University of Kentucky

The University of Kentucky is a public land-grant research university in Lexington, Kentucky, founded in 1865 by John Bryan Bowman as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky and carrying an enrollment of 35,952 students in fall 2024, the highest of any institution in the state.肯塔基大学是一所公立赠地研究型大学，校本部位于肯塔基州列克星敦，1865 年由约翰·布赖恩·鲍曼创建为肯塔基农业与机械学院，2024 年秋季在校生 35,952 人，居全州之首。

It is one of Kentucky's two land-grant universities, the other being Kentucky State University, is organised into sixteen colleges, and is classified among R1 Doctoral Universities for very high research spending and doctorate production.该校与肯塔基州立大学同为州内两所赠地大学，下设 16 个学院，因研究经费与博士产出极高而被列为 R1 级博士大学。

After a 1997 compact with the Kentucky General Assembly the university steadily redirected spending toward research, the National Science Foundation recorded 476.5 million dollars of research and development outlay in 2022, ranking it 61st in the nation, and two Nobel Prizes are credited to its alumni.1997 年与州议会缔结契约后，该校经费持续转向研究，美国国家科学基金会记载其 2022 年研发支出为 4.765 亿美元，居全国第 61 位，另有两位诺贝尔奖出自其校友。

History

• John Bryan Bowman was appointed head of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, universally called A&M, when it was created in 1865 as a department of Kentucky University with federal support under the Morrill Land-Grant Act.肯塔基农业与机械学院于 1865 年设立，当时是肯塔基大学下属学院并获莫里尔赠地法的联邦支持，通称 A&M，约翰·布赖恩·鲍曼出任首任负责人。

• The college opened in 1866 with 190 students and 10 professors on Ashland, the estate of Henry Clay, and it conferred its first degree in 1869 after James Kennedy Patterson replaced Bowman.学院 1866 年在亨利·克莱的阿什兰庄园开学，有学生 190 人、教师 10 人，1869 年詹姆斯·肯尼迪·帕特森接替鲍曼后授予首个学位。

• Master's programmes began in 1876, and in 1878 A&M separated from Kentucky University, which reverted to its original name Transylvania University, while Lexington donated a 52-acre park and fair ground that became the core of today's campus.1876 年起开设硕士课程，1878 年 A&M 与肯塔基大学脱钩，后者恢复旧名特拉尼维尔大学，列克星敦市捐献的 52 英亩公园与集市用地遂成今校区核心。

• Although A&M was at first a male-only institution, it began to admit women in 1880, and the Administration Building, the first of three structures on the new campus, was completed on 15 February 1882.A&M 起初只收男生，1880 年开始招收女生，行政大楼作为新校区三座建筑中的第一座于 1882 年 2 月 15 日竣工。

• Three years later the college formed an Agricultural Experiment Station to study agribusiness, food processing, nutrition, water and soil resources and the environment, and this was followed by the Agricultural Extension Service of 1910, one of the first in the United States and a model for the federally mandated programmes that began in 1914.三年后学院创设农业试验站，研究农事企业、食品加工、营养、水土资源与环境，1910 年又设农业推广服务处，为全美最早者之一，并成为 1914 年起联邦强制项目的范本。

• Its colours were settled from a necktie: blue and light yellow were adopted at a Kentucky-Centre football game on 19 December 1891, and royal blue and white became the official colours in 1892.该校校色由一条领带定色：蓝与浅黄在 1891 年 12 月 19 日肯塔基对中心学院足球赛上启用，皇家蓝与白色则于 1892 年定为正式校色。

• Organised athletics began in the 1890s when A&M students scheduled football matches with neighbouring colleges, and a women's basketball programme started on campus in 1902 a year before the men's team was added.有组织的竞技始于 1890 年代，当时 A&M 学生与邻近学院商定橄榄球赛事，女子篮球于 1902 年在校内起步，男子队次年跟上。

• After a football victory over Illinois on 9 October 1909 the chief of the military department, Commandant Carbuiser, said the team had fought like wildcats, the phrase became the university slogan, and a costumed mascot first appeared in 1976.1909 年 10 月 9 日橄榄球击败伊利诺伊队后，军事科主任卡尔比瑟称队员“奋战如野猫”，此语演为校队口号，1976 年又首度出现人偶吉祥物。

