careers in
the legal profession. Two-time letterwinner James Ukropina, First
Team All American Chris Burford, and three-year letterwinners Bob
Moore, Rodney Gilmore and John Finley are just some examples.
Ukropina, who was a Stanford letterwinner in 1957 and ’58, went
on to a distinguished career as an attorney. He is a former member
of the Board of Trustees at Stanford University.
Burford, a First Team All-American receiver in 1959 and a
member of the College Football Hall of Fame, went on to play eight
seasons in professional football with the Kansas City Chiefs. Burford
earned his Law degree while playing professional football.
Moore, who was a three-year starter and a standout on the 1971
Rose Bowl team, played eight seasons in the NFL, and also served
as Vice President of the NFL Players Association. Gilmore, along
with practicing law in the San Francisco Bay Area, is also a television commentator for ESPN. He served as the Chair of the Stanford
Athletic Board from 1997-98.
If you visit the NFL Headquarters in New York you are likely to
see some familiar names and faces. Former Stanford All-American
Gene Washington, who played 11 seasons in the NFL, is currently
the Director of Football Operations for the National Football
League. Three-year letterwinner Ray Anderson is currently the
Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Anderson received
his Bachelors degree in Political Science from Stanford in 1976 and
a law degree from Harvard. Anderson, who was recently ranked on
Sports Illustrated’s list of the “Most Influential Minorities in Sports”,
was a successful sports agent for nearly two decades before being
named Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer
of the Atlanta Falcons in 2002. Vaughn Bryant, a four-year starter
for the Cardinal from 1990 to 1993, is currently a Manager of Player
Development for Career Transition for the NFL. After a two-year
NFL career, Bryant received a Masters degree from Northwestern
Gene Washington (left) and Dennis Moore played in
the NFL, with Moore serving as vice president of the
Players Association and Washington moving into the

University. Prior to joining the league office, he served as an academic advisor in the Stanford athletic department.
Stanford football players have made their mark in the business
world as well. Phil Satre, a three-year letterwinner from 1969-71 and a
member of Stanford’s back-to-back Rose Bowl championship teams,
is a retired Chairman of the Board and former CEO of Harrah’s
Entertainment, Inc.. Bill Kellar, a four-time letterwinner (1974-77), is
currently the Director of Football Sports Marketing at Nike.
Hillary Shockley, a three-year letterwinner and member of
Stanford’s back-to-back Rose Bowl teams in 1970 and ’71, is currently the President of his own company, A/R Capital. Randy
Vataha, a First Team All-Pac-10 pick in 1970, helped lead Stanford
to a conference title and Rose Bowl victory before playing seven
seasons in the NFL.
Blaine Nye was a First Team All-Pac-8 selection in 1965 before
going on to play nine seasons in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys,
including three Super Bowl games. Nye received his MBA from
Stanford in 1974 and earned his Ph.D. in Financial Economics from
Stanford following his playing days. He is currently President of the
Stanford Consulting Group.
Chuck Evans, a four-year letterwinner from 1976-79, played on
two winning bowl game teams during his career. He is currently a
Senior Vice President for RBC Dain Rauscher. Former players who
currently attend Stanford Business School include Louis Hobson
’02, Jim Johnson ’02 and Mike Silva ’06. DeRonnie Pitts ’00, Charlie
Dean ’00, and John Hebert ’95 are recent GSB grads.
Stanford football players have touched the academic field as well.
Ken Shropshire is presently a Professor and Chairman of the Legal
Studies and Business Ethics department at the Wharton School of
Business, while Jerry Waldvogel is a professor of Biology at Clemson
and Dale Rubin is a founding Professor of the Appalachian (Va.)
School of Law, to name a few.
The Stanford football program is also well represented in the
medical profession. Joe St. Geme, a 1980 Stanford graduate with a
degree in Biology, is currently the Chairman of Pediatrics at the Duke
University School of Medicine. Ron Inge, a four-year letterwinner,
received a degree from Stanford in Human Biology in 1977 and is
currently the Chief Dental Officer at Aetna Dental. Milt McColl, who
played eight seasons in the NFL and was a four-year letterwinner at

Stanford football players have not limited their
success to the gridiron, with NCAA and Olympic
champions rounding out an impressive list of
multi-sport athletes.
