二、西北大學(xué)的歷史
On May 31, 1850, nine men gathered to begin planning a university that would serve the Northwest Territory.
Given that they had little money, no land and limited higher education experience, their vision was ambitious. But through a combination of creative financing, shrewd politicking, religious inspiration and an abundance of hard work, the founders of Northwestern University were able to make that dream a reality.
In 1853, the founders purchased a 379-acre tract of land on the shore of Lake Michigan 12 miles north of Chicago. They established a campus and developed the land near it, naming the surrounding town Evanston in honor of one of the University's founders, John Evans. After completing its first building in 1855, Northwestern began classes that fall with two faculty members and 10 students.
Twenty-one presidents have presided over Northwestern in the years since. The University has grown to include 12 schools and colleges, with additional campuses in Chicago and Doha, Qatar.
1850年5月31日,九個(gè)人聚集在一起,開始籌劃為美國(guó)西北地區(qū)建立一所大學(xué)。
這些人沒(méi)什么錢,沒(méi)有土地,高等教育經(jīng)驗(yàn)也十分有限,但是他們的理念是野心勃勃的。他們通過(guò)創(chuàng)造性金融、精明的政治活動(dòng)、宗教啟示和大量的辛勤勞動(dòng),最終創(chuàng)立了西北大學(xué),實(shí)現(xiàn)了夢(mèng)想。
1853年,創(chuàng)始者們?cè)谥ゼ痈缫酝?2英里出的密歇根湖畔購(gòu)買了379英畝土地。他們?cè)谀抢锝⒘诵@,開發(fā)了周邊土地,并以西北大學(xué)創(chuàng)始人之一約翰·埃文斯的名字命名了附近的一所縣城(即埃文斯頓)。1855年,西北大學(xué)的第一棟教學(xué)樓落成,隨后開了課。最初的時(shí)候只有兩名教員和十名學(xué)生。
從那以后,西北大學(xué)誕生了21任校長(zhǎng)。如今已成長(zhǎng)為12個(gè)學(xué)院,在芝加哥、卡塔爾多哈均有校區(qū)。
