History
- The Cambridge School of Art was founded in 1858 by William John Beamont, a Fellow of Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, and its inaugural address was delivered by John Ruskin, who is still sometimes incorrectly described as its founder.剑桥艺术学校于 1858 年由剑桥大学三一学院院士威廉·约翰·博蒙特创办,开学致辞由约翰·罗斯金发表,后者至今仍常被误称为创办人。
- Ruskin's teaching philosophy made drawing central to the curriculum, a bias towards art and design practice that survived into the modern university's provision.罗斯金的教学理念使素描成为课程核心,这种偏重艺术与设计实践的取向一直延续到今日的办学内容。
- The original premises stood near Sidney Sussex College before the school moved to its present location on East Road in Cambridge.该校最初校舍位于西德尼·苏塞克斯学院附近,其后迁至剑桥东路的现址。
- In the 1920s the governing body included two pioneers of Cambridge civic life, Clara Rackham and Lilian Mellish Clarke, after whom buildings on the East Road campus were later named.二十世纪二十年代,其管理机构中有两位剑桥市政生活的先驱克拉拉·拉克姆与莉莉安·梅利什·克拉克,东路校区后来有建筑以她们命名。
- In 1960 the institution became the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, known as CCAT, the name under which it expanded its technical teaching.1960 年该校改称剑桥郡艺术与技术学院,简称 CCAT,技术类教学即在此名下扩展。

- The word polytechnic was retained in the title because it signalled practical, workforce-oriented education, and in 2000 the only university in the country to keep the term considered dropping it before the governors decided otherwise.校名中保留「理工」一词,因其标示以实务与就业为导向的教育;2000 年该校作为全国唯一保留该词的大学曾考虑删去,最终经校董会决定予以保留。
