History

• The idea of a Jewish technical institute in Ottoman Palestine was first raised at the Fifth Zionist Congress held in 1901 at the Stadtcasino in Basel, where the philosopher Martin Buber, the chemist Chaim Weizmann and the journalist Berthold Feiwel pressed the proposal.在奥斯曼帝国统治下的巴勒斯坦创办犹太技术学院之议，最早由哲学家马丁·布伯、化学家哈伊姆·魏茨曼与记者贝特霍尔德·法伊韦尔在 1901 年巴塞尔第五届犹太复国主义大会上提出。

• In 1908 Paul Nathan, a director of the German-Jewish Ezra association, began a series of fundraising drives for a school of engineering and sciences that would eventually become the Technion.1908 年，德国犹太社团 Ezra 的负责人保罗·纳坦发起一系列募款活动，为日后成为以色列理工学院的工程与科学学校筹措经费。

• Conceived in the early 1900s as the Technikum by the German-Jewish fund Ezra, it was to be the only institution of higher learning in Ottoman Syria apart from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, founded in 1906.该校在本世纪初由德国犹太基金 Ezra 以「Technikum」之名筹划，拟成为奥斯曼叙利亚地区除 1906 年创办的耶路撒冷贝扎莱尔艺术设计学院之外的唯一高等学府。

• The cornerstone was laid in 1912 and the campus rose on the pine-covered north-eastern slopes of Mount Carmel in Haifa, though studies did not begin until 1924, twelve years later.学院于 1912 年奠基，校舍建在海法卡梅尔山东北坡的松林之间，但直到 12 年后的 1924 年才开始招生授课。

• In October 1913 the board of trustees voted to teach in German, provoking the national controversy known as the War of the Languages, and after protests from American and Russian Jews the board reversed itself in February 1914 and adopted Hebrew.1913 年 10 月，董事会表决以德语授课，引发全国性的「语言之战」争论，在美国与俄国犹太人的反对下，董事会于 1914 年 2 月推翻原议，改定希伯来语为教学语言。

• With that reversal the German name Technikum gave way to the Hebrew name Technion, and the choice of Hebrew is counted as a milestone in its consolidation as the language of the future state of Israel.随着这一决定，「Technikum」这一德语校名让位于希伯来语校名「Technion」，希伯来语的选择也被视为其日后成为以色列国语的关键一步。

• In 1923 Albert Einstein visited the institute and planted the first palm tree, a gesture that began a tradition in which each Nobel laureate associated with the Technion plants a tree on the campus.1923 年阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦到访并种下第一棵棕榈树，由此形成一项传统，此后每位与以色列理工学院结缘的诺贝尔奖得主都会在校内植树。

• Einstein went on to found the first Technion Society and served as its president after returning to Germany, and his original palm still stands before the old Technion building in the Hadar quarter, which now houses the MadaTech science museum.爱因斯坦随后创立了首个以色列理工学院学会并在返回德国后出任主席，那棵棕榈树至今仍挺立在哈达尔区旧校舍前，旧址现为 MadaTech 科学博物馆。
