  What Does the Board of Trustees Actually Do?
  Leslie Hume and Burt McMurtry

  The Board of Trustees of Stanford University is the supreme authority of the University. Among its duties, it appoints the President, has final approval of all faculty appointments, decides about new buildings and modifications to old and makes final decisions about the University investments. It consists of 30 extremely prominent people with Stanford connections. Yet its history and how it operates are largely unknown by the community it rules.

  This program will provide a rare opportunity to discover that history and how the Board operates through presentations and discussion by Leslie Hume, the present Chair of the Board and the first woman to head the Board since Mrs. Stanford as well as former chair Burt McMurtry. It promises to be a fascinating and highly informative meeting. The presentations will be followed by a reception in the Annenberg Patio.

  Arizona Garden: Lecture and Tour
  Julie Cain and Christy Smith
  5:00 - 6:30 p.m., Arizona Garden
  (near the Mausoleum between Palm Drive and Quarry Road north of Campus Drive)

  The Arizona Garden, also known as the Cactus Garden, was designed for Leland and Jane Stanford by Rudolph Ulrich, a noted 19th-century landscape gardener. It was created sometime between 1881 and 1883 in a formal Victorian style, as part of the elaborate landscaping of a new home planned by the Stanfords'. Today, the Arizona Garden and the surrounding Arboretum are the only surviving remnants of these ambitious landscaping plans.

  The Arizona Garden received a design award from the California Preservation Foundation in 2008. The award program “honors exceptional historic preservation projects for excellence in design, construction, planning and technology.”

  The Mayfield Brewing Company and the History of Palo Alto

  5:00 - 6:30 p.m., Oak West Lounge, Tresidder Union
  John P. Alderete, CBO of Mayfield Brewing Company, will talk about the history of the company and host a beer and ale tasting after the talk.

  Alsace native Michel Klineclaus founded the original Mayfield Brewing Company in 1868. The brewery’s first location was on the corner of College and Yale Streets in the College Terrace Neighborhood of the unincorporated community of Mayfield, now Palo Alto. The brewery was later moved to the corner of Lincoln and Second, which are the modern-day California and Birch Streets. In 1871, Christopher Ducker bought the brewery from Klineclaus and ran it for 35 years. In 1906, Ducker retired and sold the Mayfield Brewing Company to Ernest Klevesahl, who ran it with his son Carl until Prohibition forced the brewery’s closure in 1920. At its peak, the brewery produced 1000 barrels of beer a month and supplied a steam beer to the communities of Woodside, Portola, Redwood City, San Mateo and South San Francisco. Eighty-seven years after the original Mayfield Brewing Company closed its doors, it has emerged once again to serve Palo Alto and its surrounding communities.

  In winter quarter 1987, then President Donald Kennedy initiated a planning process with four Stanford faculty/staff members to try “to generate a picture of what the University would be like in the year 2010 if we did nothing to change its course; and then, having examined that picture, to decide upon a few especially promising points of current intervention that could improve it.” Eventually, his group put together a scenario called Stanford in 2010 and developed a list of priority items for the University to concentrate its efforts. At the annual meeting of the Stanford Historical Society, President Emeritus Kennedy and his associates will revisit Stanford in 2010 and share their thoughts on the future of the University.
