　　二、俄勒冈大学的历史

　　Back in 1859, Congress required Oregon’s founders to establish a public university. That university is us.

　　Oregon’s pioneers were more concerned with eking out a living than in the refinements of higher education. But in the early 1870s, Judge Joshua Walton convinced residents of Eugene City to become home to what would become the fledgling state’s flagship university.

　　Then, as now, our roots were in our community. Farmers sold produce and mules and held church socials to scrape together $27,500, enough to buy an 18-acre piece of ground that became our campus.

　　Construction on our first building began in 1873. Five faculty members taught the first group of students in 1876. Two years later, we produced our first graduating class: John C. Whiteaker, George S. Washburne, Robert S. Bean, Matthew S. Wallis, and Nellie A. Condon.

　　Since then we’ve awarded diplomas to tens of thousands of young men and women—geologists and writers, painters and chemists, innovators and rule-breakers, lawmakers and dancers, dreamers and doers.

　　We’ve produced eight governors, 18 Pulitzer Prizes, 20 Rhodes Scholars, 13 Olympic medalists, nine Academy Awards, nine Emmys, and a Heisman Trophy winner.

　　Today, more than 24,000 students, from all 50 states and more than 95 countries, study at Oregon.

　　1859前，美国国会要求在俄勒冈州成立一所公立大学，俄勒冈大学由此而来。

　　俄勒冈大学的先驱者们考虑更多的维持生存，而不是优化高等教育。但是到19世纪70年代，法官约书亚•沃尔顿将重点集中在了尤金市居民身上，认为俄勒冈州旗舰大学的希望在于人民。

　　和现在一样，那时学校的根基也在于社区。农民出售产品和骡，参加教堂集会，筹集了2万7千5百美元，为学校购买了18英亩土地。这片土地后来成为俄勒冈大学的校园。

　　第一栋教学楼于1873年开始动工。1876年，学校开课。有五位教师。两年后，俄勒冈大学培养出了第一批毕业生。其中有John C. Whiteaker, George S. Washburne, Robert S. Bean, Matthew S. Wallis 和Nellie A. Condon。

　　自那以后，学校为成千上万的青年学生授予了文凭，培养出了地理学家、作家、画家、化学家、革新者、标新立异者、立法者、舞蹈家、梦想家和实干家。

　　迄今为止，学校已有8位州长、18位诺贝尔奖得主、20位罗德学者、13位奥运奖牌得主、9位学术奖得主、9位艾美奖得主和一名海斯曼奖得主。

　　今天，俄勒冈大学有2万4千多名学生。他们来自美国五十个州和超过95个国家，在这里学习。
