Named after Stanford University of California, who took a lease of Cliveden for use as one of its overseas campuses in 1969 until 1983. There were usually eighty overseas students at Cliveden at any one time – staying with the wings and top floor of the mansion – visiting Stanford faculty members lived in style on the first floor of the main house. During this time, the Terrace Dining Room was used as the main library, the Boudoir was the Senior Common Room and the main hall was a common room for everyone. The French Dining Room was out of bounds, except when receptions were held for the local community.
During the 1970s about half of all the Stanford Undergraduates spent six months on one of the overseas campuses. Some two thousand Stanford students studied at Cliveden before the college moved to Oxford in 1983. Stanford’s English campus still flourishes in a row of high street houses leased from Magdalen College.