S
Wopamo Osaisai is the school’s
record holder in the 100 meter dash.
tanford University has a long and storied tradition of twosport athletes. Throughout the years, several Cardinal football players have not only participated in another sport, but have
earned All-American honors, won NCAA championships and
set school and national records.
From the early days of the great Ernie Nevers, who played
baseball at Stanford and went on to play professionally with
the St. Louis Browns, to future NFL Hall of Famer John Elway,
who played in the New York Yankees’ organization one summer,
Stanford football players have been given the opportunity to
shine in other sports. Some other great Stanford football players
who starred in another sport include Bob Mathias, a two-time
Olympic Decathlon Gold Medalist; Mark Marquess, Stanford’s
head baseball coach since 1977; Darrin Nelson, the Cardinal’s
all-time leading rusher and a standout in track & field; James
Lofton, NCAA champion in the long jump; John Lynch, who
was drafted as a pitcher by the Florida Marlins; and Chad
Hutchinson, a starting quarterback in the NFL and a former
Major League Baseball pitcher.
Stanford has four current two-sport student-athletes on its
2007 football roster in Toby Gerhart (baseball, football), Mark
Mueller (football, track & field), Wopamo Osaisai (football,
track & field) and Richard Sherman (football, track & field).
NFL Hall of Fame receiver James
Lofton was the 1978 NCAA long
jump champion for the Stanford
track and field team.
All-time rushing leader Darrin
Nelson is still among Stanford’s
list of fastest sprinters.
John Elway was drafted by the

ntering the 2007-08 season, the Pacific-10 Conference continues to
uphold its tradition as the “Conference of Champions.”® Pac-10 members have claimed an incredible 146 NCAA team titles over the past 17 seasons, for an average of more than eight championships per academic year.
Even more impressive is the breadth of the Pac-10’s success, as those
144 team titles have come in 24 different men’s and women’s sports. The
Pac-10 has led the nation in NCAA Championships 41 of the last 47
years and finished second five times.
Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievement, the
Pac-10 has captured 359 NCAA titles (254 men’s, 105 women’s), far outdistancing the runner-up Big Ten Conference’s 212 titles.
The Conference’s reputation is further proven in the annual United
States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award
that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country.
STANFORD continued its remarkable run in the 2006-07 season, winning its 13th consecutive Directors’ Cup. In the 2006-07 competition,
seven of the Top 30 Division I programs were Pac-10 members: No.
1 STANFORD, No. 2 UCLA, No. 5 CALIFORNIA, No. 6 USC, No. 17
ARIZONA STATE, No. 27 ARIZONA and No. 28 WASHINGTON. The
Pac-10 landed four programs in the Top 10, two more than the secondplace ACC (2), Big Ten (2) and SEC (2).
The Pac-10 captured eight NCAA titles in 2006-07 to lead the nation.
It should be noted that the Pac-10 total does not include CALIFORNIA’s
national championship in men’s rugby or WASHINGTON’s national championship in men’s crew, as they are not counted as NCAA titles. The Pac-10
led the nation with the most NCAA titles in women’s sports with five.
NCAA team champions from the Pac-10 in 2006-07 came from
ARIZONA (softball), ARIZONA STATE (women’s indoor track & field
and women’s outdoor track & field), CALIFORNIA (men’s water polo),
OREGON STATE (baseball), STANFORD (women’s cross country and
men’s golf) and UCLA (women’s water polo). The Pac-10 also had runners-up in seven NCAA Championship events: men’s soccer (UCLA),
women’s volleyball (STANFORD), men’s water polo (USC), women’s water
polo (STANFORD), men’s swimming (STANFORD), women’s swimming
(ARIZONA) and women’s tennis (UCLA). Overall, the Conference had 32
teams finish in the top four at NCAA Championship events.
Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the
Conference in 2006-07. Of the 22 sports sponsored by the Pac-10, 19
witnessed at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 62 of a possible 90 teams into the postseason
(68.1 percent), while the women sent 74 of a possible 100 teams (74.0
percent).
The Pac-10 experienced continued success in football as the league
sent six teams to bowl games. USC and CALIFORNIA were named coPac-10 Champions with identical 7-2 league records. The Trojans capped
their season with a 32-18 win over Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Overall,
the Pac-10 went 3-3 in postseason bowl games with ARIZONA STATE,
CALIFORNIA, OREGON, OREGON STATE and UCLA also earning
bowl appearances. USC, CALIFORNIA and OREGON STATE found
themselves ranked in the Top-25 in the nation at the conclusion of the
season, finishing fourth, 14th and 21st respectively (Associated Press).
The Pac-10 was the premier basketball conference this season, as it
sent six teams to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. UCLA
advanced to the Final Four, falling just short to Florida in the semifinals. The Bruins captured the Pac-10 regular season championship,
while OREGON earned the Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament crown.
On the women’s side, four teams competed in the NCAA Tournament.
ARIZONA STATE reached the Elite Eight for the first time in school history, while STANFORD claimed the 2006-07 regular season title and the
State Farm Pac-10 Tournament Trophy.
The Conference continued its dominance in softball as all eight teams
earned trips to NCAA regional play, the most out of any conference in
the nation. ARIZONA claimed its eighth national title, and second in as
many years, in a three-game championship series against Tennessee. It
marked the 19th national championship by a Pac-10 team since 1982.
With a 15-5-1 Conference record, ARIZONA picked up the 2007 Pac10 crown, while earning the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division
I Softball Championship. OREGON STATE claimed the 2007 NCAA
Division I Baseball Championship, becoming the first team in a decade
to repeat as College World Series champion. The Beavers won all five of
their CWS games, including a sweep of North Carolina in the best-ofthree finals, and trailed for only one of 45 innings they played in Omaha.
The Conference also swept NCAA men’s and women’s water polo
honors. CALIFORNIA captured the men’s title, while UCLA garnered
the women’s hardware, claiming the school’s 100th NCAA team championship and becoming the first athletics program in the nation to reach
the century mark. The ARIZONA STATE women claimed both indoor
and outdoor track & field NCAA titles. The feat marked just the 13th
time in NCAA women’s history that a team has won both the indoor and
outdoor team titles in the same year. STANFORD picked up two national
championships, securing the men’s golf title, as well as the women’s cross
country crown, its second in as many years.
On the men’s side, Pac-10 members have won 254 NCAA team
championships, far ahead of the 195 claimed by the runner-up Big Ten.
Men’s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-10
– 15 basketball titles by five schools (more than any other conference),
49 tennis titles, 45 outdoor track and field crowns, and 26 baseball titles.
Pac-10 members have won 25 of the last 38 NCAA titles in volleyball, 33
of the last 48 in water polo, and 20 total swimming and diving national
championships.
Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number
of NCAA men’s individual champions as well, claiming 1,140 NCAA
individual crowns.
On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA
began conducting women’s championships 26 years ago, Pac-10 members have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 18
occasions. Overall, the Pac-10 has captured 105 NCAA women’s crowns,
easily outdistancing the SEC, which is second with 70. Pac-10 members
have dominated a number of sports, winning 19 softball titles, 17 tennis
crowns, 11 of the last 17 volleyball titles, 11 of the last 18 trophies in golf
and eight in swimming and diving.
Pac-10 women athletes shine nationally on an individual basis as well,
having captured an unmatched 484 NCAA individual titles, an average of
more than 18 champions per season.
The roots of the Pacific-10 Conference date back over 90 years
to December 2, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was
founded at a meeting at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. Original
membership consisted of four schools – the University of California at
Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and
Oregon State College (now Oregon State University). All still are charter
members of the Conference.
