History

• In 1890 the Chicago minister Frank Wakely Gunsaulus delivered what became known as the "Million Dollar Sermon" from the pulpit of his South Side church, near the site the university now occupies.1890 年，芝加哥牧师弗兰克·韦克利·冈索勒斯在其南城教堂的讲坛上发表后来被称为「百万美元布道」的演说，地点就在如今校园所在之处附近。
• In the sermon Gunsaulus declared that with a million dollars he could build a school where students would learn to think in practical, not theoretical, terms, an idea captured in the phrase "learn by doing".在布道中，冈索勒斯宣称只要有一百万美元，他就能建一所让学生学会以务实而非空谈方式思考的学校，这一理念被概括为「在做中学」。
• Inspired by Gunsaulus, Philip Danforth Armour Sr. gave one million dollars to found the Armour Institute, and he described the gift as his best-paying investment.受冈索勒斯感召，老菲利普·丹福斯·阿莫尔捐出一百万美元创办阿莫尔学院，并称这笔捐赠是他收益最高的投资。
• When the Armour Institute opened in 1893 it offered professional courses in engineering, chemistry, architecture and library science, and the Armour family continued to support it in its early years.阿莫尔学院于 1893 年开办时开设工程、化学、建筑与图书馆学等专业课程，阿莫尔家族在其早年持续给予支持。
• The Lewis Institute was established in 1895 by the estate of the hardware merchant and investor Allen Cleveland Lewis on Chicago's west side, offering liberal arts, science and engineering courses for both men and women.刘易斯学院由五金商人兼投资人艾伦·克利夫兰·刘易斯的遗产于 1895 年在芝加哥西区建立，为男女学生开设人文、科学与工程课程。
• At separate meetings on 26 October 1939 the trustees of Armour and Lewis voted to merge the two colleges, and an April 23, 1940 decision of the Cook County circuit court solidified the merger.1939 年 10 月 26 日，阿莫尔与刘易斯两校董事会分别表决通过合并；1940 年 4 月 23 日库克县巡回法院的裁决使合并正式生效。
• Illinois Institute of Technology was thus created in 1940 as the union of the Armour Institute and the Lewis Institute, uniting two nineteenth-century technical and professional schools.伊利诺理工学院由此于 1940 年由阿莫尔学院与刘易斯学院合并而成，把两所 19 世纪的技术与职业教育学府联合起来。
• The Institute of Design was founded in Chicago by László Moholy-Nagy in 1937 as the New Bauhaus: Chicago School of Design, became known as the Institute of Design in 1944 and merged with Illinois Tech in 1949.设计学院由拉斯洛·莫霍利-纳吉于 1937 年在芝加哥创办，初名「新包豪斯：芝加哥设计学校」，1944 年改称设计学院，并于 1949 年并入伊利诺理工学院。

• Two years before the merger, in 1938, the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe joined the Armour Institute to head its architecture programme and that of the Art Institute of Chicago, and he was later tasked with designing a completely new campus.合并前两年，即 1938 年，德国建筑师路德维希·密斯·凡德罗加入阿莫尔学院，主持其建筑课程以及芝加哥艺术学院的建筑课程，其后受托设计一座全新的校园。
