While the future president failed Stanford’s entrance examination, the professor who administered the test admired his “remarkable keenness” and admitted him conditionally. In 1891, Hoover enrolled in the new West Coast university founded by industrialist Leland Stanford. Hoover was a member of Stanford University’s inaugural class. When Hoover was 11, he was put on a westbound Union Pacific train to live with Hulda’s brother John Minthorn in Newburg, Oregon. The three children were separated to live with Hulda’s various relatives. A little more than three years later, Hoover’s mother, Hulda, died from pneumonia and typhoid fever, which left young “Bertie” and his older brother and younger sister parentless. When Hoover was 6 years old, his father died of a heart attack while suffering a bout of pneumonia. The future president did not cross east of the Mississippi River until he was 22 years old. Herbert Clark Hoover was born on August 10, 1874, in a two-room, whitewashed cottage built by his father in West Branch, Iowa, a small prairie town of just 265 people. Hoover was the first president born west of the Mississippi River.
