二、天普大學(xué)的歷史
Temple University's history begins in 1884, when a young working man asked Russell Conwell if he could tutor him at night. A well-known Philadelphia minister, Conwell quickly said yes. It wasn't long before he was teaching several dozen students—working people who could only attend class at night but had a strong desire to make something of themselves.
Conwell recruited volunteer faculty to participate in the burgeoning night school, and in 1888 he received a charter of incorporation for “The Temple College.” His founding vision for the school was to provide superior educational opportunities for academically talented and highly motivated students, regardless of their backgrounds or means.
The fledgling college continued to grow, adding programs and students throughout the following decades. Today, Temple's more than 35,000 students continue to follow the university's official motto—Perseverantia Vincit, or “Perseverance Conquers”—with their supreme dedication to excellence in academics, research, athletics, the arts and more.
天普大學(xué)的歷史從1884年開始。當(dāng)時，一名青年工人要求羅素·H·康威爾給他提供夜課輔導(dǎo)。羅素·H·康威爾是費(fèi)城的一位著名的牧師，很快就答應(yīng)了。不久，他的學(xué)生就有了好幾十人。他們都是工人，白天沒時間上課，但是都有強(qiáng)烈的學(xué)習(xí)愿望。
隨后，羅素·H·康威爾招來了志愿教師，一起為工人們上夜課。1888年，康威爾獲準(zhǔn)成立“天普學(xué)院”。當(dāng)時，他對學(xué)校的設(shè)想是為各種背景、各個階層的優(yōu)秀且自覺的學(xué)生提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的教育。
在往后的幾十年里，這個羽翼未豐的學(xué)院成長了起來，不僅增加課程，也增加了學(xué)生。今天，天普大學(xué)已有3萬5千名學(xué)生。他們繼續(xù)遵循“毅力戰(zhàn)勝一切”校訓(xùn)，孜孜于學(xué)業(yè)、科研、體育、藝術(shù)等領(lǐng)域的優(yōu)秀。
Russell H. Conwell
Temple's first president, Russell Conwell, was pastor of Grace Baptist Church and founder of Temple College. The temporary Board of Trustees elected him president of the faculty October 14, 1887, and he served until December 6, 1925, the date of his death.
Temple’s founding was principally the work of one man—not a captain of industry, but a captain of erudition, an educational entrepreneur—who sought to democratize, diversify and widen the reach of higher education.
Russell Herman Conwell’s life story and his aspirations for Temple University resonate with the personal life narratives of Temple University’s students, faculty, staff and alumni. He is connected to us all. Conwell played many roles—as an actor, showman, brilliant orator, journalist and editor, lawyer, minister, educator, real estate speculator, promoter, entrepreneur and founder of Temple University.
羅素·H·康威爾
羅素·H·康威爾是天普大學(xué)的第一任校長兼天普學(xué)院創(chuàng)始人，同時是基督教浸信會恩惠堂的一位牧師。1887年10月14日，羅素·H·康威爾被臨時理事委員會選為校長。他擔(dān)任校長直到1925年12月6日去世。
天普大學(xué)的成立主要?dú)w功于羅素·H·康威爾。羅素·H·康威爾不是工業(yè)巨頭，但是他知識淵博，在教育上勇于創(chuàng)新。他致力于讓高等教育變得更加民主，更加多元，更加普及。
羅素·H·康威爾的人生故事和他對天普大學(xué)的希望同學(xué)校的師生、員工和校友的個人故事息息相關(guān)。他同我們所有人息息相關(guān)。羅素·H·康威爾兼任多重角色，既是演員、演說家、記者、編輯、律師、牧師，又是教育家、房產(chǎn)投資者、發(fā)起人和企業(yè)家。當(dāng)然，也是天普大學(xué)的締造者。
