University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, known as Nebraska, NU or UNL, is a public land-grant research university in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the United States, chartered in 1869 by the Nebraska Legislature as part of the Morrill Act of 1862 and classified among R1 doctoral universities with very high research activity.内布拉斯加大学林肯分校（简称 Nebraska、NU 或 UNL）是美国内布拉斯加州林肯市的一所公立「土地拨赠」研究型大学，1869 年由州议会依 1862 年《莫里尔法》特许设立，被归入 R1 级「博士大学——极高研究活动」类别。

It was simply the University of Nebraska until 1968, when it absorbed the Municipal University of Omaha to form the University of Nebraska system, and it remains the oldest university in the state and the flagship institution of that state-wide system.该校在 1968 年之前一直名为「内布拉斯加大学」，该年它合并奥马哈市立大学而组成内布拉斯加大学系统，至今仍是全州最古老的高校与该系统的旗舰校。

Nine colleges offer more than two hundred degree programs on three campuses covering 2,815 acres, the enrollment in 2021 stood at 19,552 undergraduates and 4,879 graduate students, and the QS World University Rankings 2027 place the university in the 801-850 band.全校设九个学院，在三个校区共 2,815 英亩的土地上开出 200 余个学位项目，2021 年注册本科生 19,552 人、研究生 4,879 人，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中列第 801-850 位。

History

• The University of Nebraska was created by an act of the Nebraska Legislature in 1869, two years after Nebraska had been admitted into the Union as the thirty-seventh state, under a law that promised the inhabitants a thorough knowledge of literature, science and the arts while an initial federal land grant of about 130,000 acres came through the Morrill Act of 1862.内布拉斯加大学依 1869 年内布拉斯加州议会立法创设，此时距该州作为第 37 州加入联邦仅两年；法案把办学宗旨定为使州民通晓文学、科学与艺术各部门，学校并依 1862 年《莫里尔法》获得约 13 万英亩的初始联邦拨地。

• Public opinion on the new school was split, many arguing that a state without a state-wide high school system needed no university and others that any public university should be church-controlled, yet campus construction began in September 1869 when the cornerstone of University Hall was laid at the corner of 11th and S Streets, a large and ornate building of low-quality materials that required a foundation repair before hosting a single class.社会对新建学校意见分裂，有人认为连全州高中体系都没有的州并不需要大学，另有人主张公立大学应由教会主持；尽管如此，校园建设仍于 1869 年 9 月开工，大学堂基石在第 11 街与 S 街拐角安放，这座宏丽建筑用料低劣，在开设第一课之前即须修补基础。

• By 1871 the university welcomed an inaugural class of twenty collegiate and 110 preparatory students, offered its first degrees in 1873, founded a newspaper then called the Monthly Hesperian Student, and opened its state museum inside University Hall.到 1871 年首批学生入学，含 20 名本科与 110 名预科生，1873 年授予首批学位，同时创办前身为《Monthly Hesperian Student》的校报，并在大学堂内开设州博物馆。

• Growth was slowed by a mid-1870s grasshopper swarm that devastated the state economy and caused the first chancellor, Allen R. Benton, to resign, and his successor Edmund Burke Fairfield then led a contentious tenure marked by clashes over the place of religion in higher education.早期的增长被 1870 年代中期的蝗灾拖慢，这场灾害重创州经济，也令首任校长艾伦·R·本顿去职；其继任者埃德蒙·伯克·费尔菲尔德任内争议不断，焦点是宗教在高等教育中的地位。

• Under Fairfield the board of regents deliberately hired the university's first female faculty member, Ellen Smith, for whom Smith Hall, erected on campus in 1967, is named, hoping by a comparatively diverse group of students and teachers to raise both enrollment and the population of Lincoln.费尔菲尔德任内校务委员会刻意聘入首位女性教员埃伦·史密斯，1967 年校园建成学生公寓史密斯堂即以其姓命名；委员会希望通过相对多元的师生构成，同时提高注册人数与林肯市人口。

