History

• The Legislature chartered the university on 24 February 1844 and planners chose an isolated rural site west of Oxford as a sylvan exile, residents of Lafayette County donated the land in 1845, and architect William Nichols supervised the Lyceum, two dormitories and faculty residences from 1846, with the first 80 students arriving on 6 November 1848, most of them children of elite slaveholders.州议会于 1844 年 2 月 24 日批准设立该校，规划者选定牛津以西的僻静乡间地块作为「林居」，拉斐特县居民于 1845 年捐出土地，建筑师威廉·尼科尔斯自 1846 年主持修建 「Lyceum」教学楼、两栋宿舍与教职住宅，1848 年 11 月 6 日首批 80 名学生入学，其中多数为蓄奴阶层家庭子女。
• For 23 years the university was the only public institution of higher learning in Mississippi and for 110 years the only comprehensive university in the state, and in 1854 it opened a law school that became the fourth state-supported law school in the United States.该校在 23 年间是密西西比州唯一的公立高等教育机构，并在 110 年间是该州唯一的综合性大学，1854 年设立的法学院成为美国第四所由州政府支持的法律学院。
• The early president Frederick A. P. Barnard sought to raise the standing of the institution and his hundred-page report of 1858 produced little more than a change in the title of its head to chancellor, while his Massachusetts birth, his Yale degree and his Union sympathies brought him into conflict with the state legislature.首任校长弗雷德里克·A·P·巴纳德力图提升学校地位，他 1858 年提交董事会的一份百页报告最终只促成了学校主管称谓由「校长」改为「教务长」的改动，而他生于马萨诸塞、毕业于耶鲁并同情联邦，与州议会之间的冲突随之加深。
• After Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election Mississippi became the second state to secede, with the articles of secession drafted by the university's mathematics professor Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, and students formed a military company called the University Greys that was absorbed into the Confederate army.1860 年林肯当选美国总统后，密西西比成为第二个脱离联邦的州，其脱离宣言由该校数学教授卢基乌斯·昆图斯·辛辛纳图斯·拉马尔起草，学生则组成名为「University Greys」的连队并编入南方联盟军。
• Within a month of the outbreak of civil war only five students remained, the university closed by the autumn of 1861, and its final act before closing was to award Barnard a doctorate of divinity, after which the campus was converted into a Confederate hospital within six months.内战爆发后不到一个月校内仅剩五名学生，学校于 1861 年秋季前后停办，停办前董事会的最后一项决议是授予巴纳德神学博士学位，校舍在六个月内被改作南方联盟军医院。
• The hospital was evacuated in November 1862 as Ulysses S. Grant approached, troops from Kansas destroyed much of the medical equipment, and a single remaining professor persuaded Grant not to burn the campus, while more than 700 wounded soldiers died and were buried on the grounds during the war.1862 年 11 月，联邦将领尤利西斯·S·格兰特率军逼近时医院撤离，来自堪萨斯的部队毁坏了大量医疗设备，校内一位留守教授说服格兰特没有焚烧校园，整个战争期间有 700 多名伤员在校内去世并安葬于此。
• The university reopened in October 1865, lowered admission standards and removed tuition so that veterans could enrol, but in 1870 the chancellor declared that he and the whole faculty would resign rather than admit Black students, and the student body stayed entirely white for decades.该校于 1865 年 10 月复课，降低入学门槛并取消学费以便退伍军人入学，但 1870 年教务长声明他与全体教职人员宁可辞职也不接受黑人学生，此后数十年学生群体始终全部为白人。
• Women were admitted from 1882 although they could not live on campus or attend the law school, and in 1885 the university hired Sarah McGehee Isom, the first female faculty member at any college in the southeastern United States, a distinction honoured when the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies was founded in 1981.该校自 1882 年起招收女生，但女生不得住校、不得就读法学院，1885 年聘用的萨拉·麦基·伊索姆成为美国东南部首位女性大学教师，1981 年学校设立萨拉·伊索姆女性与性别研究中心以志纪念。
• The byname Ole Miss was first used in 1897 when it won a contest for the title of the university yearbook, and within two years students and alumni were applying it to the institution itself, with the term generally traced to a term domestic slaves used for the mistress of a plantation.「Ole Miss」这一别称最早出现于 1897 年，是当年校刊征集名称的竞赛获胜作品，两年内学生与校友即以之指称学校，该词一般被认为源自旧时奴隶对 种植园女主人的称呼。
• Between 1900 and 1930 the Mississippi Legislature repeatedly introduced bills to relocate, close or merge the university with Mississippi State University and every one failed, and in the 1930s Governor Theodore G. Bilbo dismissed administrators and faculty in the Bilbo purge, damaging the university's standing so badly that it temporarily lost its accreditation.1900 至 1930 年间，密西西比州议会多次提出迁移、关闭或将该校与密西西比州立大学合并的议案，均告失败，1930 年代州长西奥多·G·毕尔博在「毕尔博清洗」中解职多名行政人员与教职人员，使学校声誉受损并一度失去认证资格。
• The 1944 amendment to the Constitution of Mississippi placed the board of trustees beyond political pressure, and during the Second World War the university was one of 131 institutions that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which offered students a route to a commission in the navy.1944 年密西西比州宪法修正案将董事会置于政治压力之外，第二次世界大战期间该校是 131 所参加 V-12 海军学院训练计划的院校之一，该计划为学生提供了进入海军军官队伍的道路。
