History
- Western Reserve College was founded in 1826 at Hudson, Ohio, as the Western Reserve College and Preparatory School of the Connecticut Western Reserve, the first college in northern Ohio, popularly called the Yale of the West because its campus, entrance standards and nearly identical curriculum imitated Yale's, and it was a manual labour college whose students had to perform physical work.西储学院 1826 年在俄亥俄州哈德逊镇创办,起初名为康涅狄格西部保留地西储学院暨预备学校,是俄亥俄州北部的第一所学院,因校园、入学标准与几乎一致的课程都效仿耶鲁而被昵称为「西部的耶鲁」。它还实行勤工俭学制,要求学生参加体力劳动。
- The Presbyterian founders sought to instil an evangelical ethos and to train Christian ministers for Ohio, where they were acutely scarce, and the college settled at Hudson because that town made the largest financial offer toward its construction, with founder David Hudson and founding trustee Owen Brown, a noted abolitionist, securing the site.长老会创办者力图向学生灌输福音派精神,并为牧师极度短缺的俄亥俄培养神职人员。学院最终落在哈德逊镇,是因为该镇为建校捐资最多,其创建者戴维·哈德逊与著名废奴主义者、创始董事欧文·布朗一起促成了选址。
- Hudson was a major stop on the Underground Railroad, the abolitionist John Brown, who would lead the 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry, grew up there as the son of co-founder Owen Brown, and in 1831 the abolition of slavery so dominated campus debate that chaplain Beriah Green resigned after four sermons while president Charles Backus Storrs died and Elizur Wright left to head the American Anti-Slavery Society.哈德逊是「地下铁路」逃亡网络上的重要一站,日后于 1859 年领导哈珀斯费里袭击的废奴主义者约翰·布朗正是创始董事欧文·布朗之子,在此长大。1831 年废奴议题主导了校园辩论,校牧贝莱亚·格林在四场布道后辞职,校长查尔斯·巴克斯·斯托尔斯病故,埃尔祖尔·赖特则离校出任美国反奴隶制协会负责人。
- Western Reserve was the first college west of the Appalachian Mountains to enrol an African-American student, John Sykes Fayette, in 1832, and to graduate one, in 1836, and Frederick Douglass delivered its commencement speech in 1854.西储学院是阿巴拉契亚山脉以西第一所招收非裔美国学生的学院,1832 年接纳约翰·赛克斯·费耶特入学,1836 年更让他成为首位毕业的非裔学生,1854 年弗雷德里克·道格拉斯在该校毕业典礼上发表演讲。
- In 1838 the astronomer Elias Loomis built the Loomis Observatory, which remains the second oldest observatory in the United States and the oldest still standing on its original site.1838 年,天文学家伊莱亚斯·卢米斯主持建造了卢米斯天文台,它至今仍是美国第二古老的天文台,也是在原址保存最久的一座。
- In 1852 the Medical School became only the second medical school in the United States to graduate a woman, Nancy Talbot Clark, and five more women followed within four years, including Emily Blackwell and Marie Zakrzewska, so that Western Reserve graduated six of the first eight female physicians in the country.1852 年,其医学院成为美国第二所培养出女性毕业生的医学院,毕业生为南希·塔尔博特·克拉克。此后四年又有五位女性取得学位,其中含艾米莉·布莱克威尔与玛丽·扎克热夫斯卡,使西储在当时的全美前八位女医生中独占六位。
- By 1875 Cleveland had become the region's dominant population and business centre and wanted a prominent university, so in 1882, on funding from the industrialist Amasa Stone, Western Reserve College moved to the city and was renamed Adelbert College of Western Reserve University, Adelbert being the name of Stone's son.到 1875 年,克利夫兰已成为该地区人口与商业的中心,并希望拥有一所名校,于是 1882 年西储学院在实业家阿马萨·斯通资助下迁往克利夫兰,改称西储大学阿德尔伯特学院,阿德尔伯特正是斯通之子的名字。
- In 1877 Leonard Case Jr. began laying the groundwork for the Case School of Applied Science by secretly donating valuable Cleveland real estate to a trust administered by his advisor Henry Gilbert Abbey, articles of incorporation were filed on 29 March 1880, classes began on 15 September 1881 and the state of Ohio granted a charter in 1882.1877 年,小伦纳德·凯斯开始为凯斯应用科学学院铺路,他秘密地把克利夫兰的优质地产捐入一个由其顾问亨利·吉尔伯特·阿比管理的信托。1880 年 3 月 29 日学院提交设立章程,1881 年 9 月 15 日开课,1882 年获得俄亥俄州颁发的特许状。
- For its first four years the school occupied the Case family home on Rockwell Street in downtown Cleveland, with lessons in the house and chemistry and physics laboratories on the second floor of the barn, before moving to University Circle in 1885 to land that Amasa Stone had helped buy.最初四年,学院设在克利夫兰市中心罗克韦尔街的凯斯家族宅邸内,课堂在屋里,化学与物理实验室设在谷仓二层,直到 1885 年迁入阿马萨·斯通协助购得土地的大学圈。
- The Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, run in the basement of a campus dormitory by Albert A. Michelson of the Case School and Edward W. Morley of Western Reserve, disproved the existence of the luminiferous ether and supplied evidence later used to support Einstein's special theory of relativity.1887 年,凯斯学院的阿尔伯特·迈克耳孙与西储大学的爱德华·莫雷在一栋校园宿舍地下室完成迈克耳孙-莫雷实验,证明光以太并不存在,其证据后来被用于支持爱因斯坦的狭义相对论。