• Not until James Hulme Canfield became chancellor in 1891 were significant upgrades made, and he oversaw the remodeling of many buildings including University Library of 1895, still the oldest building on campus, crossed the state to encourage students of every background, and resigned in July 1895 for his native Ohio with enrollment nearly quadrupled, his departure soon followed by the establishment of the College of Law and a school of agriculture.直到 1891 年詹姆斯·休姆·坎菲尔德出任校长才有大规模基建更新，他督办多栋建筑改造，包括 1895 年落成、至今仍为校园最老建筑的大学图书馆；他走遍全州鼓励各类背景者就读，1895 年 7 月返回俄亥俄故乡卸任时注册人数已接近增至四倍，其离任后不久学校即设立法学院与农学院。

• Nebraska's football program played its first game in 1890 but had no full-time head coach until Frank Crawford was hired in 1894, and the nickname Cornhuskers, first used in print by the Nebraska State Journal writer Cy Sherman in 1899, was adopted officially the following year.校橄榄球队 1890 年首赛，至 1894 年聘弗兰克·克劳福德才有全职主教练；「玉米收割者」这一绰号由《Nebraska State Journal》记者赛·谢尔曼于 1899 年见诸报端，次年正式采用。

• The hiring of Brown University president Elisha Andrews was credited with much new growth, since under him Nebraska became the fifth-largest public university in the United States, nine buildings were constructed including Nebraska Field, and a 1904 gift from John D. Rockefeller paid for The Temple.校方聘入布朗大学校长伊莱沙·安德鲁斯被视为增长关键：任内学校跃升为全国第五大公立大学，新建含内布拉斯加球场在内的九栋建筑，1904 年约翰·D·洛克菲勒的捐款建成了「圣殿」。

• After Andrews retired on health grounds a fierce debate followed over keeping the university downtown or moving it out of town, and chancellor Samuel Avery favored relocation so that students would be less likely to visit Lincoln or nearby Havelock, until a statewide vote settled the argument in favor of the original location, with funding prioritized for additional buildings on the Farm Campus, the agricultural land east of town that later became East Campus.安德鲁斯因病退休后，校内就大学应留市中心还是迁出城外激烈争论，校长塞缪尔·埃弗里主张外迁，理由是学生可少往林肯市区与邻近的哈夫洛克；全州公投最终决定留在原地，经费优先投向城东农用校园的新建筑，那片农地后来改称东校区。

• When the United States joined World War I in April 1917, students of the extensive Reserve Officers' Training Corps program were called into service, that corps having been led in the 1890s by John J. Pershing, and while Avery served in the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service the board of regents conducted loyalty trials against twelve faculty members accused of anti-American sentiment, all of whom were exonerated of criminal activity although a few resigned.1917 年 4 月美国参加第一次世界大战，校内庞大的后备军官训练团学生应召入伍，该团在 1890 年代曾由约翰·J·潘兴率领；埃弗里因化学专长被召入华盛顿的美国化学战务部门，其离任期间校务委员会对 12 名被指反美情绪的教员进行「忠诚审判」，众人刑事指控均获澄清，但少数人仍被迫辞职。

• Nebraska Field of 1909 was built of wood with limited seating, so by the early 1920s momentum gathered for a steel-and-concrete stadium conceived as a gymnasium, stadium and war museum called the Nebraska Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, and when the fundraising target of 450,000 dollars was met ground was broken on April 23, 1923 and the 31,000-seat stadium was finished in just over ninety days in time for a 24-0 win over Oklahoma on October 13, its memorial dedication later extended to Nebraskans lost in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.1909 年建成的内布拉斯加球场为木质且容量有限，故到 1920 年代初兴建钢筋混凝土球场的呼声已起，最初设想是兼具体育馆、球场与战争博物馆的「士兵水兵纪念堂」；募款达到 45 万美元目标后，1923 年 4 月 23 日破土动工，可容 3.1 万人的球场仅用九十余天建成，赶上古 10 月 13 日以 24 比 0 胜俄克拉何马的首个主场，纪念对象后来扩及二战、朝鲜战争与越南战争中牺牲的本州人。

