History

• At the Synod of Thurles in 1850 the Irish Catholic hierarchy decided that a university had to be founded for Catholics, because the Anglican Trinity College was barred from producing the educated laity they required. John Henry Newman was brought over from Birmingham to lead the movement.1850 年瑟尔斯主教会议决定必须为天主教徒创办一所大学，因为圣三一学院作为国教会机构无法培养他们所需的受教平信徒，学校随后从伯明翰延请约翰·亨利·纽曼主持筹建。

• The Catholic University opened on the feast of St Malachy, 3 November 1854, at 86 St Stephen's Green in the city centre, with Newman as its first rector. On that day the register of the university listed seventeen students, the first name being Daniel O'Connell, grandson of the Liberator.1854 年 11 月 3 日圣玛拉基节，爱尔兰天主教大学在市中心圣斯蒂芬绿地 86 号开学，纽曼出任首任校长；当天注册的学生共 17 人，登记的第一个名字是「解放者」丹尼尔·奥康奈尔的孙子。

• Newman argued that the students should live in small residential colleges under a dean and a private tutor, each with its own chapel and common table. Three such houses were opened, at 86 St Stephen's Green, 16 Harcourt Street and 6 Harcourt Street, the last being Newman's own house, St Mary's.纽曼主张学生按小组住在院长与私人导师带领下的独立宿舍里，每栋房子都有自己的小教堂和公共餐桌；学校先后开办三处住所，即圣斯蒂芬绿地 86 号的大学宿舍、哈考特街 16 号与纽曼自住的哈考特街 6 号「圣玛丽」。

• Newman established the Catholic University Medical School on Cecilia Street in 1855, arguing that of 111 doctors and 95 medical schools in Dublin only twelve doctors were Catholic, so the bottleneck was clinical teaching rather than the colleges themselves.纽曼于 1855 年在塞西莉亚街创办天主教大学医学院，他指出当时都柏林 111 名医生中只有 12 名为天主教徒，卡住医学教育的并非学院数量而是临床教学环节。

• Newman's own University Church opened beside 86 St Stephen's Green in 1856, and his sermons there were published in 1857. He left Dublin in 1857, and Bartholomew Woodlock, who had been his successor as rector in 1861, later gave up the post to become Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise in 1879.纽曼主持的大学教堂于 1856 年在圣斯蒂芬绿地 86 号旁落成，其讲道词于 1857 年结集出版；他 1857 年离开都柏林，1861 年接任校长的巴塞洛缪·伍德洛克后来在 1879 年辞去校长职务出任阿达与克隆马克诺伊斯主教。

• The Royal University of Ireland was established in 1880 and allowed students of any college to sit its examinations, which broke the Catholic University's isolation. In 1882 the Catholic University reorganised, its St Stephen's Green arts school run by the Irish Jesuits was renamed University College, and it joined the Royal University system.1880 年爱尔兰皇家大学成立，允许各学院学生参加统一考试，天主教大学的孤立由此打破；1882 年天主教大学改组，圣斯蒂芬绿地的艺术学院由爱尔兰耶稣会接办并更名为「大学学院」，同时加入皇家大学体系。

• Fr William Delany SJ was appointed the first president of University College in 1883. Gerard Manley Hopkins, then a young professor of Greek and Latin, and the student James Joyce belonged to the college in this period, along with Patrick Pearse, Eoin MacNeill and Tom Kettle.1883 年，威廉·德拉尼神父被任命为大学学院首任校长；其时青年教授杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯讲授希腊文与拉丁文，学生詹姆斯·乔伊斯也在此就读，同期还包括帕特里克·珀斯、埃因·麦克尼尔与汤姆·凯特尔。

• The National University of Ireland was founded in 1908 with three constituent colleges at Dublin, Galway and Cork, and the Royal University was dissolved in 1909. D. J. Coffey, professor of physiology in the Cecilia Street medical school, became the first president of UCD, and the medical school became the UCD Faculty of Medicine.1908 年爱尔兰国立大学成立，下设都柏林、戈尔韦与科克三个成员学院，爱尔兰皇家大学于 1909 年解散；塞西莉亚街医学院的生理学教授 D. J. 科菲出任都柏林大学首任校长，该医学院随之改组为都柏林大学医学院。

• In 1911 a gift from Lord Iveagh allowed the college to expand over Earlsfort Terrace, Hatch Street and St Stephen's Green, and the Iveagh Gardens behind the terrace were renamed in honour of Newman by the college in 1908.1911 年艾弗勋爵的赠地使学院得以向厄尔斯福特台地、哈奇街与圣斯蒂芬绿地一侧扩展，1908 年学校还将台地后的花园以纽曼之名命名为艾弗花园。

