  二、耶鲁大学历史

  Yale has grown and evolved for 300-plus years, passing many milestones and forging traditions along the way.

  The university traces its roots to the 1640s when colonial clergymen led an effort to establish a local college to preserve the tradition of European liberal education in the New World. In 1701 the charter was granted for a school “wherein Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences (and) through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church and Civil State.”

  The school officially became Yale College in 1718, when it was renamed in honor of Welsh merchant Elihu Yale, who had donated the proceeds from the sale of nine bales of goods together with 417 books and a portrait of King George I.

  耶鲁大学迄今已有300多年历史,在这期间,耶鲁大学得到了成长、进化,走过了许多里程碑,在沿途打造了自己的传统。

  耶鲁大学的历史可追溯到17世纪40年代。那时,殖民地的神职人员努力在当地建立学校,以便在新大陆将欧洲的文科教育传统保存下来。1701年,学校得到了特许,“青年人在这里可以接受文科和理科教育。在万能的上帝的祝福下,可以在教会和公民社会担任职务。”

  这个学院在1718年正式成为耶鲁学院。其名称来源伊利胡·耶鲁,是对伊利胡·耶鲁的几年。伊利胡·耶鲁为学院捐赠了9捆总价值562英镑12先令的货物、417本书以及英王乔治一世的肖像。

  1701: Yale is founded in nearby Saybrook, CT as the Collegiate School to educate students for “Publick employment both in Church and Civil State.” In the over 300 years since its founding, Yale has worked to educate those who would become leaders and contributors to every sector of society.

  1716: The Collegiate School trustees vote to move to more hospitable New Haven, fulfilling the dream of one of New Haven’s founders, the Reverend John Davenport, to establish a college there.

  1718: The Collegiate School is renamed Yale College in recognition of Elihu Yale’s donation of books and goods.

  1732: The Reverend George Berkeley establishes the Berkeley Scholarships for graduate study, the first such scholarships in America. Today, Yale College admits all students without regard to their family’s financial circumstances.

  1750: Construction is started on Connecticut Hall, now the oldest building in New Haven and a National Historic Landmark. In 1906 a major renovation restored the original gambrel roof.

  1757: The first church within a college in America is founded at Yale. During Yale’s first two centuries, Yale graduates influenced the spread of Christianity by serving as missionaries throughout the world.

  1767: Construction is completed on the Pierpont House, the oldest surviving house in New Haven. It was used as the Office of Undergraduate Admissions before becoming the Visitor Center in 1995. A thorough restoration was completed in 2002.

  1779: British troops invade New Haven, but the student militia rallies to help defend the city. Edmund Fanning, secretary to the British general and Yale graduate (B.A. 1757), persuades the British to leave New Haven without burning the city.

  1792: John Trumbull, artist and one-time aide-de-camp to General Washington, develops the Brick Row campus plan, in collaboration with James Hillhouse (B.A. 1773), making Yale the first planned college campus in America. Their plan was well received in New Haven, America’s first planned city.

  1802: Considered the father of modern scientific education in America, Benjamin Silliman, Sr. (B.A. 1796, faculty 1799–1853), teaches the first modern science course (chemistry) in the United States.

  1701:耶鲁在赛布鲁克附近以大学学院形式成立,初衷是将学生培养成为适合在教会和公民社会任职的人才。自成立以来,300多年过去了,耶鲁一直致力于将学生培养成领袖和可以为社会各部门做出贡献的人才。

  1716:大学学院受托人投票同意将学院搬到更加适合的纽黑文市,实现了纽黑文缔造者之一兼教士的达文波特的梦想。他的梦想即是在纽黑文建立一所大学。

  1718:为感谢伊利胡·耶鲁对耶鲁的捐赠(书籍和货物),大学学院重命名为耶鲁学院。

  1832:教士乔治·柏克莱为研究生设立了柏克莱奖学金,这也是美国的第一个奖学金。今天,耶鲁学院不基于家庭经济条件,平等录取所有学生。

  1750:康州会堂动工。如今该会堂是纽黑文最古老的建筑,也是美国的一处国家历史名胜。1906年该会堂经过翻修,以复原原初的斜折线屋顶。

  1757:美国第一座学院内教堂在耶鲁成立。在前两个世纪里,耶鲁大学毕业生在世界各地做传教士,扩大了基督教的影响。

  1767: Pierpont House建成。Pierpont House如今成了纽黑文现存最古老的建筑。在1995年成为游客中心以前,这里一直作为耶鲁的本科招生办公室。2002年Pierpont House经历了彻底翻修。

  1779:英国军队入侵纽黑文,学生民兵联合抵抗,保卫纽黑文。时任英国将军兼为耶鲁毕业生的埃德蒙-范宁说服英国军队离开纽黑文,使纽黑文免于被焚毁。

  1792:艺术家兼华盛顿将军副官的约翰·特朗布尔在与詹姆斯希尔豪斯(1773届文学学士)的合作下发展了砖块校园计划,使得耶鲁成了美国的第一个规划大学校园。他们的计划在纽黑文受到热烈欢迎,后者也是美国的第一座规划城市。

  1802:美国现代科学教育之父本杰明·西利曼(1799届文学士, 1799–1853在耶鲁供职)上了美国第一堂现代科学课程(化学)。

  三、耶鲁大学教研情况

  Undergraduate Study

  At Yale, we view college as a time for students to explore, exercise curiosity, and discover new interests and abilities.

