History of the University
Before the University of Bristol, there was University College, Bristol
University College, Bristol existed from 1876 to 1909 and was the precursor to the University of Bristol.
Its history can be traced back to the efforts of John Percival, headmaster of Clifton College, to press for the establishment of such an institution. In 1872, Percival wrote to the Oxford colleges observing that the provinces lacked a university culture. The following year he produced a pamphlet called 'The Connection of the Universities and the Great Towns', which was well received by Benjamin Jowett, Master of Balliol College, Oxford. Jowett was to become a significant figure, both philosophically and financially, in the establishment of University College, Bristol.
In June 1874, a meeting took place at Bristol's Victoria Rooms 'to promote a School of Science and Literature for the West of England'. Percival and Jowett spoke at the meeting, and won the support of Albert Fry and Lewis Fry, members of an influential and affluent local family.
University College, Bristol finally opened its doors at 9 am on Tuesday 10 October 1876 in rented premises at 32 Park Row. Initially there were two professors and five lecturers offering courses in 15 subjects. The College was open to men and women on the same basis (except in medicine). During the first session, 99 day students registered (30 men and 69 women) and 238 evening ones (143 men and 95 women).
Alfred Marshall, a groundbreaking economist, served as Principal of the College until 1881. He taught evening classes while his wife, Mary Paley, the first woman lecturer, taught during the day. Her fee was deducted from her husband's salary. The second Principal was William Ramsay, discoverer of the so-called noble gases. He left in 1887 (and received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1904), but remained influential in the College's efforts to become a university with its own Royal Charter. His successor was Conwy Lloyd Morgan, a geologist and zoologist who also became a pioneering experimental psychologist. He, too, was closely involved in the campaign for full university status, and would eventually become the University of Bristol's first Vice-Chancellor.
布里斯托大学的历史
在布里斯托大学之前已有布里斯托大学学院。布里斯托大学学院存在于1876年至1909年，是布里斯托大学的前身。
布里斯托大学学院的历史可追溯到约翰珀西瓦尔那里。约翰珀西瓦尔是克利弗顿学院的校长，他迫切要求建立一所大学学院。在1872年，珀西瓦尔致信牛津学院，认可当地缺少一种大学文化。次年，约翰珀西瓦尔写了“大学与大城市的联系”的小册子，受到了牛津贝利奥尔学院院长本杰明乔伊特的欢迎。后来，在布里斯托大学建立的过程中，乔伊特成了哲学和财务领域的重要人物。
1874年6月。一次会议在布里斯托大学的Victoria Rooms 召开，旨在“提升西英格兰科学与文学学院”。珀西瓦尔和乔伊特在会议上讲话，并赢得了当地名门富家子弟阿尔伯特弗赖伊和里维斯弗赖伊的支持。
大学学院最终于1876年10月10日星期二上午九点开放，租用场址，地点在公园路32号。起初，学院只有两位教授，五名讲师，只开设十五门课程。除了医学专业以外，学院对男生和女士同等开放。在第一个学期，注册白天课程的学生有99人(男生30人、女士69人)，注册晚间课程的有238人(男生143人、女生95人)。
著名经济学家阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔担任学院校长，到1881年。阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔教授晚间课程，他的妻子兼第一位女性讲师玛丽·佩利教授白天课程。玛丽·佩利的费用从她丈夫的工资里扣除。第二人校长是威廉·拉姆齐，惰性气体的发现者。威廉·拉姆齐于1887年离开学院，在1904年获得诺贝尔化学奖，但是他在学院成为具有自己皇家宪章的大学的努力中仍然有影响力。在威廉·拉姆齐之后，担任大学学院第三任校长的是地理学家兼动物学家的康维劳埃德·摩根(康维劳埃德·摩根同时成为了顶尖的心理学家)。和威廉·拉姆齐一样，康维劳埃德·摩根也密切参与到学院获得全面大学地位的努力中，并最终成了布里斯托大学的第一任校长。
For University College, Bristol, life was a financial struggle, although in 1890 it received a £2,000 boost from the local Technical Instruction Committee. There was more good news in 1893 when the Bristol Medical School, which had been created in 1833, was formally incorporated into the College. Further encouragement came in 1896, when Commissioners from the Treasury reported that 'there is evidently vigorous life in the place, and the work done is of the University type'. The foundation of the University College Colston Society in 1899 was another highly significant development, drawing a broad spectrum of influential figures into supporting the College.
