Lonely Planet review for Hoover Tower
East of the Main Quad, the 285ft-high Hoover Tower offers superb views of the campus. The tower houses the university library, offices and part of the right-wing Hoover Institution on War, Revolution & Peace. At the entrance level there are exhibits on President Herbert Hoover, who was among the first class of students to attend Stanford in 1891. The ride to the top costs around US$2/US$1 per adult/child.