Pacific Coast Conference play began in 1916. One year later,
Washington State College (now Washington State University), was
accepted into the Conference, and Stanford University joined in 1918.
In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the
University of Southern California and the University of Idaho. Montana
joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA.
The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10 Team league until
1950, with the exception of 1943-45, when World War II curtailed intercollegiate athletic competition to a minimum. In 1950, Montana resigned
from the Conference and joined the Mountain States Conference. The
PCC continued as a nine-team Conference through 1958.
In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and a new Conference was formed
- the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Original AAWU membership consisted of California, Stanford, Southern California, UCLA,
and Washington. Washington State became a member in 1962, while
Oregon and Oregon State joined in 1964. In 1968, the name Pacific-8
Conference was adopted.
Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona and Arizona
State University were admitted and the Pacific-10 Conference became a
reality. In 1986-87, the league took on a new look, expanding to include
10 women’s sports.
Currently, the Pac-10 sponsors 11 men’s sports and 11 women’s
sports. Additionally, the Conference is a member of the Mountain Pacific
Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men’s sports and two other
women’s sports.
Edwin N. Atherton was named the Conference’s first Commissioner
in 1940. He has been succeeded by Victor O. Schmidt (1944), Thomas
J. Hamilton (1959), Wiles Hallock (1971), and current Commissioner
Thomas C. Hansen in 1983.
The Pacific-10 Conference offices are located 25 miles east of San
Francisco in Walnut Creek, Calif.

Bowl Championship Series
When not having a conference champion participating in the BCS National Championship Game, the BCS
will have the following conference champions serve as host teams: Rose Bowl – Big Ten and Pac-10; FedEx
Orange Bowl – ACC; Allstate Sugar Bowl – SEC; Tostitos Fiesta Bowl – Big 12.
Pac-10 Bowl Arrangements
Following is a summary of the Pac-10 bowl arrangements for the 2007-08 season:
The Pacific-10 Conference has agreements with six bowl partners. The lineup is led by
the Rose Bowl, which is the destination for the Pac-10 champion, unless said champion is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final Bowl Championship Series rankings. If that
were the case, the Pac-10 champion would play in the BCS National Championship
Game, which this year will be played in New Orleans following the Allstate Sugar
Bowl. Regardless of the disposition of the Pac-10 champion, a second Pac-10 team
may be selected for an at-large berth in the Bowl Championship Series in any given
year and other Pac-10 bowl partner arrangements provide for that occurrence.
In addition to the Rose Bowl, Pac-10 bowl partners include the Pacific Life Holiday
Bowl, Brut Sun Bowl, Emerald Bowl, Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl and Bell
Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Pac-10 bowl assignments are determined by the final
Conference standings. If there is a tie for the Pac-10 championship, the head-to-head
winner among the tied teams shall be awarded the Conference’s top bowl position. In
the event of a tie for any position in the standings other than the championship, the
effected bowl may choose its participant from among the tied teams.

Mascot & Nickname
Prior to 1972, Stanford’s teams were known as the Indians, as seen on All-American baseball player Mark
Marquess’ uniform.
Mascot and Nickname
T

The Stanford Tree
he unique origins of Stanford’s mascot and nickname have
a history that dates back to the University’s founding in
1885. While Cardinal has always been one of the school’s official
colors, the nickname has gone through a series of changes,
student votes, controversy and confusion.
Since 1981, Stanford has been known as the Cardinal.
Stanford was known as the “Indians” from 1930-72. As for the
mascot, Stanford does not officially have one. The “Tree,” which
is a member of the Stanford Band, has been mistaken as the
school’s mascot, but it is not.
Below is a brief history of the nickname, the mascot and the
school colors:
There was a move to reinstate the Indian as the school mascot
in 1975. The debate was put to vote along with new suggestions:
Robber Barons, Sequoias, Trees, Cardinals, Railroaders, Spikes,
and Huns. None of the suggestions were accepted.
