How Stanford Spawned Silicon Valley:
An Historical Perspective

Henry Lowood
introduced by Ed Feigenbaum

Is Stanford the engine that keeps Silicon Valley running?
If so, in what sense did its spirit of innovation,
management styles, and entrepreneurial spirit
all have roots on campus?
A close look at the history of this relationship can tell us more
about what Stanford has meant for Silicon Valley
and what the Valley has meant for Stanford.