- Merger talks began as early as 1890 but came to nothing, and although a 1920s Survey Commission on Higher Education in Cleveland strongly favoured federation, the only result was the joint founding of Cleveland College, a unit for part-time and adult students downtown.两校合并的讨论早在 1890 年即已出现,却无疾而终。1920 年代克利夫兰高等教育调查委员会明确支持联合,但最终只促成两校合作创办了克利夫兰学院,为市中心的全日制以外学生与成人提供课程。
- In 1921 Albert Einstein visited the Case campus during his first trip to the United States, out of respect for the physics done there, meeting the physics professor Dayton Miller after the fame of the Michelson-Morley work.1921 年,爱因斯坦在其首次访美期间,出于对凯斯学院物理研究的敬意到访校园,并在迈克耳孙-莫雷实验成名之后与物理学教授戴顿·米勒会面。
- During the Second World War the Case School of Applied Science was among 131 American colleges and universities taking part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which gave students a route to a naval commission, and in 1947 the school adopted the broader name Case Institute of Technology.二战期间,凯斯应用科学学院是全美 131 所参加 V-12 海军大学培训计划的院校之一,该计划让学生有机会获得海军军官任命,1947 年学院则改用更宽泛的名称凯斯理工学院。
- Led by the polymer scientist Eric Baer, the nation's first stand-alone programme in polymer science and engineering was founded in 1963 and grew into the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering.1963 年,在高分子科学家埃里克·贝尔主持下,全美第一个独立的高分子科学与工程专业在此设立,日后发展成高分子科学与工程系。
- The trustees of the two institutions formally federated them in 1967 after a study commission chaired by the former Ford Foundation president Henry T. Heald predicted that federation could create one of the largest private universities in the nation, a study financed by the Carnegie Corporation and the Cleveland Foundation.1967 年,两校董事会正式将其联合。此前由前福特基金会主席亨利·T. 希尔德领衔的调研委员会预言,联合可造就全美最大的私立大学之一,该调研由卡内基基金会与克利夫兰基金会出资。
- Between 1968 and 1971 the new university launched the first department of biomedical engineering in the country, the world's first combined MD and PhD programme in biomedical engineering, and the first computer engineering degree programme in the United States.1968 至 1971 年间,新大学先后创设全美第一个生物医学工程系、世界上第一个生物医学工程医学博士与哲学博士双学位项目,以及美国第一个计算机工程学位项目。
- Case Western Reserve was connected to the ARPANET, predecessor of the internet, in January 1971, its graduate Ken Biba published the Biba integrity model in 1977, it became the first university with an all-fibre-optic network in 1989 and was one of 34 charter members of Internet2 in 1996.1971 年 1 月,凯斯西储接入互联网的前身阿帕网,其毕业生肯·比巴 1977 年发表比巴完整性模型,1989 年它成为第一所建成全光纤网络的大学,1996 年又成为 Internet2 的 34 个创始成员之一。
- On 9 May 2003 a gunman, Biswanath Halder, entered the Peter B. Lewis Building of the Weatherhead School of Management, killed the graduate student Norman Wallace and wounded two professors before a SWAT team subdued him after seven hours, and a 2003 logo rebrand that emphasised the Case name drew such criticism that trustees restored equal weight to both names in June 2007.2003 年 5 月 9 日,枪手比斯瓦纳特·哈尔德闯入魏德海管理学院彼得·B. 刘易斯大楼,杀害研究生诺曼·华莱士并击伤两名教授,七小时后被特警制服。同年推行的强调「凯斯」之名的品牌重塑招致强烈批评,董事会遂于 2007 年 6 月恢复两个名称并重的做法。
- In 2011 President Barbara Snyder launched the Forward Thinking campaign, which raised one billion dollars in 30 months, was expanded by the trustees to 1.5 billion dollars and reached that mark in 2017, ultimately collecting 1.82 billion dollars.2011 年,校长芭芭拉·斯奈德发起「前瞻思考」募款运动,30 个月内筹得 10 亿美元,董事会将其目标扩大到 15 亿美元并于 2017 年达成,最终共募得 18.2 亿美元。
- In 2020 the university hosted the first of two presidential debates of that year at the Samson Pavilion of the Health Education Campus it shares with the Cleveland Clinic, Barbara Snyder left in February 2020 to lead the Association of American Universities, and Eric W. Kaler, formerly president of the University of Minnesota, was named president on 29 October 2020 and took office on 1 July 2021.2020 年,学校在其与克利夫兰诊所共用、健康教育校园内的萨姆森馆承办了当年两场美国总统辩论中的第一场。同年 2 月,芭芭拉·斯奈德转任美国大学协会主席,前明尼苏达大学校长埃里克·W. 卡勒于 2020 年 10 月 29 日获任校长,2021 年 7 月 1 日就职。
- A new logo unveiled on 2 June 2023 kept the sun element of the 2007 design but simplified it, prompting renewed debate among students and the editorial board of the student paper The Observer, and in 2026 the university marked its bicentenary, two hundred years after the founding of Western Reserve College.2023 年 6 月 2 日启用的新校徽保留了 2007 年设计中的太阳元素但加以简化,学生与学生报纸《观察者》编辑部再度争论。2026 年,即西储学院创办两百年后,学校迎来了建校两百周年。
