              　 　 斯 坦 福 大 学 http://www.stanford.edu  
              　 　 Old Union, Stanford, CA 94305-3005  
 
              　 　 本 文 提 要 ：  
 
              　 　 一 位 朋 友 对 我 说 ， 哈 佛 与 耶 鲁 大 学 这 些 代 
 表 著 美 国 传 统 的 
              人 文 精 神 的 学 府 ， 正 在 逐 渐 被 以 斯 坦 福 大 学 为 
 首 的 二 十 一 世 纪 
              的 科 技 精 神 所 代 替  
 
              　 　 美 国 加 利 福 尼 亚 州 有 个 评 判 当 地 四 所 大 学 
 的 说 法 ：  
 
              　 　 如 果 你 很 会 读 书 ， 家 庭 又 富 裕 ， 就 念 斯 坦 
 福 大 学 ；  
 
              　 　 如 果 你 很 会 读 书 ， 家 庭 不 富 裕 ， 就 念 柏 克 
 莱 大 学 ；  
 
              　 　 如 果 你 不 会 读 书 ， 家 庭 却 富 裕 ， 就 念 南 加 
 州 大 学 ；  
 
              　 　 如 果 你 又 不 会 读 书 ， 家 庭 也 不 富 裕 ， 就 念 
 加 州 州 立 大 学 吧 
              ！  
 
              　 　 此 说 当 然 只 是 俏 皮 话 ， 当 不 得 真 。 但 是 无 
 可 否 认 ， 「 家 境 
              好 ， 会 念 书 」 ， 是 斯 坦 福 大 学 的 学 生 在 加 州 一 
 般 人 心 目 中 的  
              u 注 册 商 标 」 。  
 
              「 不 一 样 的 校 园 」  
 
              　 　 六 十 年 代 ， 当 加 州 大 学 柏 克 莱 分 校 在 学 术 
 和 学 生 运 动 上 双 
              双 远 近 驰 名 之 际 ， 斯 坦 福 大 学 却 还 「 没 没 无 闻 
 」 。 但 今 天 ， 斯 
 
 
              　 　 在 别 人 把 它 跟 东 部 那 些 历 史 悠 久 的 长 春 藤 
 大 学 相 比 较 的 时 
              候 ， 斯 坦 福 大 学 相 当 坦 然 ， 一 点 没 有 自 卑 感 。 
 它 在 美 国 名 校 中 
              算 是 后 起 之 秀 ， 但 多 年 来 在 权 威 的 《 美 国 新 闻 
 与 世 界 报 道 》 最 
              佳 大 学 排 行 榜 上 一 直 蝉 联 第 四 、 五 名 。 它 的 录 
 取 率 为 百 分 之 二 
              十 左 右 ， 丝 毫 不 输 给 东 北 部 的 「 老 大 哥 」 们 。 
 而 一 九 八 八 年 ， 
              斯 坦 福 大 学 不 仅 理 、 工 、 商 、 教 育 学 院 均 排 名 
 第 一 ， 总 排 名 也 
              一 跃 而 居 榜 首 ， 把 哈 佛 也 挤 了 下 去 ， 一 时 震 动 
 美 国 。 另 一 项 最 
              近 官 方 统 计 表 明 ， 斯 坦 福 大 学 应 届 毕 业 生 的 年 
 平 均 收 入 高 居 全 
              美 大 学 之 冠 。  
 
              　 　 不 过 ， 被 问 起 来 的 时 候 ， 斯 坦 福 大 学 的 学 
 生 们 倒 也 并 不 自 
              认 为 比 东 部 那 些 大 学 好 ， 只 是 「 不 太 一 样 」 。 
  
 
              　 　 的 确 是 「 不 一 样 」 。 一 九 九 七 年 七 月 里 的 
 一 天 ， 当 我 好 奇 
              地 沐 浴 在 斯 坦 福 大 学 校 园 里 灿 烂 的 阳 光 下 ， 四 
 处 了 望 ， 见 所 有 
              的 楼 房 都 是 黄 砖 红 瓦 ， 四 平 八 稳 ， 一 律 是 十 七 
 世 纪 西 班 牙 的 传 
              道 堂 式 ─ ─ 没 有 哈 佛 、 耶 鲁 大 学 那 些 年 代 不 同 
 、 风 格 各 异 的 楼 
              房 ， 更 少 了 东 北 部 大 学 墙 壁 上 爬 满 的 长 春 藤 。 
 后 来 我 才 知 道 ， 
              设 计 斯 坦 福 校 园 的 ， 正 是 著 名 设 计 家 弗 莱 德 里 
 克 · 欧 姆 斯 泰 德 
              （ Frederick Olmsted ） ， 著 名 的 艾 姆 赫 斯 特 学 院 也 
 是 他 设 计 的 ， 而 
              他 最 为 人 称 道 的 传 世 之 作 ， 是 纽 约 曼 哈 顿 的 中 
 央 公 园 、 旧 金 山 
              的 金 门 公 园 。 他 的 特 色 是 自 然 森 林 式 设 计 ， 加 
 上 自 由 曲 线 的 道 
              路 。 可 是 斯 坦 福 却 没 有 这 样 的 特 色 ， 给 人 印 象 
 深 刻 的 却 是 毫 无 
              自 然 意 味 、 显 示 人 工 规 模 的 好 几 公 里 的 椰 子 树 
 大 道 。
