White Memorial Fountain, Campus fountain at Stanford University, United States
The White Memorial Fountain features 65 water jets arranged in a circular pattern that create intersecting streams reaching toward the center point.
Stanford University installed this fountain in 1964 as a memorial commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond B. White to honor their sons William and John.
During the annual Big Game festivities against Berkeley, students gather at the fountain for a tradition involving a ceremonial red water display.
The fountain operates daily on the Stanford campus, providing a central meeting point between the main quad and the engineering buildings.
Artist Aristides Demetrios returned to Stanford in 2011 to supervise the restoration of his original fountain design, ensuring its structural integrity.