In 1978, another group comprised of 225 varsity athletes from
18 teams, started a petition for the mascot to be the griffin – a
mythological animal with the body and hind legs of a lion and
the head and wings of an eagle. The University moved two griffin statues from the Children’s Hospital to a grassy area between
Encina Gym and Angell Field. The campaign for the Griffins
failed.
From 1972 until November 17, 1981, Stanford’s official nickname was Cardinals, in reference to one of the school colors, not
the bird.
Nine years after the Indian was dropped, Stanford had still
not decided on a new mascot. President Donald Kennedy
declared in 1981 that all Stanford athletic teams will be represented and symbolized exclusively by the color cardinal.
“While various other mascots have been suggested and then
allowed to wither, the color has continued to serve us well, as
it has for 90 years. It is a rich and vivid metaphor for the very
pulse of life.”
The Nickname
The official Stanford Athletics
logo features a block “S” as
shown above.
The official Stanford Seal features
El Palo Alto (the tree) and a
German phrase which translates
to “the winds of freedom blow”.
The “Stanford Tree” is a member
of the Leland Stanford Junior
University Marching Band and is
not an official school mascot.

The nickname for Stanford is the Cardinal – in reference
to one of the school colors (and is therefore in the singular).
Stanford’s history with its nickname began on March 19, 1891,
when Stanford beat Cal in the first Big Game. While Stanford
did not have an official nickname, the day after the Big Game
local newspapers picked up the “cardinal” theme and used it in
the headlines.
Stanford did not have an “official” nickname until Indians was
adopted in 1930. For years prior, the Indian had been part of the
Stanford athletic tradition. Perhaps it grew out of the fact that
Cal’s symbol was the Bear, or it may have come from the large
Indian population of the area, or from Indian paraphernalia in
abundance in the late 1800’s. Whatever the origin, it was accepted
by sportswriters and gradually gained wide recognition.
Stanford officially adopted the Indian nickname on Nov. 25,
1930, after a unanimous vote by the Executive Committee for
the Associated Students. The Indian had long been considered
the symbol of Stanford before the official vote, although its origins are only speculation.
The resolution that was passed read: “Whereas the Indian
has long been unofficially recognized as the symbol of Stanford
and its spirit, and whereas there has never been any official
designation of a Stanford symbol, be it hereby resolved that
the Executive Committee adopt the Indian as the symbol of
Stanford.”
The Indian symbol was eventually dropped in 1972 following meetings between Stanford native American students and
President Richard Lyman. The 55 students, supported by the
other 358 American Indians enrolled in California colleges, felt
the mascot was an insult to their culture and heritage. As a result
of these talks and the ensuing publicity, the Stanford Student
Senate voted 18-4 to drop the Indian symbol, and Lyman agreed.
The first student referendum on the issue was held in May,
1972, and it resulted in a vote of 1,755 for and 1,298 against
restoring the Indian. The second vote, on Dec. 3-4, 1975, was
885 for and 1,915 against.
The Mascot
There is no official mascot at Stanford University. The “Tree,”
which is a member of the Stanford Band, is representative of
El Palo Alto, the Redwood tree which is the logo of the city of
Palo Alto. Since Stanford University and Palo Alto are almost
inextricably intertwined in interests and location, it is a natural
outgrowth of this relationship. The tree still exists and stands by
the railroad bridge beside San Francisquito Creek – it is the site
where early explorers first camped when settling the area.
The Color
When Stanford first accepted students in 1891, the student
body actually voted for gold as the school’s official color,
but another student assembly chose Cardinal as the school
color. A few days after the vote, local sportswriters picked up
the “Cardinal” theme after Stanford defeated Cal in the first
Big Game (March 19, 1891). The headlines read, “Cardinal
Triumphs O’er Blue and Gold.”
Cardinal remained the school color until the 1940’s, when
rules committees and conferences started regulating jersey colors for home and visiting football teams. Stanford’s Board of
Athletic Control adopted white as the second color.
Today, Stanford’s official school colors are Cardinal and White.