• Avery retired in 1928 and dean of agriculture Edgar A. Burnett became chancellor, only to see the Depression force a five-percent cut in maintenance and a ten-percent cut in all faculty salaries by 1932 and a legislative threat of a further reduction above twenty percent in 1933, so the University of Nebraska Foundation was established in 1937 as the primary fundraising arm and Burnett, distrusted by faculty despite taking a salary cut himself, resigned in 1938, the year the first student union opened at 14th and R Streets.埃弗里 1928 年退休，农学院院长埃德加·A·伯内特接任校长，却在大萧条中于 1932 年被迫削减维护费 5%、教职薪资 10%，1933 年州议会更一度提议再全面裁减两成以上；因州经费枯竭，1937 年设立内布拉斯加大学基金会作为学校主要募款机构，伯内特虽自减薪资仍不为教员信任，1938 年去职，同年第一座学生活动中心在第 14 街与 R 街口落成。

• His replacement, West Virginia University president Chauncey Samuel Boucher, instituted the first admission standards as failing students multiplied, then offered vacant buildings to the United States Army once war began, more than 13,000 soldiers taking language, medical or engineering training before the program closed in 1944.继任者为西弗吉尼亚大学校长昌西·塞缪尔·布彻，他因不及格学生增多而首定入学标准，开战后把空校舍交美军使用，逾 1.3 万名士兵在此接受语言、医学或工程训练，该计划于 1944 年停办。

• Love Library, which had served as a barracks, opened in 1945, and after the war the influx of veterans under the G.I. Bill, older and often married, produced a shortage of parking that culminated in a student riot in 1948, while chancellor Reuben Gustavson proved crucial to the integration of campus dormitories and to the planning of the school's medical center, now the separate University of Nebraska Medical Center.曾作营房的洛夫图书馆于 1945 年开馆；战后《军人权利法》带来年长且多已婚的退伍军人涌入，校园停车不足终于在 1948 年引发学生骚动；校长鲁本·古斯塔夫森在宿舍取消隔离、以及筹划该校医学中心（今已独立为内布拉斯加大学医学中心）两事上起到关键作用。

• By the mid-1950s enrollment surpassed 18,000, nearly triple its pre-war level, new dormitories were built, and the Nebraska Center for Continuing Education, now Hardin Hall, was established on the Farm Campus, which was renamed East Campus in 1964 because it also housed law, dentistry and a center for hearing and speech disorders.到 1950 年代中期注册人数逾 1.8 万，约为战前三倍，新宿舍陆续建成，续教育中心（今哈丁堂）设于农地校园；因该院区另设法学院、牙医学院与听说障碍中心，1964 年改称东校区。

• Clifford M. Hardin, dean of agriculture at the University of Chicago, was chosen as the twelfth chancellor at thirty-eight, the youngest university president in the country, and he prioritized making Nebraska a national football power, recruiting Bob Devaney from Wyoming on the advice of Michigan State University coach Duffy Daugherty. Over the next forty years Devaney and his successor Tom Osborne created one of college football's great dynasties with five national championships between them, while Hardin moved the university into state-wide governance, becoming first chancellor of the new system in 1968 before leaving to be United States Secretary of Agriculture under Richard Nixon.曾任芝加哥大学农学院院长、38 岁的克利福德·M·哈丁被选为第 12 任校长，为当时全国最年轻的大学校长；他把重塑橄榄球强权列为要务，依密歇根州立大学教练达菲·多赫蒂的建议从怀俄明聘入鲍勃·德瓦尼。此后 40 年间，德瓦尼与继任者汤姆·奥斯本共建大学橄榄球王朝，两人合计夺得五个全美冠军；哈丁则推动全州治理，1968 年出任新体系首任校长，随后离任就任尼克松政府的农业部长。