• In 1913 Eoin MacNeill, professor of early Irish history, called for the formation of an Irish nationalist force against the Ulster Volunteers and became chief-of-staff of the Irish Volunteers. Staff and students took part in the 1916 Easter Rising, among them Pádraig Pearse and Thomas MacDonagh, while Tom Kettle and Willie Redmond fought for Britain in the First World War.1913 年，早期爱尔兰史教授埃因·麦克尼尔针对 Ulster Volunteers 的组建号召成立爱尔兰民族武装力量，并出任爱尔兰志愿军参谋长；1916 年爱尔兰起义中帕特里克·珀斯与托马斯·麦克多纳等师生参与其事，而汤姆·凯特尔与威利·雷德蒙德则在第一次世界大战中为英方作战。

• The University Education (Agriculture and Dairy Science) Act of 1926 transferred the Royal College of Science in Merrion Street and the Albert Agricultural College at Glasnevin to UCD. Belfield House was bought for sporting purposes in 1933, and by the early 1940s the college had become the largest third-level institution in the state.1926 年《大学教育（农业与乳业科学）法》把梅里恩街的皇家科学学院与格拉斯内文的阿尔伯特农业学院一并划归都柏林大学；1933 年学校购入贝尔菲尔德庄园用于体育，到 1940 年代初大学已成为全国规模最大的高等教育机构。

• Arthur Conway became president in 1940. The move to a greenfield campus began in the early 1960s, when the faculty of science relocated to Belfield, and between 1969 and 1970 the faculties of commerce, arts and law followed, turning the college into a suburban campus university.1940 年阿瑟·康威出任校长，20 世纪 60 年代初理学院先行迁往贝尔菲尔德，1969 至 1970 年间商学院、文学院与法学院相继迁入，市中心的小规模院校由此转为市郊校园大学。

• Jeremiah Hogan was appointed president in 1964, the year in which UCD became the first university in Europe to launch an MBA programme.

• Patrick Masterson became president in 1986, the same year the neighbouring Sports Complex opened. In 1990 the college purchased Carysfort College in Blackrock and opened its first student village, Belgrove, and in 1992 the second village, Merville, came into use.1986 年帕特里克·马斯特森出任校长，体育中心同年开放；1990 年学校购入布萊克罗克的卡里斯福特学院并启用首个学生宿舍区贝尔格罗夫，1992 年第二个宿舍区梅维尔投入使用。

• Art Cosgrove was appointed president in 1993 and O'Reilly Hall was opened in 1994, designed by the Dublin practice Scott Tallon Walker. In 1990 the Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School had been located in the Carysfort College buildings in Blackrock.1993 年阿特·科斯格罗夫出任校长，1994 年由都柏林建筑事务所斯科特·塔隆·沃克设计的奥莱利厅落成；1990 年迈克尔·斯穆里特研究生商学院已设于布萊克罗克的卡里斯福特学院楼内。

• The Universities Act of 1997 renamed the institution as a national university of Ireland, and a ministerial order of 1998 fixed the name University College Dublin, National University of Ireland, Dublin. The change ended the ambiguity of a college that had been a national university body in all but name.1997 年《大学法》把该校改称爱尔兰国立大学的一个成员大学，1998 年部长令确定其名称为「都柏林大学学院－爱尔兰国立大学都柏林分校」，长期名实不符的建制问题就此了结。

• In 2003 NovaUCD, the innovation and technology transfer centre, opened, and in 2004 Hugh Brady became president. The Horizons curriculum, introduced at the start of the academic year 2005-2006, semesterised and modularised all undergraduate degrees, and the UCD Confucius Institute was founded in 2006.2003 年创新与技术转移中心 NovaUCD 启用，2004 年休·布雷迪出任校长；2005 至 2006 学年起推行的 Horizons 课程把全部本科专业改为一学期制与模块化，2006 年又与中国国际中文教育基金会合作设立都柏林大学孔子学院。

• The Student and Sports Centre was extended in 2012, and in 2013 the O'Brien Centre for Science and the Sutherland School of Law opened, the latter the largest common law law school in the European Union.

• Andrew Deeks resigned as president in March 2022 to take up a vice-chancellor post at Murdoch University and Mark Rogers became acting president, while Orla Feely took office as president in 2023. In the same year the EIRSAT-1 CubeSat built at UCD was launched on 1 December 2023 and became Ireland's first satellite.2022 年 3 月安德鲁·迪克斯辞去校长职务赴 Murdoch University 任副校长，马克·罗杰斯代理校长事务，2023 年奥拉·费利正式就任校长；同年由学校研制的 EIRSAT-1 立方星于 12 月 1 日升空，成为爱尔兰第一颗人造卫星。
