History

• The university was founded as the Medical College of Louisiana in 1834 by a cohort of medical doctors, partly in response to fears of smallpox, yellow fever and cholera, and it became the second medical school in the South and the fifteenth in the United States.该校于 1834 年由一批医生创办为「路易斯安那医学院」，部分出于对天花、黄热病与霍乱的担忧；它是美国南部第二所、全美第十五所医学院。
• In 1847 the state legislature established the school as the University of Louisiana, a public university, and the law department was added to it in the same year.1847 年，州议会将该校设立为公立的「路易斯安那大学」，并于同年增设法律系。
• Subsequently, in 1851 the university established its first academic department, and Francis Lister Hawks, an Episcopal priest and prominent citizen of New Orleans, was chosen as its first president.此后，该校于 1851 年设立第一个学术系，并推选圣公会牧师、新奥尔良知名市民弗朗西斯·利斯特·霍克斯（Francis Lister Hawks）为首任校长。
• The university was closed from 1861 to 1865 during the American Civil War and afterwards passed through a period of financial difficulty caused by an extended agricultural depression in the South.该校在 1861 至 1865 年美国南北战争期间停办，战后因南方农业长期萧条而经历了一段财政困难时期。
• Paul Tulane, owner of a prospering dry goods and clothing business, donated extensive real estate within New Orleans for the support of education, which led in 1882 to the establishment of the Tulane Educational Fund.经营干货与服装生意而致富的保尔·杜兰（Paul Tulane）捐出新奥尔良市内大片地产以支持教育，此举促成 1882 年设立「杜兰教育基金」。
• In 1884, through the influence of former Confederate general Randall Lee Gibson, the Louisiana legislature transferred control of the University of Louisiana to the administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund, creating the Tulane University of Louisiana and making it private.1884 年，在前邦联将军兰德尔·李·吉布森（Randall Lee Gibson）的影响下，路易斯安那州议会将路易斯安那大学的管理权移交杜兰教育基金理事会，由此创立路易斯安那杜兰大学并使其转为私立。
• This made Tulane one of only a few American universities ever to be converted from a state public institution into a private one, a status it retains today.这使杜兰成为美国极少数由公立机构转为私立的大学之一，这一私校身份延续至今。
• In 1884 William Preston Johnston, who had succeeded Robert E. Lee as president of Washington and Lee University, became the first president of Tulane.1884 年，曾继罗伯特·E·李之后出任华盛顿与李大学校长的威廉·普雷斯顿·约翰斯顿（William Preston Johnston）成为杜兰的首任校长。
• Paul Tulane's endowment specified that the institution could admit only white students, and a Louisiana law passed in 1884 reiterated that condition, a restriction that was later abandoned.保尔·杜兰的捐赠条款规定该校只能录取白人学生，1884 年州议会通过的一项法律也重申了这一条件，该限制后来被废除。