• The Municipal University of Omaha had become run-down and inadequately funded, so the Nebraska Legislature merged it with the larger university to create a state-wide system, separating the Omaha medical center from Lincoln and placing it under the new system's direction.奥马哈市立大学年久失修、经费不足，州议会遂将其并入规模更大的内布拉斯加大学以组建全州体系，奥马哈的医学中心自此与林肯分离，改由新体系管辖。

• Joseph Soshnik, Hardin's longtime colleague, was appointed to run the institution now named the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and his tenure began amid the turmoil of the Vietnam War years, including a student takeover of the ROTC building on May 4, 1970 by a crowd of nearly two thousand gathered after the Kent State shootings, while the administration negotiated with student leaders so that no demonstration became violent or required National Guard intervention, an outcome later credited to Soshnik and to the anti-war professor Paul Olson. Nebraska won its second consecutive national football title in 1972 by beating archrival Oklahoma 35-31 in a match dubbed The Game of the Century, President Richard Nixon having visited Lincoln in January 1971 to honor the championship team amid minor protests.哈丁的长期同事约瑟夫·索什尼克被委以执掌改名后的内布拉斯加大学林肯分校，其任期始于越战风潮之中，包括 1970 年 5 月 4 日近两千人在肯特州立大学枪击案后集会并占领后备军官训练团大楼；校方以与学生领袖协商回应抗议，因此该校的越战示威无一转为暴力，也无须国民警卫队介入，后人把这一结果归于索什尼克与反战教授保罗·奥尔森。1972 年学校蝉联全美橄榄球冠军，以 35 比 31 胜宿敌俄克拉何马，此役被称为「世纪之战」，尼克松总统则于 1971 年 1 月到林肯表彰冠军队，其间有小型抗议。

• Large projects marked the later 1980s, a recreation center attached to the Nebraska Coliseum being funded by the University of Nebraska Foundation, its construction beginning in 1987 and its third and final phase finishing in 1992, while the school's first computer lab opened in 1985 in the Selleck Quadrangle, an honors program of those years was later expanded into the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management, and the eight-million-dollar Lied Center for Performing Arts was completed in 1990.1980 年代后期多项工程落成：由大学基金会出资、附设于体育馆旁的学生活动中心 1987 年开工、第三期于 1992 年完工，校内第一间计算机房则于 1985 年在塞莱克四方院启用；该时期设立的荣誉项目其后扩展为杰弗里·S·雷克斯计算机科学与管理学院，造价 800 万美元的利德表演艺术中心则于 1990 年竣工。

• When Martin Massengale became president of the university system in 1991, the board named Oregon State University provost Graham Spanier as his successor, and Spanier resolved a six-million-dollar budget shortfall while raising admission standards, hired Bill Byrne as athletic director in 1992 against Tom Osborne's wishes, yet Osborne's teams compiled 45-4 across four seasons and won two national championships, a third following in 1997 before Osborne retired and named Frank Solich his replacement.1991 年马丁·马森盖尔转任大学系统校长，委员会任命俄勒冈州立大学教务长格雷厄姆·斯帕尼尔接掌分校；斯帕尼尔解决了 600 万美元预算缺口并提高入学标准，1992 年不顾奥斯本意愿聘入比尔·伯恩任体育总监，然而奥斯本的球队四个赛季取得 45 胜 4 负并两夺全美冠军，1997 年第三冠后他退休并以弗兰克·索利奇为继任。

• In November 2008 the state voted to move the Nebraska State Fair from Lincoln, where it had been held since 1950, to Grand Island, and the 249-acre site was turned over to the university, which began constructing the Nebraska Innovation Campus there in 2012. Nebraska announced on June 11, 2010 that it would leave the Big 12 Conference and join the Big Ten, its first major conference change since entering the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1921, and it was removed from the Association of American Universities in 2011 after membership since 1908.2008 年 11 月全州表决把自 1950 年即在林肯举办的州博览会迁往格兰德艾兰，249 英亩原址移交大学，校方于 2012 年在此启动内布拉斯加创新校园的建设；2010 年 6 月 11 日学校宣布退出大十二联盟、加入十大联盟，这是自 1921 年加入密苏里河谷校际体育协会以来首次重大联盟变动；2011 年它被美国大学协会除名，而其入会年份本是 1908 年。