  We provide students with an immersive, collaborative, and inspiring environment where they can develop a broadly informed, highly disciplined intellect that will help them be successful in whatever work they finally choose.

  Our students graduate with the values and knowledge they need to pursue meaningful work, find passion in life-long learning, and lead successful and purposeful lives.

  Yale College

  All undergraduates attend Yale College, an intimate learning environment offering instruction in the liberal arts and sciences.

  Undergraduate Research

  With access to Yale’s extensive collections and resources, our undergraduates have discovered new species, patented products, and co-authored original research.

  International Experiences

  There are a variety of global learning opportunities available, from studying abroad to international internships to directed research.

  Special Programs

  Writing and science programs, directed studies, seminars, and more … students can choose from a number of special academic offerings during their time at Yale.

  1.本科学习

  在本科阶段,我们让学生探索,运用他们的好奇心,让他们发现新的兴趣和能力。

  我们为学生提供专注的、合作式的和激发灵感的环境。在这样的环境里,他们可以培养起广泛、专业、高度学科化的智力能力。无论他们将来最终选择在哪里工作,这样的能力都可以帮助他们获得成功。

  我们的学生在毕业的时候可以具备相关价值和知识,从事有意义的工作,找到终身学习的热情,过上成功而目标明确的生活。

  2.耶鲁学院

  所有本科生都在耶鲁学院就读,这里亲密的学习环境提供文科和理科教育。

  3.本科研究

  我们的本科生可以使用耶鲁大学提供的广泛的收藏和资源。在这样的条件下,他们发现了新物种,有了专利产品,从事着合著的原创性研究。

  4.国际经历

  这里有各种全球学习机会提供给学生,包括海外学习、国际实习和定向研究。

  5.特殊项目

  写作项目、科学项目、定向研究和研讨会,等等。学生在耶鲁大学学习期间有许多学术项目可以选。

  Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

  Each year, the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences welcomes approximately 500 of the world’s most promising scholars to its doctoral programs (2015 Matriculation Ceremony for New Graduate Students(link is external)). These sought-after students choose Yale for the opportunity to study with the Graduate School’s outstanding faculty, and to take advantage of the University’s wide array of academic resources and services.

  They also come for the unsurpassed support Yale provides to its Ph.D. students, which allows them to focus on their scholarship, successfully complete their education, and find rewarding careers.

  This support starts with outstanding financial aid. Each doctoral student receives an annual stipend ranging from $29,950 to $34,450 to meet living expenses. Not only is this figure highly competitive with our peers, but the considerably lower cost of living in New Haven makes the Yale stipend even more favorable. Tuition ($39,800 for 2016-17) is covered by a tuition fellowship from the graduate school, research grants or national and international fellowships; no Ph.D. student pays tuition.

  The Graduate School also pays for comprehensive health care for all students and their families. We know of no other peer school that does this. If the student has a spouse, but no dependent children, Yale pays half the cost of the spouse’s health insurance. For families with children, the Graduate School covers the entire cost of the premiums. A parental support and relief policy provides students with an additional full semester of stipend and healthcare support at the birth or adoption of children.

  Over six years, the total cost of support equals nearly $375,000 for a single Ph.D. student. For a student with a family, the support totals more than $445,000. In humanities and social science programs, most of the funding is from the Graduate School. In the natural sciences, funding is from the Graduate School, external fellowships and faculty research grants.

  In the 2015-16 academic year, the total spending for graduate students on these benefits totaled $164 million.

  文理研究生院

  每年,文理研究生院招收大约五百名世界最有前景的学生,让他们来攻读学院的博士课程。这些广受欢迎的学生之所以选择耶鲁大学,是因为在这里他们有机会同学院杰出的教员共事,可以利用耶鲁提供的众多学术资源和服务。

  他们来文理研究生院,还因为耶鲁为其博士生提供的极为卓越的支持,可以让他们专注于学术,成功完成学业,找到薪酬丰厚的工作。

  这样的支持始于丰厚的经济援助。每位博士生都会获得29,950 美元到34,450美元不等的年度津贴,以满足生活开销需求。这样的津贴数额在同行竞争中非常有优势,不仅如此,纽黑文十分低廉的生活成本也使得耶鲁的津贴更加讨人喜欢。学费(2016-17学年为39800美元)由研究生院的学费奖学金、科研补助金或国内和国际奖学金来支持:没有哪位博士生需要支付学费。

  除此以外,文理研究生院还为所有学生和他们的家庭支付全面保健护理费用。这在同行中是找不到例子的。如果你有配偶,还没有孩子,耶鲁大学会为你的配偶支付一半的健康保险费。对于有多个孩子的学生家庭,文理研究生院为他们支付所有的保险费用。

  父母一方的支持和宽松的政策可以在孩子出生或领养孩子的时候为学生提供额外的整个学期津贴和保健护理支持。

  在过去六年里,文理研究生院为单身博士生提供的学费支持总额合约37万5千美元,为带一个家人的学生提供了超过44万5千美元。人文和社会科学课程的大部分资金来源于。自然科学课程资金来源于学院、外部奖学金和学院科研补助金。

  在2015-2016学年度,文理研究生院花在研究生福利上的资金总共为1.64亿美元。