• Patterson Hall, the school's first women's dormitory, was constructed in 1904, and its residents had to cross a swampy hollow, where the since demolished student centre later stood, to reach central campus.帕特森楼作为首座女生宿舍于 1904 年建成，住读生须穿过一片低洼湿地方能抵达中心校区，那片洼地后来建起如今已拆除的学生中心。

• The College of Arts and Sciences, the agricultural college and the law school all date from 1908, the Graduate School was founded in 1912, and the present Pigman College of Engineering was formed in 1918 by merging the colleges of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and mines and metals.文理学院、农学院与法学院均始于 1908 年，研究生院成立于 1912 年，今皮格曼工程学院则由 1918 年土木、机械、采矿冶金三院合并而成。

• On reaching university status the school took the name State University, Lexington, Kentucky, and it became the University of Kentucky in 1916, the same year the College of Home Economics was created with Mary E. Sweeney promoted from chair of the department to its founding dean.该校升格大学后曾名肯塔基州立大学列克星敦，1916 年定名为肯塔基大学，同年设立家政学院，玛丽·E·斯威尼由系主任升任首任院长。

• Debate over women's athletics led in 1924 to the ending of all varsity competition for women for some fifty years, and in 1925 the college founded the College of Commerce, known today as the Gatton College of Business and Economics.关于女子体育的争论导致 1924 年校方取消全部女子校队竞技，中断约五十年，1925 年又创设商学院，即今加顿经济与工商管理学院。

• Memorial Hall was completed in 1929 and dedicated to the 2,756 Kentuckians who died in the First World War, and the new King Library opened in 1931, named for Margaret I. King, a long-time director of the libraries.纪念楼 1929 年落成，用以悼念在第一次世界大战中阵亡的 2,756 名肯塔基人，新金图书馆 1931 年开馆，以长期执掌馆务的玛格丽特·I·金命名。

• Lyman T. Johnson applied for a doctorate in the philosophy of history on 15 March 1948 and was refused under the Day Law, and on 27 April 1949 Judge Hiram Church Ford, after a single day of testimony, cited the Fourteenth Amendment to rule that qualified applicants of any race be admitted to graduate study, so graduate and professional programmes integrated in 1949 while Black undergraduates were enrolled only after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.莱曼·T·约翰逊于 1948 年 3 月 15 日申请历史哲学博士学位，被以《日光法》为由拒绝，1949 年 4 月 27 日法官海勒姆·奇奇·福特仅听审一日即援引第十四修正案，裁定任何种族的合格申请者皆可入读研究生院，研究生与专业学院由此在 1949 年实现融合，本科生则要到 1954 年布朗诉教育委员会案判决后才向黑人开放。

• Nine years after the Northern Extension Center opened at Covington, Ashland lawyer Henderson Dysard and Paul G. Blazer, founder and chief executive of the Ashland Oil and Refining Company, persuaded president Dickey and the trustees to take over Ashland Junior College in 1957, and extension centres followed at Fort Knox in 1958 and at Cumberland and Henderson in 1960.科温顿北部分中心设立九年后，阿什兰律师亨德森·戴萨特与阿什兰石油精炼公司创办人兼总裁保罗·G·布雷泽于 1957 年说服迪基校长与董事会接办阿什兰初级学院，1958 年设诺克斯堡分中心，1960 年设坎伯兰与亨德森分中心。

• The Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce opened in 1959 to train men and women for international affairs at master's and doctoral level, and a mandate authorised by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Bert Combs on 6 March 1962 led the trustees to establish the Community College System in 1964 with centres at Covington, Ashland, Fort Knox, Cumberland, Henderson and Elizabethtown.帕特森外交与国际商务学院 1959 年开院，以硕士、博士层次培养国际事务人才，1962 年 3 月 6 日州长伯特·康布斯签署州议会授权，董事会 1964 年据此建立社区学院系统，设科温顿、阿什兰、诺克斯堡、坎伯兰、亨德森与伊丽莎白敦诸中心。
