    　二、哥倫比亞大學的歷史
    　　Columbia University was founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of King George II of England. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States.
    　　Controversy preceded the founding of the College, with various groups competing to determine its location and religious affiliation. Advocates of New York City met with success on the first point, while the Anglicans prevailed on the latter. However, all constituencies agreed to commit themselves to principles of religious liberty in establishing the policies of the College.
    　　In July 1754, Samuel Johnson held the first classes in a new schoolhouse adjoining Trinity Church, located on what is now lower Broadway in Manhattan. There were eight students in the class. At King's College, the future leaders of colonial society could receive an education designed to "enlarge the Mind, improve the Understanding, polish the whole Man, and qualify them to support the brightest Characters in all the elevated stations in life." One early manifestation of the institution's lofty goals was the establishment in 1767 of the first American medical school to grant the M.D. degree.
    　　The American Revolution brought the growth of the college to a halt, forcing a suspension of instruction in 1776 that lasted for eight years. However, the institution continued to exert a significant influence on American life through the people associated with it. Among the earliest students and trustees of King's College were John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States; Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury; Gouverneur Morris, the author of the final draft of the U.S. Constitution; and Robert R. Livingston, a member of the five-man committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence.
    　　哥倫比亞大學最初為國王學院，由英王喬治二世特許，成立于1754年。國王學院是紐約州創(chuàng)辦時間最早的高等教育機構，也是美國第五古老的高等教育機構。
    　　國王學院在創(chuàng)立之前爭議就已存在，各個團體競相決定其選址和宗教歸屬。在爭議開始的時候，占上風的是紐約市派，往后圣公會信徒的觀點占了主導。盡管如此，所有的擁護者都同意在指定學院政策的過程中堅持宗教自由的原則。
    　　1754年，塞繆爾·約翰遜在三一教堂附件的新校舍開了第一堂課，新校舍的地點即在今天的曼哈頓百老匯。第一堂課都八名學生。在國王學院，殖民社會的未來領袖可以接受這樣的教育，即“擴展眼界、增進理解、修煉完人，使之有資格自持生命中所有高雅身份的最顯眼的品質。”國王學院的崇高目標最初的顯現是在1767年。1767年，國王學院成立了美國第一所醫(yī)學院，授予醫(yī)學博士學位。
    　　美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭讓國王學院的成長陷于停滯，導致學院在1776年停課，長達八年之久。不過，在這期間，國王學院繼續(xù)通過學院相關人士對美國生活施加重要的影響。在國王學院最早的學生和受托人中，有約翰·杰伊：美國第一任首席法官;亞歷山大·漢密爾頓：第一任財政部長;古弗尼爾·莫里斯：美國憲法終稿作者;和羅伯特-R-來溫斯頓：《獨立宣言》五人組委員會成員。
    　　The college reopened in 1784 with a new name—Columbia—that embodied the patriotic fervor that had inspired the nation's quest for independence. The revitalized institution was recognizable as the descendant of its colonial ancestor, thanks to its inclination toward Anglicanism and the needs of an urban population, but there were important differences: Columbia College reflected the legacy of the Revolution in the greater economic, denominational, and geographic diversity of its new students and leaders. Cloistered campus life gave way to the more common phenomenon of day students who lived at home or lodged in the city.
    　　In 1857, the College moved from Park Place, near the present site of city hall, to Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, where it remained for the next forty years. During the last half of the nineteenth century, Columbia rapidly assumed the shape of a modern university. The Columbia School of Law was founded in 1858. The country's first mining school, a precursor of today's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, was established in 1864 and awarded the first Columbia Ph.D. in 1875.
    　　When Seth Low became Columbia's president in 1890, he vigorously promoted the university ideal for the College, placing the fragmented federation of autonomous and competing schools under a central administration that stressed cooperation and shared resources. Barnard College for women had become affiliated with Columbia in 1889; the medical school came under the aegis of the University in 1891, followed by Teachers College in 1893. The development of graduate faculties in political science, philosophy, and pure science established Columbia as one of the nation's earliest centers for graduate education. In 1896, the trustees officially authorized the use of yet another new name, Columbia University, and today the institution is officially known as Columbia University in the City of New York.
    　　國王學院在1784年重新開放，并且有了新的名字——哥倫比亞學院。這個名字體現了當時激勵美國人尋求獨立的愛國狂熱。這個煥發(fā)生機的學院由于其圣公會傾向和城市人口需求，被認可為殖民祖先的繼承者。不過也存在重要的差別：哥倫比亞學院反映的是革命的遺產，這體現在其新生和領導在經濟、宗派和地理等方面的多元性中。與世隔絕般的校園生活逐漸為更加常見的走讀現象代替。走讀生們住在自己家里，或寄居在城里。
    　　1857年，哥倫比亞學院從公園廣場(臨近現在的市政廳)遷到了麥迪遜大道四十九號街，在這里待了四十年。19世紀下半葉，哥倫比亞學院很快有了現代大學的雛形。哥倫比亞法學院于1858年成立。美國第一所礦物學校，也是今天的 Fu Foundation 工程與應用科學學院的前身，則成立于1864年，并于1875年頒發(fā)了第一個哥倫比亞博士學位。
    　　瑟斯·勞1890年成為哥倫比亞學院校長，大力推進了學院的大學理念。他將各個分散的存在競爭的自治學校統(tǒng)一到中央管理，強化了合作和資源共享。在這樣的管理下，巴納德女子學院于1889年歸屬于哥倫比亞學院，醫(yī)學院1891年得到了哥倫比亞學院庇護，隨后歸屬則是1893年的教育學院。研究生院在政治學、哲學、純粹科學領域的發(fā)展使哥倫比亞學院成為了美國創(chuàng)辦最早的研究生教育中心之一。1896年，董事會正式批準使用另外一個新的名字，即今天的哥倫比亞大學。

    　　It is our goal at the Libraries to provide excellent service to students and faculty that will advance their research, teaching, and learning and to support library users anytime and anywhere. The Libraries are moving in a number of exciting directions.
