		Jane Stanford (August 25, 1828–February 28, 1905), was the wife of Leland Stanford and cofounded Stanford University with her husband.
		After Leland's death, Jane took control of the University, and it was at Jane Stanford's direction that Stanford University gained an early focus on the arts, and it was she who advocated the admission of women.
		Jane Stanford also figured prominently in the issue of academic freedom when she sought, and ultimately succeeded, in having Stanford University economist Edward A. Ross fired for making speeches favoring Democrat William Jennings Bryan and for his liberal economic teachings.
