Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition of the place name 'Stanford' and the generic noun 'university', so its meaning (the university located in Stanford) is directly derivable from the constituents. Proper-name + institution constructions are cross-linguistically common, making this immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Stanford University is named after Leland Stanford and his wife, who used their family land to start a school in memory of their young son. That's why the name 'Stanford' comes from the family, and today Stanford University is a well-known 'private university' for research and learning.