    　　哥倫比亞大學圖書館
    　　哥倫比亞大學圖書館是北美最頂尖的五個學術研究型圖書館之一，館藏包括了超過1300萬冊書籍、16萬以上期刊和連續(xù)出版物，以及大量的電子資源、手稿、稀有書籍、微縮印刷品、地圖、圖標和視聽材料。哥倫比亞圖書館有400多名員工，每年吸引的游客超過470萬人。
    　　我們的圖書館提供聚集地，讓人們在這里可以從事學術研究、學習和使用信息技術、寫作、學習、利用這里豐富的紙質和電子資源。我們新設計的信息發(fā)掘系統(tǒng)CLIO提供一站式服務，綜合了先前許多分散的資源信息。我們的數字中心“數字研究和學術中心”和版權咨詢辦公室專注于學習和教學技術的目的性使用，專注于與研究生和學者合作，共享新知識，以及解決著作權法和大學工作之間的關系。
    　　圖書館的目標是為學生和教員提供優(yōu)質服務，幫助促進他們的研究、教學和學習，隨時隨地為圖書館用戶提供支持。圖書館正在朝諸多令人振奮的方向發(fā)展。
    　　THE COLUMBIA GLOBAL CENTER
    　　There are currently eight Columbia Global Centers operating in Amman, Beijing, Mumbai, Paris, Istanbul, Nairobi, Santiago and Rio de Janeiro. The centers encourage new relationships across schools, institutes, and academic departments at Columbia. Attuned to the priorities and unique circumstances of its host region, each center leverages the University’s diverse intellectual capacities from across the undergraduate, graduate and professional schools, and pursues a set of university-wide core activities that evolves over time based on the active engagement of faculty and students. The centers help increase international content in the classroom; supplement the curriculum with international study abroad, internship opportunities, and course offerings; provide resources needed to attract students from abroad; facilitate research opportunities for Columbia students and faculty on globally relevant, interdisciplinary topics; and provide a point of ongoing engagement for international alumni.
    　　Functioning as a network, the global centers encourage teaching and research that require working across disciplinary boundaries, having a presence in multiple regions, and engaging non-Columbia experts and scholars from those regions. Some of the centers’ programs and research initiatives are country-specific, some regional, and an increasing number are multi-regional, even global. The network is in its infancy, and each center has started by building strong links with universities and institutions in its respective region. The long-term ambition is that many programs will have a global reach and involve multiple centers in the network engaged in truly global conversations.
    　哥倫比亞全球中心
    　　目前，哥倫比亞大學在安曼、北京、孟買、巴黎、伊斯坦布爾、內羅畢、圣地亞哥和里約熱內盧均有全球中心。這些全球中心鼓勵在哥倫比亞大學各個學院。機構和學術部門之間建立新關系。為適應主辦區(qū)的優(yōu)先事項和獨特條件，每個中心都發(fā)揮光桿作用，承擔哥倫比亞大學本科、研究生和職業(yè)學院的多樣化知識能力，展開一些列大學范圍內核心活動。這些活動都是在教員和學生的積極參與下逐漸形成的。全球中心負責幫助豐富課堂的國際內容，以國際海外學習和實習機會豐富課程內容，提供有助于吸引海外學生的資源，為哥倫比亞學生和教員在全球相關跨學科課題上的研究提供便利，提供持續(xù)的國際校友參與。
    　　這些全球中心發(fā)揮著類似于網絡的作用，鼓勵跨學科、多區(qū)域教學和研究，并吸引這些區(qū)域的專家和學者。全球中心的的課程和研究舉措有些是針對國家的，有些是區(qū)域性的，更多的則是跨區(qū)域的，甚至是全球的。全球中心網絡還處于初步階段，每個中心先在各個的區(qū)域建立起與大學和機構的有力的聯系。全球中心的長久目標是讓多數課程覆蓋全球，參與到多個全球中心的真正的全球對話中。
    　　五、哥倫比亞大學著名校友
    　　Since 1901, when the awards were first given, 82 Columbians—including alumni, faculty, adjunct faculty, researchers and administrators—have won a Nobel Prize at some point in their careers. These distinguished scientists, statesmen and authors have won prizes in every field in which an award is given. The University's current faculty includes eight Nobel laureates.
    　　自從諾貝爾獎于1901年設立以來，哥倫比亞大學已有82人獲獎，包括校友、教員、客座講師、研究員和管理員。這些接觸的科學家、政治家和作家已經獲得了諾貝爾獎提供的各領域獎項。在哥倫比亞大學現在的教員中，有八人獲獎。
