Something I heard on the radio

There was a student in Harvard Uni who died while he was still studying at Harvard. So the parents, in memory of their son, wanted to make a building for Harvard by the name of their lost son.

So they approached the head of the Uni & told about their intentions. The head of Harvard, seeing that the parents are not that wealthy turned them down, saying they have enough & more buildings at Harvard.

So the parents, made the building elsewhere & initiated a new university by their son's name.

The dead student's name was Stanford
