The computer science department. This is where I attend most of my classes.

Lined with palm trees and in front of a giant green oval, the main quad symbolizes Stanford like no other building in campus. Another attraction of the main quad is the Memorial Church, built in the memory of Leland Stanford, Jr. by his mother more than 100 years ago. The main quad, over the course of the past century, has withstood numerous earthquakes. The latest was the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. Though most of the building was not affected, some parts were rebuilt.

Viewed from the Hoover Tower - the quad courtyard and memorial church.

From the rear, the beautiful stained glass windows of the memorial church are visible.
