Stanford Needs Pirates Again
A recent Stanford Review meeting highlighted the university's defining tension, with one attendee stating,
“Stanford shouldn’t be the Navy; it should be the Pirates.”
This phrase symbolizes the struggle between order and openness, with the Navy representing procedure and safety, and the Pirates embodying disruption and courage.
The Pirates have faced a significant setback with the loss of their home, the lake, which has led to a decline in piracy, exacerbated by the Covid pandemic.
The Navy's increasing dominance has resulted in the loss of independence for the Band, the closure of Greek life and theme houses, and the erosion of the last remaining havens of piracy that alumni fondly remember.
Author's summary: Stanford's spirit is fading.
- The Navy represents order and safety
- The Pirates represent openness and disruption
- The loss of the lake has led to a decline in piracy
- The Covid pandemic has further exacerbated this decline
