Stanford baseball’s run to the College World Series came to an end on Saturday, as the Cardinal did not have enough to pull out another elimination-game victory in a 10-8 loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs advanced to the best-of-three World Series Final, where they will face either Fresno State or North Carolina.
The Cardinal never led [...]

OMAHA – Don’t count Stanford out just yet.
Behind a gutsy pitching performance and timely offensive explosions, Stanford pounded Miami (Fla.) 8-3 Wednesday, eliminating the Hurricanes and extending their season to another must-win elimination contest.
Freshman Danny Sandbrink allowed Miami’s powerful offense just two hits and one run in four innings, while the Cardinal offense took advantage [...]

Stanford came about as close as you possibly can to completing a late inning come-back but was eventually just short as No. 8 Georgia edged the Cardinal 4-3.
Trailing by that score in the top of the ninth inning and with runners standing on first and second, one out and fireballer Joshua Fields—Georgia’s star closer and [...]

Philanthropist Oprah Winfrey traded in a talk show audience of millions for a Commencement audience of 25,000 Sunday morning at Stanford Stadium.
Winfrey centered her speech around the theme of learning – learning from one’s gut, learning from life’s setbacks and learning the importance of giving back.
Though Winfrey is known for bestowing free cars on her [...]

Dear Stanford,
It has only been a year since I first set foot upon your attractive grounds, and yet I prepare to leave. I still remember that first day: Bright sunshine illuminated the sandstone and adobe buildings, warm air abetted my step, and the excitement of being a student at Stanford filled my heart. This daze [...]

I’m in the unusual situation of essentially getting two undergraduate careers–the result of the unusual process of having enrolled to get a master’s degree, electing a year later to pursue a Ph.D. and then deciding that maybe it wasn’t for me after all. (It’s never too late to change lanes.)
Nonetheless, I took full advantage of [...]

After four years as a Stanford English major, I have learned many things and have much wisdom to pass on. The profundity of my reflection could hardly be contained in the weak vessel of a retrospective op-ed. Given this, and the high premium we English majors place on specificity and economy, I devote this space [...]

There is so much I didn’t do.
I never lived on West Campus. While I often daydreamed of sailing a makeshift boat in Lake Lag during long, unproductive Sunday afternoons, I never even made it over to see the its glittering, transient waters. I’ve heard Lag Late Night is leaps and bounds better than Stern’s, but [...]

Thank you, graduates of Stanford University’s Class of 2033. I’m honored to be here. I know most of you were hoping to hear Chelsea Clinton, ‘01, but I understand as president of the United States, she’s pretty busy.
But I, too, once attended this fine institution. And I’d [...]

It’s the time of year for speeches. For proclamations, for pronouncements and, above all, for predictions.
Nothing causes outbursts of lyrical waxing quite like commencement. Everyone has something profound to say–usually on the subject of your sparkling future.
(As a brief aside, what precisely is supposed to be commencing at commencement? Your degree is ending, not beginning. [...]