• After the Supreme Court ruled racial segregation unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, every attempt by Black applicants to enrol over the following eight years failed, and James Meredith, an African American air force veteran, applied shortly after the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961.1954 年最高法院在「布朗诉教育委员会案」中裁定种族隔离违宪，此后八年间黑人申请者的入学尝试全部失败，1961 年约翰·F·肯尼迪总统就职后不久，非裔美国空军退伍军人詹姆斯·梅雷迪思提出入学申请。
• On 30 September 1962 President Kennedy dispatched 127 US marshals, 316 deputised border patrol agents and 97 federalised prison personnel to escort Meredith onto the campus, segregationist students and outside agitators then attacked the marshals, 160 of them were injured, and two civilians, the French journalist Paul Guihard and the repairman Ray Gunter, were killed by gunfire.1962 年 9 月 30 日，肯尼迪总统派出 127 名联邦法警、316 名临时授权的边境巡逻队员与 97 名联邦化的联邦监狱人员护送梅雷迪思进入校园，随后隔离主义学生与外来煽动者袭击法警，160 名法警受伤，法国记者保罗·吉哈尔与修缮工雷·冈特两名平民中枪身亡。
• More than 30,000 troops and federal personnel were deployed to Oxford, the largest response to a single disturbance in American history, and Meredith enrolled and attended class on 1 October 1962, after which the black student population numbered about 100 by 1968 and 12.5 per cent of the student body in the 2019-2020 academic year.为应对此次事件，联邦方面向牛津调集了三万多名军警与联邦人员，是美国历史上单一骚乱事件中最多的兵力部署，梅雷迪思于 1962 年 10 月 1 日注册并上课，1968 年校内黑人学生约 100 人，至 2019-2020 学年占学生总数的 12.5%。
• The university bought Rowan Oak, the home of William Faulkner, in 1972 and preserves it as it stood at his death in 1962, Faulkner had served as university postmaster in the early 1920s and written As I Lay Dying there in 1930, his Nobel Prize medallion is displayed in the university library, and the first Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference was held in 1974.该校于 1972 年购入威廉·福克纳的故居罗文橡树并按其 1962 年辞世时的原样保存，福克纳在 1920 年代初曾任校内邮局局长并于 1930 年在此写出《我弥留之际》，他的诺贝尔奖章陈列在校图书馆内，首届「福克纳与约克纳帕沃法」会议于 1974 年举行。
• The university marked the fortieth anniversary of integration in 2002 with an oral history, symposia, a memorial and a reunion of the federal marshals who had served on campus, dedicated a statue of Meredith in 2006, saw the site of the 1962 riot designated a National Historic Landmark in 2008, and hosted the first presidential debate ever held in Mississippi in 2008 between John McCain and Barack Obama.该校 2002 年以口述史、研讨会、纪念设施与当年驻校联邦法警重聚活动纪念融合四十周年，2006 年为梅雷迪思立像，2008 年 1962 年骚乱遗址被列为国家历史地标，同年该校举办了密西西比州历史上首场总统候选人辩论，对阵双方为约翰·麦凯恩与贝拉克·奥巴马。
• The university retired the Confederate mascot Colonel Reb in 2003, selected Rebel Black Bear in 2010 after a grass-roots campaign for the Star Wars character Admiral Ackbar, replaced it with Tony the Landshark in 2017, removed the state flag containing the Confederate battle emblem in 2015, and relocated a prominent Confederate monument in 2020.该校 2003 年停用带有南方联盟色彩的吉祥物 Colonel Reb，2010 年在民间推动选用《星球大战》反派阵营海军大将这一角色的倡议之后确定 Rebel Black Bear，2017 年又改用「Tony the Landshark」，2015 年移除含南方联盟战徽的州旗，2020 年迁移了一座醒目的南方联盟纪念碑。
• In 1980 the writer Willie Morris became the university's first writer in residence, and the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference it hosts has run since 1974, making Oxford one of the recognised literary centres of the United States.1980 年作家威利·莫里斯成为该校首位驻校作家，该校自 1974 年起举办的「福克纳与约克纳帕沃法」会议使牛津成为美国公认的文学中心之一。
• The school of medicine was established on the Oxford campus in 1903 with only two years of medical study, and in 1955 the University of Mississippi Medical Center was founded on a site in Jackson to which the medical school relocated, a nursing school following in 1956 and further health-related schools added since.医学院于 1903 年在牛津校区设立，当时仅提供两年的医学课程，1955 年密西西比大学医学中心在杰克逊选址成立，医学院随之迁入，护理学院于 1956 年设立，其后陆续增设其他健康科学学院。
• In 1963 surgeons at the medical centre led by James Hardy performed the first human lung transplant and in 1964 the first animal-to-human heart transplant, using the heart of a chimpanzee because Hardy had spent the previous nine years researching transplantation in primates.1963 年，在詹姆斯·哈迪领导的手术团队操作下，医学中心完成世界首例人体肺移植，1964 年又完成世界首例动物心脏移植人体手术，所用器官取自一只黑猩猩，此前九年哈迪一直在灵长类身上研究移植技术。
• Since 1968 the school of pharmacy has operated the only legal marijuana production facility in the United States, under contract with the National Institute on Drug Abuse, supplying material for approved research and for the seven patients grandfathered into the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, and in 2018 the university spent 137 million dollars on research and development.自 1968 年起，药学院经营着美国唯一合法的工业大麻生产设施，受美国国家滥用药物研究所委托，为已获批准的研究以及同情性调查性新药计划项下的七名存量病人提供原料，2018 年该校科研支出为 1.37 亿美元。
