History

• King Chulalongkorn's reforms, which aimed at transforming Thailand into a modern state and demanded trained officials in many fields, led him to found the Civil Service Training School near the north gate of the Grand Palace in 1899.朱拉隆功国王旨在把泰国改造为现代国家的改革需要各领域受过训练的文官，这促使他于 1899 年在大皇宫北门附近创办了文官培训学校。

• Graduates of that school became royal pages, learning how to manage organisations by working closely with the king, a traditional route into the Siamese bureaucracy before service in the Ministry of Interior or other ministries.该校的毕业生成为宫廷侍从，在与国王的密切共事中学习组织管理，这是进入暹罗官僚体系的传统途径，之后他们多在内政部或其他部门任职。

• On 1 April 1902 the King renamed the school the Royal Pages School.1902 年 4 月 1 日，国王将该校改名为「宫廷侍从学校」。

• Because King Rama VI believed education should be provided not only to bureaucrats but to all people, the college was upgraded to Chulalongkorn University on 26 March 1917 and its schools were transformed into four faculties, Arts and Sciences, Public Administration, Engineering and Medicine.由于拉玛六世国王认为教育不应只面向文官、而应面向全体人民，该学院于 1917 年 3 月 26 日升格为朱拉隆功大学，其各学校也改组为文学与理学院、公共行政学院、工程学院与医学院四个学院。
