History

• LSU traces its land base to grants made by the United States government in 1806, 1811 and 1827 for the support of a seminary of learning, and its origin as a military academy left the school steeped in martial tradition, giving it the nickname Ole War Skule.学校的校地可追溯到美国政府1806年、1811年和1827年为兴办学习学院而划拨的三批赠地，军事学院的出身使其长期保持军事传统，并得到“Ole War Skule”这一老牌绰号。

• The Louisiana General Assembly established the Seminary of Learning of the State of Louisiana in 1853, choosing a site near Pineville in Rapides Parish in the central part of the state.路易斯安那州议会于1853年设立州立学习学院，校址选在该州中部拉皮兹堂区派恩维尔附近。

• Modelled initially on the Virginia Military Institute, the institution opened on January 2, 1860 with five professors and nineteen cadets under superintendent Major William Tecumseh Sherman, later a Union general.学院最初仿照弗吉尼亚军事学院办学，1860年1月2日开学，只有5名教授与19名学员，首任监督为威廉·特库姆塞·谢尔曼（William Tecumseh Sherman）少校，即后来的联邦军名将。

• When Louisiana became the fifth state to secede from the Union on January 26, 1861, Sherman resigned after barely a year in the post, and the school closed on June 30, 1861 once the Civil War was under way and its first site, known as the Old LSU Site, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.1861年1月26日路易斯安那成为脱离联邦的第五个州，谢尔曼上任不到一年即辞职北返，学校在同年6月30日随内战爆发停课，其原址“老LSU校址”已列入《国家史迹名录》。

• The seminary reopened briefly in April 1863 but was shut again during the Union Army's Red River Campaign, and the damage sustained under occupation kept it closed for the rest of the war.学院在1863年4月短暂复课，又因联邦军的红河战役再度关闭，占领期间的损失使其直到战争结束都未能重开。

• After the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, General Sherman donated two cannons to the institution, guns recovered after the war that had been used in the opening bombardment of Fort Sumter in April 1861, and they are still displayed in front of the Military Science and Aerospace Studies Building.1865年4月9日南方军在阿波马托克斯法院屋投降后，谢尔曼向学校捐赠两门火炮，这两门炮曾在1861年4月炮击萨姆特堡时开火，至今仍陈列在军事科学与航天研究楼前。

• The seminary reopened on October 2, 1865, burned down on October 15, 1869, resumed its exercises on November 1, 1869 in Baton Rouge where it has remained ever since, and took the name Louisiana State University in 1870.学院1865年10月2日重新开学，1869年10月15日毁于大火，同年11月1日在巴吞鲁日复课并从此定居该城，1870年正式改称路易斯安那州立大学。

• Louisiana State University Agricultural and Mechanical College, created by an act approved on April 7, 1874 to carry out the United States Morrill Act of 1862, opened temporarily in New Orleans on June 1, 1874 and merged with Louisiana State University in 1877, which fixed the university's full legal name.为实施美国1862年《莫里尔赠地法》而设立的路易斯安那州立大学农工学院经1874年4月7日法案批准成立，同年6月1日在新奥尔良临时开学，1877年与州立大学合并，学校的法定全称由此确定。

• From 1886 the university occupied the former federal garrison grounds that are now the site of the state capitol, having previously used the quarters of the Institute for the Deaf, Mute, and Blind, and the land for the present campus was purchased in 1918.1886年起学校迁入今天州议会大厦所在的原联邦军营房，此前借用的是聋哑盲学校的房舍，现校区土地则于1918年购得。