admired athletic administrators in the nation
during his nearly 15 years at the helm of the
University of Iowa’s athletic program, was named the
Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics at Stanford
University on April 25, 2006. He took over the reigns
of the Cardinal athletic department on July 10, 2006.
Bowlsby gained a national reputation for his skill and integrity in running one of
the country’s most ambitious and successful Division I-A athletics programs. When
Stanford went in search of a replacement for Ted Leland, Bowlsby’s name immediately
went to the top of the list.
“Bob Bowlsby represents the best professional and personal values when it comes
to student-athletes,” said Stanford University Provost John Etchemendy, chair of the
search committee. “He understands that the success of an athletics program is not simply measured in wins and losses, but in the academic achievements and character of
the young women and men who work so hard on the field and in the classroom.”
As Stanford’s sixth athletic director, Bowlsby succeeds Ted Leland (1991-2005),
Andy Geiger (1979-90), Joe Ruetz (1972-78), Chuck Taylor (1963-71) and Al Masters
(1925-63). Bowlsby directs a department that
includes 35 intercollegiate varsity teams – 15
men’s, 19 women’s and one coed – plus the
physical education department, intramurals,
club sports, open recreation and the Stanford
Golf Course. The department has an annual
budget of approximately $75 million and a staff
of over 225.
In its first year with Bowlsby at the helm,
Stanford captured the Directors’ Cup, emblematic of the top overall athletic program in the
country, for the 13th consecutive year, won
three national championships and had 15 teams
finish in the Top 10 nationally. Bowlsby also
spearheaded the opening of the New Stanford
Stadium.
Throughout his career, Bowlsby (born
Bob Bowlsby was named as Stanford’s
January 10, 1952) has emerged as a national leader sixth Athletic Director on April 25, 2006.
in intercollegiate and amateur athletics. He was

Olympic Committee Board of Directors.
He has previously served as President of the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Directors’
Association (2002-03), Chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee
for two years (2003-05) and a committee member for five years, Chair of the Big Ten
Administrator’s Council (2002-04) and Chair of the NCAA Management Council.
Bowlsby was appointed by President George Bush as a member of the Commission
on Opportunities in Athletics in 2002-03. The committee was led by U.S. Secretary of
Education Rod Paige.
Bowlsby was elected chair of the NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee and
represented the NCAA as one of two voting members on the United States Olympic
Committee Board of Directors. He served as a member of the NCAA/U.S. Olympic
Committee Task Force chaired by Cedric Dempsey and George Steinbrenner.

Committee to Review Amateurism Issues and the Special Committee to Review
Financial Conditions in Athletics.
Bowlsby has also served as an Executive Committee member with both the National
Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the Division I-A Athletic Directors
Association and served as President of the I-A organization for two years.
The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named
Bowlsby in 2001-02 as Central Region Athletic Director of the Year and Sports Business
Journal selected him from the four regional award winners as the National Athletics
Director of the Year. The award highlights the efforts of the athletic directors for their
commitment and positive contributions to campuses and their surrounding communities.
As the chief administrator for Iowa’s athletic department from 1991-2006, Bowlsby
earned a reputation as one of the most admired, energetic and ambitious athletic
administrators in the nation. Bowlsby guided and supervised the merger of the
Hawkeye’s women’s and men’s athletics departments while enabling Iowa to maintain
its standing as one of the most visible and successful Division I athletic programs.
Under his leadership, Iowa enjoyed unprecedented success and growth in the area
of fund raising and facilities. Bowlsby and the UI Development staff put in place $25
million in endowments to help support Hawkeye student-athlete scholarship aid. In
addition, he managed the planning and construction of $120 million in facility projects on campus, including an $87 million renovation to Kinnick Stadium.
A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Bowlsby became Iowa’s 10th Athletic Director in June,
1991, after serving in the same role at the University of Northern Iowa since 1984.
Bowlsby earned his Bachelors degree from Moorhead State University (Minnesota)
in 1975 and his Masters degree from the University of Iowa in 1978. He and his wife,
Candice, have four children: Lisa, Matt, Rachel and Kyle.