The campaign for a Charter gained momentum in 1904 with the appointment of Morris Travers as Professor of Chemistry. Travers, who had been recommended for the job by former Principal, William Ramsay, was an energetic and decisive man who set about gaining financial and political support for Bristol's plans. He was backed by some powerful individuals, including Lewis Fry, Chairman of the College Council, R B (later Lord) Haldane and members of the Wills family.
By 1906, Lewis Fry felt ready to put the plan to promote a university for Bristol on a formal footing, and an executive committee was formed. However, problems continued - Travers left to direct a research institute in India that year, and it proved very difficult to lift the College's endowment above the total of £30,000 that had been donated by members of the Wills and Fry families.
Everything changed on 14 January 1908, when H O Wills promised to donate £100,000 - a massive sum - provided that a Charter was granted within two years. The Wills gift set off a chain reaction, and more money was raised within 24 hours than had been attracted during the previous three decades.
Now things really started to move. After years of discussion, it was agreed that the Merchant Venturers' College and elements of the University College - formerly rivals - would merge to form a new Faculty of Engineering. Furthermore, the City Council offered the proceeds of a penny rate (some £7,000 a year), subject to a Charter being obtained. Best of all, when a petition for a Charter was submitted to the Privy Council, it met with royal favour.
On 24 May 1909, 33 years after University College opened, the Charter, approved by King Edward VII, came into effect. It was a day of celebration across Bristol and the beginning of the story told in our University timeline.
对于布里斯托大学学院而言，虽然在1890年收到过来自当地技术指导委员会的2千英镑支援，但它在经济上始终是困难重重的。更多的好消息要等到1893年才来到。其时，建于1833年的布里斯托医学院正式并入大学学院。到1896年，进一步的鼓舞到来了。因为那一年，财务部专员报告说“当地有了明显的生命迹象，并且当地所做的工作是属于大学类型的。”于1899年成立的大学学院科尔斯顿协会是另一项重大发展，许多领域的重要人物因此被吸引，前来支持学院。
宪章运动在1904年获得了动力，当时，摩斯·特拉维斯被任命为化学教授。在此之前，特拉维斯曾受到了前任校长威廉·拉姆齐的推荐。而特拉维斯自己则一个充满活力、有决断力的人。是他让布里斯托大学的计划得到了财务和政治上的支持。摩斯·特拉维斯还有一些有权势的人物做后盾，包括学院委员会主席里维斯弗赖伊、后来成为伯爵的R B霍尔丹和威尔斯家族的成员。
到1906年，里维斯弗赖伊觉得是时候正式实施升级布里斯托大学学院为大学的计划了，这时，执行委员会也已成立。但是，问题又来了：那一年特拉维斯正好离开，去了印度，在那里指导某个研究所，而事实证明，很难在威尔斯家族和弗赖伊家族捐赠的3万英镑的基础上再筹集到捐赠。
1908年1月14日，一切都有了改变。其时，H O威尔斯答应捐赠10万英镑，只要学院能在两年内拿到宪章。威尔斯的捐赠引起了连锁反应：仅在24个小时内，筹集到的资金就超过了过去三十年里的资金。
现在，事情真的开始有了运转。在经过几年的商讨之后，人们达成协议，同意将“商人冒险者学院”( Merchant Venturers' College )同大学学院合并，形成新的工程学院。(在此之前，后者是前者的竞争对手。)不仅如此，市议会在学院获得宪章的基础上同一每年提供7千英镑。最好的还在这里：当宪章请求被递交个枢密院的时候，得到了皇家的支持。
在1909年5月24日，在大学学院开放33年之后，经过爱德华王七世的统一，宪章生效。在布里斯托大学的历史上，这是值得庆祝的一天，也是布里斯托大学大事年表的开始就讲述的故事。
