Stanford Memorial Auditorium: Difference between revisions

Memorial Auditorium, as the largest indoor performance space at Stanford, is the site of performances, major speeches, academic conferences and student activities. Hot Chips, a symposium on hardware chips sponsored by [[IEEE]], is held each summer in MemAud. In terms of student activities, much of New Student Orientation takes place inside the auditorium; Flicks, the Stanford movie service, screens movies in MemAud once every week; and Gaieties, a major part of the [[Big Game (American football)|Big Game]] activities, takes place there in the days before the actual game. Major speaker events are commonly held in MemAud because of its size, such as [[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s "The Other America" speech on April 14, 1967,<ref>{{cite web
