Queen Margaret University

Queen Margaret University (QMU) is a public university in Musselburgh, East Lothian, on the eastern edge of Edinburgh, and it takes its name from Saint Margaret, queen consort of Alba from 1045 to 1093.玛格丽特女王大学（QMU）是位于苏格兰东洛锡安马瑟尔堡的一所公立大学，地处爱丁堡东郊，校名取自 1045 至 1093 年间阿尔巴王国的王后圣玛格丽特。

History

• The institution was founded in Edinburgh in 1875 as the Edinburgh School of Cookery and Domestic Economy by Christian Guthrie Wright and Louisa Stevenson, both members of the Edinburgh Ladies' Educational Association.该校于 1875 年在爱丁堡创办，名为爱丁堡烹饪与家政学校，创办人是克里斯蒂安·格思里·赖特与路易莎·史蒂文森，二人均为爱丁堡妇女教育协会成员。
• It opened as a women-only school with two aims, widening women's access to higher education and improving the diet of working-class families, and it kept both aims in view for decades.学校开办时仅招收女性，目标有二：扩大女性接受高等教育的机会，以及改善工人阶级家庭的饮食，此后数十年间这两项宗旨始终并重。
• Teaching began with lectures at the Royal Museum in Edinburgh, supplemented by public lectures and cookery demonstrations delivered in towns across Scotland.最初的教学以在爱丁堡皇家博物馆开设讲座为主，并辅以在苏格兰各地城镇举办的公开演讲与烹饪示范。
• In 1877 the school established a permanent base at Shandwick Place in Haymarket, which gave it classrooms and a demonstration kitchen close to the city's railway terminus.1877 年，学校在海马克特的尚德威克广场设立固定校址，从而在靠近城市铁路终点站的地段拥有了教室与示范厨房。
• The school moved to Atholl Crescent in 1891, expanded its course range and began offering residential places, while Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, became patron of the institution until her death in 1939.1891 年学校迁至阿索尔新月街，扩充课程范围并开始提供住宿名额，同年阿盖尔公爵夫人路易丝公主出任赞助人，直至 1939 年去世。
• In 1909 the school was designated a central institution and brought under the public control of the Scottish Education Department, which placed it among the small group of nationally funded colleges.1909 年，学校被定为中心学院并纳入苏格兰教育部的公共管理之下，由此进入全国性拨款院校的行列。
• The first principal appointed was Ethel De la Cour, who led the institution until her retirement in 1930, the year in which it was renamed the Edinburgh College of Domestic Science.首任校长是埃塞尔·德拉库尔，她主持校务直至 1930 年退休，同年学校更名为爱丁堡家政学院。
• In 1961 the college bought part of the Clermiston estate from developers to create the Corstorphine campus, which was first occupied in 1970 and opened by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, patron since 1940.1961 年，学院从开发商手中买下克莱米斯顿庄园的一部分，辟为科斯托芬校区，该校区于 1970 年首次投入使用，由自 1940 年起担任赞助人的格洛斯特公爵夫人爱丽丝公主揭幕。
• In 1972 the college adopted the name Queen Margaret in order to dissociate itself from the narrow field of domestic science, and it then broadened into drama, paramedical health care and the therapies.1972 年，学院采用「玛格丽特女王」之名，以摆脱家政学的狭窄定位，随后逐步扩展到戏剧、辅助医疗与各类治疗学科。

• The Edinburgh University Settlement School of Art Therapy, established in 1992, was absorbed in 1997, completing a series of seven mergers that built the modern subject profile.1992 年设立的爱丁堡大学社区服务处艺术治疗学校于 1997 年并入，至此完成了塑造其现代学科格局的七次合并。

Student life

• The students' union is housed in the main campus building completed in 2007, so that union activity, teaching and the library sit within a few minutes' walk of one another.学生会设于 2007 年落成的主楼之内，学生活动、教学与图书馆因此彼此相距仅数分钟步行路程。
