The University of Sheffield

The University of Sheffield is a public research university in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, a member of the Russell Group and one of the original red brick universities, whose present form dates from the Royal Charter granted on 31 May 1905.谢菲尔德大学是位于英格兰南约克郡谢菲尔德的公立研究型大学，是罗素集团成员以及英国最早的红砖大学之一，其现有建制可追溯至 1905 年 5 月 31 日获颁的皇家特许状。

The university grew out of three local institutions, the Sheffield School of Medicine founded in 1828, Firth College founded by the steel manufacturer Mark Firth in 1879 and the Sheffield Technical School founded in 1884, which were united in 1897 as the University College of Sheffield.该校由三个本地机构发展而来，即 1828 年创办的谢菲尔德医学院、1879 年由钢铁制造商马克·弗斯创办的弗斯学院，以及 1884 年创办的谢菲尔德技术学校，三者于 1897 年合并为谢菲尔德大学学院。

With about 30,000 students from more than 150 countries, six Nobel Prize winners among its alumni and staff and a placing of 82nd in the QS World University Rankings 2027, Sheffield combines a strong engineering and health-science tradition with an award-winning student experience.该校约有来自 150 多个国家的 3 万名学生，其校友与教职员中有六位诺贝尔奖得主，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中位列第 82 位，兼有深厚的工程与健康科学传统和屡获赞誉的学生体验。

History

• The oldest of the university's three ancestors was the Sheffield School of Medicine, founded in 1828, whose early finances were so insecure that it was saved from collapse only when Firth College took over the teaching of basic science subjects to its students.该校三个前身机构中最古老的是 1828 年创办的谢菲尔德医学院，其早期财政极为不稳，直到弗斯学院接手为医学生教授基础科学课程，它才免于倒闭。

• Firth College developed out of the Cambridge University Extension Movement, a scheme to bring university teaching to large English towns, and the success of its Sheffield courses led the local steel manufacturer Mark Firth to establish the College in 1879 to teach arts and science.弗斯学院源自剑桥大学推广运动这一把大学教育带到英格兰大城镇的计划，其课程在谢菲尔德取得的成功促使当地钢铁制造商马克·弗斯于 1879 年创办该学院，教授文学与科学。

• The Sheffield Technical School was created in 1884 from local concern about the technical training of men who ran the city's great industries, especially steelmaking, and in 1886 it moved to new premises on the site of the old Grammar School at St George's Square.谢菲尔德技术学校于 1884 年因当地关注经营该市钢铁等支柱产业者的技术培训而设立，1886 年迁入圣乔治广场旧文法学校校址的新校舍。

• In 1897 the three institutions were amalgamated by royal charter to form the University College of Sheffield, a step taken partly in the hope of joining the Victoria University, a federation of the university colleges at Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds.1897 年，三所机构依皇家特许状合并为谢菲尔德大学学院，此举部分是为了争取加入由曼彻斯特、利物浦与利兹三所大学学院组成的维多利亚联邦大学。

• By 1900 the federal Victoria University was disintegrating, and within a few years independent universities were established from its constituent colleges, opening the way for Sheffield to seek a charter of its own.到 1900 年，维多利亚联邦大学趋于解体，数年内其成员学院各自独立建校，为谢菲尔德谋求自身的特许状开辟了道路。

• When the University appealed to the people of Sheffield for donations in 1904, the city responded generously, raising more than fifty thousand pounds through penny donations from steel and factory workers and residents, and the university in return pledged to help the local economy.1904 年大学向谢菲尔德市民募捐时，全城慷慨响应，通过钢铁工人、工厂工人与居民的便士捐款筹集了逾五万英镑，大学则承诺回馈本地经济。

• On 31 May 1905 the University of Sheffield was granted its royal charter, and in July of that year the new Firth Court building on Western Bank was opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.1905 年 5 月 31 日，谢菲尔德大学获颁皇家特许状；同年 7 月，位于西岸的新弗斯楼由国王爱德华七世与亚历山德拉王后揭幕启用。
