Biographical/Historical Sketch
Civil and mechanical engineering courses were among the first taught at Stanford
University, with courses in electrical and mining engineering added in 1893. In 1925, the
formerly independent engineering departments were organized into the School of Engineering
with Theodore Jesse Hoover as Dean. Hoover was succeeded in 1936 by Samuel B. Morris, former
director of the Pasadena municipal water system and a respected civil engineer. The School
experienced its greatest development during the deanship of Frederick E. Terman, 1945-1960,
formerly the executive head of the Electrical Engineering Department. Important connections
were made between the school and local industry, and the School began to draw significant
government contracts and grants to support graduate and faculty research. Although Terman
was appointed University Provost in 1955, he remained dean until Joseph M. Pettit, Professor
of Electrical Engineering, succeeded him. Pettit resigned in 1971 to become president of
Georgia Institute of Technology and was succeeded by William Kays, chairman of the
Mechanical Engineering department. The School now includes nine departments, with numerous
laboratories and research centers.
