Excerpt from Graduate Study 1915-1916
The seat of the University, except for the advanced and clinical work in Medicine, is at Stanford University, in the Santa Clara Valley, thirty miles southeast of San Francisco, on the Coast Division of the Southern Pacific Railway. The grounds of the University consist of over seven thousand acres, partly level and partly rising into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Range. The Bay of San Francisco lies about three miles east of the University grounds. Across the bay the Monte Diablo Range rises to a height of over four thousand feet, the Lick Observatory crowning Mt. Hamilton, the highest of the range. The Santa Clara Valley is one of the most attractive portions of the State in fertility, in natural beauty, and in the excellence of its climate. In winter the mercury rarely falls below 30 degrees, with an average midday temperature of about 55 degrees. In summer the midday temperature ranges between 60 degrees and 80 degrees, with occasional higher and lower numbers, the average being about 70 degrees; the nights are cool, the usual range being from 50 degrees to 58 degrees. The rainfall, normally about eighteen inches, is chiefly confined to the months from December to April, inclusive.
