History

• On December 25, 1890 the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature won approval to create the Oklahoma Territorial Agricultural and Mechanical College, the land-grant institution authorized under the Morrill Act of 1862.1890 年 12 月 25 日，俄克拉荷马领地立法机构终于获批设立俄克拉荷马领地农业与机械学院，即依 1862 年《莫里尔法案》设立的赠地学院。

• The enabling act placed the college somewhere inside Payne County, an ambiguous description that set the county's towns competing until Stillwater ultimately secured the campus.设立法案只把学院位置笼统定在佩恩县境内，这一含糊表述引发县内各城镇争夺，最终由斯蒂尔沃特胜出。

• Students first assembled for class on December 14, 1891, and for two and a half years lessons were held in local churches.第一批学生于 1891 年 12 月 14 日开班上课，此后两年半时间在当地教堂里授课。

• The first academic building, later known as Old Central, was completed and dedicated on June 15, 1894 at the southeast corner of campus, surrounded by flat plowed prairie.第一栋教学楼即后来的 Old Central 于 1894 年 6 月 15 日建成落成，坐落在校区东南角一片开垦过的草原之中。

• In 1896 the college held its first commencement with six male graduates, and its first library occupied a single room shared with the English department.1896 年学院为 6 名男毕业生举行首次毕业典礼，最早的图书馆只是与英文系共用的一间房。

• Williams Hall, built in 1900 as the first campus building supplied with electricity, was nicknamed the Castle of the Prairies for its turreted design and stood until 1969.1900 年建成的 Williams Hall 是校内第一栋通电的楼，因角塔式外观被称为「草原的城堡」，一直存用到 1969 年。

• A barn serving the agricultural experiment station was fed by a reservoir pond created in 1895. The barn burned down in 1922, while the pond, enlarged and remodeled in 1928 and again in 1943, survives as Theta Pond.为农业试验站服务的一座粮仓由 1895 年修建的蓄水池供水，粮仓于 1922 年烧毁，水池则在 1928 年和 1943 年两次扩建改造，留存为今日的 Theta Pond。

• Morrill Hall was completed in 1906 as the principal building on campus. A fire in 1914 gutted its interior but left the outside structure intact, and the inside was reconstructed.Morrill Hall 于 1906 年建成并成为校园主楼，1914 年一场大火烧毁了内部却使外部结构完好，此后内部被重新修建。

• On-campus housing began in 1910 with the Boys' Dormitory, later renamed Crutchfield Hall and recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey as the first permanent boys' dormitory in Oklahoma, and it was demolished in 1995 after serving the School of Music and the engineering college.校内住宿始于 1910 年落成的男生宿舍，后改名 Crutchfield Hall，美国历史建筑调查称其为俄克拉荷马州第一座永久性男生宿舍，该楼在先后供音乐学院与工程建筑技术学院使用后于 1995 年拆除。

• The Women's Building also opened in 1910, combining a female dormitory with a dining hall, home economics classrooms and a women's gymnasium, later taking the name Garner Hall and now housing the Bartlett Center for the Studio Arts and the Gardiner Art Gallery.同样在 1910 年开放的女生楼集女生宿舍、食堂、家政教室与女子体育馆于一体，后命名为 Garner Hall，现为巴特莱特艺术工作室中心与格尔丁艺术画廊所在地。

• By 1919 the campus held Morrill Hall, the Central Building, the Engineering Building now called Gundersen Hall, the Women's Building, an auditorium, an armory-gymnasium and a power plant.到 1919 年，校园已拥有 Morrill Hall、中央楼、工程楼（今 Gundersen Hall）、女生楼、礼堂、军事体育馆和发电站。

• At the start of World War II the college was one of six schools chosen by the United States Navy to run the primary school of its Electronics Training Program, and admission to that program demanded passing the Eddy Test, one of the war years' most selective qualifying examinations.第二次世界大战初期，该校成为美国海军选定的六所电子训练计划初级学校之一，入训须通过战时选拔最严苛的 Eddy Test 考试。

• Beginning in March 1942 a new group of 100 Navy students arrived each month for three months of fourteen-hour-day study, with some 500 trainees on campus at a time under Professor Emory B. Phillips as Director of Instruction until the training ended in June 1945.自 1942 年 3 月起每月有一组 100 名海军新生到校，进行三个月每天 14 小时的高强度电气工程学习，同时在训学生约 500 人，教学负责人为 Emory B. Phillips 教授，训练持续到 1945 年 6 月。

• Much of the growth of Oklahoma A&M and the architectural coherence of its campus are credited to Henry G. Bennett, president from 1928 to 1950, whose plan for physical expansion was adopted in 1937 and guided development for more than fifty years in the Georgian style.该校前身俄克拉荷马农业及机械学院（Oklahoma A&M）的扩张与校园风貌的统一，多归功于 1928 年至 1950 年任校长的 Henry G. Bennett，其校园扩张方案于 1937 年通过，此后五十多年主导建设并奠定了普遍的乔治亚式风格。

• Bennett intended a centrally located library as the campus's focal point, the Edmon Low Library opened in 1953 to fulfill that design, and the Student Union that entered service in 1950 was enlarged many times afterwards.Bennett 把一座位于校园中心的图书馆规划为全局焦点，Edmon Low 图书馆于 1953 年落成实现这一设想，1950 年启用的学生中心楼此后多次扩建。

• OSU announced its Campus Master Plan in 2005, earmarking more than 800 million dollars for academic, athletic and administrative construction over twenty years and calling for an athletic village assembled by buying most property north of Boone Pickens Stadium, a land grab that drew criticism from the city of Stillwater and a lawsuit from one holdout owner over eminent domain.该校在 2005 年公布校园总体规划方案，计划二十年内投入超过 8 亿美元改善教学、体育与行政设施，并在主校区建设一座「体育村」，为此收购 Boone Pickens 体育场以北大部分地块，引发斯蒂尔沃特市政府与业主批评，唯一未出售地块的业主就征收权提起诉讼。

• An alumnus named T. Boone Pickens gave 165 million dollars to the athletic department in 2006 and 100 million dollars for endowed academic chairs in 2008, then the largest academic gift in state history, and in February 2010 pledged a further 100 million dollars to a scholarship endowment inside the 1 billion dollar Branding Success campaign, lifting his total above 500 million dollars even as press reports questioned how some gifts were handled.校友 T. Boone Pickens 于 2006 年向体育部门捐赠 1.65 亿美元，2008 年又捐 1 亿美元设立学术讲席教授基金，为当时该州史上最大的学术捐赠，2010 年 2 月再承诺 1 亿美元设立奖学金基金并纳入总额 10 亿美元的「品牌成功」筹款运动，使其累计捐赠与承诺超过 5 亿美元，同期媒体亦对部分捐款的运作方式提出伦理质疑。
