<p>I think Stanford is a funny name, not that it sounds funny, but the fact that some self absorbed rich bastard named a college after himself... well, actually if you look at Stanford's history, the name actually came from the Last name of the billionaire's dead son.. which just happened to be the last name of the billionaire himself.. imagine that...</p>

<p>vanderbilt is the same way
at least rockefeller didnt have that kind of nerve and gave his school an appropriate title "The University of Chicago"</p>

15

<p>middlebury, princeton, and wooster</p>

<p>i love Stanford, but I gotta admit Princeton sounds better. Actually, I think "Princeton" is the best sounding college name, followed closely by Stanford, ofcourse.</p>

17

<p>Most schools are named after rich dead bastards, not just Stanford.</p>

<p>Hendrix College tee-hee-eee--I wonder if they play guitar there?</p>

Stanford
Harvard
