History

• The university's oldest antecedent, the Gordon Memorial Technical College, opened in Geelong in 1887 and was renamed the Gordon Institute of Technology in 1921, while its vocational arm continues today as the separate Gordon Institute of TAFE.迪肯大学最早的渊源是 1887 年在吉朗开办的戈登纪念技术学院，1921 年更名为戈登技术学院，其职业教育部分如今作为独立的戈登技术与继续教育学院延续。

• A report of the Australian Universities Commission dated 14 December 1973 recommended that a university be established in the Geelong region of Victoria, the state's fourth such institution.1973 年 12 月 14 日，澳大利亚大学委员会的一份报告建议在维多利亚州吉朗地区设立一所大学，为全州第四所大学。

• In February 1974 the federal cabinet welfare committee chose Geelong as the site, and on 10 December 1974 Royal Assent was granted to the Deakin University Act establishing the university at Waurn Ponds.1974 年 2 月，联邦内阁福利委员会选定吉朗，同年 12 月 10 日《迪肯大学法案》获御准，在瓦恩庞兹设立这所大学。
