History
- In the late 1950s South Florida's population was growing far faster than its public higher-education capacity, and on 15 July 1961 the state legislature passed an act authorising a new university in Boca Raton.1950 年代末,南佛罗里达的人口增长速度远远超过公立高等教育的承载能力,1961 年 7 月 15 日州议会通过法案,批准在博卡拉顿创办一所新大学。
- The chosen site was the Boca Raton Army Airfield, a Second World War base that had served as the Army Air Corps' only radar training facility and occupied 5,860 acres beside the existing municipal airport.校址选在博卡拉顿陆军机场,这处二战基地曾是陆军航空兵唯一的雷达训练场,占地 5,860 英亩,紧邻原有的市立机场。
- Much of that land had belonged to the Yamato Colony, a Japanese-American farming settlement, and was taken through eminent domain during the war, a dispossession that later became part of the university's own account of its origins.这片土地的大部分原属日裔美国人聚居的大和殖民地,战时被以征收权征用,这段剥夺史后来也被写入校方对自身由来的叙述之中。
- Thomas F. Fleming Jr., founder of Boca Raton's First Bank and Trust Company, negotiated with the federal government for title to the air base lands and set up an endowment corporation to raise planning money.博卡拉顿第一银行与信托公司创办人小托马斯·F·弗莱明与联邦政府谈判取得机场土地产权,并设立捐赠基金公司为规划筹款。
- By early 1947 the military had moved its radar training to Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, leaving the Boca Raton field effectively abandoned until the state acquired it for the new university.到 1947 年初,军方已把雷达训练迁往密西西比州的基斯勒空军基地,博卡拉顿机场实际上被废弃,直至州政府为新大学将其收归名下。
- FAU opened on 14 September 1964 with 867 students in five colleges, and its first degree was an honorary doctorate conferred on President Lyndon B. Johnson on 25 October 1964 at the university's dedication ceremony.1964 年 9 月 14 日,佛州大西洋大学以五个学院、867 名学生开学,其颁出的第一个学位是 1964 年 10 月 25 日建校典礼上授予约翰逊总统的荣誉博士学位。
- At opening the institution employed about 350 people, of whom 120 were faculty, and it added its first student housing in September 1965 when Algonquin Hall opened.开学时全校约有 350 名雇员,其中教师 120 人;1965 年 9 月阿尔冈昆宿舍楼启用,学校首次拥有校内学生住宿。
- The state originally intended FAU to serve only upper-division and graduate students, complementing the community colleges whose associate-degree graduates it was designed to absorb.州政府最初的设想是让该校只招收高年级本科生与研究生,作为社区学院的补充,接收取得副学士学位后转学的学生。
- The university began to spread beyond a single campus in 1971, when it opened a site on Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale to serve working adults in Broward County.1971 年学校在劳德代尔堡商业大道开设办学点,服务布劳沃德县的在职成年人,由此走出单一校区的格局。
- Rapid population growth across South Florida led FAU to admit lower-division undergraduates for the first time in 1984, and in 1985 it added a downtown Fort Lauderdale campus on Las Olas Boulevard.南佛罗里达人口的快速增长促使该校于 1984 年首次招收低年级本科生,1985 年又在劳德代尔堡市中心拉斯奥拉斯大道增设校区。
- In 1989 the Florida Legislature recognised the demand for higher education in Broward County by designating FAU as the lead state university for the county, a mandate that drove its next wave of expansion.1989 年佛罗里达州议会确认布劳沃德县的高等教育需求,指定该校为该县的主导州立大学,这一授权推动了其后的扩张潮。
- A campus in Davie, in western Broward County, followed in 1990, and a specialised ocean-engineering site at Dania Beach opened in 1997 on eight acres between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway.1990 年学校在布劳沃德县西部的戴维设立校区,1997 年又在大西洋与沿岸水道之间的一块八英亩土地上开设达尼亚滩海洋工程办学点。