• Chancellor Harvey Perlman, in office sixteen years, oversaw research expenditures reaching 284 million dollars, an all-time high, and enrollment rising by more than ten percent, but he fired four football head coaches and two athletic directors and retired in 2016 to teach again at the College of Law.校长哈维·珀尔曼在任 16 年，研究支出升至 2.84 亿美元的历史高点、注册人数增长逾一成，但他解聘 4 位橄榄球主教练与 2 位体育总监，2016 年卸任回到法学院任教。

• Ronnie D. Green was named Perlman's successor and retired on June 30, 2023, Rodney D. Bennett assumed the chancellorship on July 1, 2023, and in November 2025 the regents approved consolidating the University of Nebraska Medical Center into the Lincoln university as an in-name-only campus, after which Bennett resigned in January 2026, six months before his three-year contract expired, following a vote of no confidence by the Nebraska Faculty Senate, and Katherine Ankerson, an executive vice chancellor who had retired in 2024, was named interim chancellor.罗尼·D·格林接任珀尔曼后于 2023 年 6 月 30 日退休，罗德尼·D·贝内特 2023 年 7 月 1 日出任校长；2025 年 11 月校务委员会批准把内布拉斯加大学医学中心并入林肯本校、成为仅存名义的校区，贝内特随后在三年任期届满前半年于 2026 年 1 月辞去校长，此前州教授会通过对他的不信任表决；2024 年退休的常务副校长凯瑟琳·安克森被任命为代理校长。

• The office of chancellor was created in 1871, shortly after the school opened, to oversee the development of the young university, and Samuel Avery was the longest-tenured of the twenty-one full-time holders of the post.校长一职设于 1871 年，即开学后不久，专责督导新建学校的发展；塞缪尔·埃弗里是历任 21 位全职校长中任期最长者。

• The original campus was laid out on four city blocks in the north-east corner of planned downtown Lincoln and for fifteen years consisted of one building, the four-storey University Hall, the school using its last allotment of original land to raise the Law College Building in 1911. City Campus first expanded in 1908 when land to the west was bought for Nebraska Field, and because the surrounding area had developed, Memorial Stadium of 1923 had to be oriented east to west instead of north to south, while high-rise dormitories followed on land bought from the Missouri Pacific Railroad after World War II.最初校园设于规划中的林肯市中心东北角四个街区，十五年间仅有四层大学堂一栋建筑，学校把原始拨地的最后份额用于 1911 年建造法学馆；校区 1908 年首次向外扩张，购得西侧土地建内布拉斯加球场，因周边已成城区，1923 年的纪念球场只能按东西而非南北向布置，二战后校方又购置密苏里太平洋铁路地块兴建高层宿舍。

• City Campus holds the Lied Center for Performing Arts, used chiefly for orchestra concerts and theatre, and the nearby Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center, a two-screen cinema of arthouse, independent and documentary film, together with the Mueller Tower of 1949, and since 1928 it has been the headquarters of the National Society of Pershing Rifles, whose origin lies in the competitive drill team Company A that John J. Pershing created for the cadet corps in 1891 and which won the national drills in 1892 before taking his name.市中心校区有利德表演艺术中心，主要供交响音乐会与戏剧使用，附近有双影厅、专映艺术片与纪录片的玛丽·里普马·罗斯媒体艺术中心，以及 1949 年建成的缪勒塔；该校区自 1928 年起为潘兴步枪手全国协会总部，其源头是约翰·J·潘兴 1891 年为学员队组建的操练竞赛队 A 连，该连 1892 年获全国操练竞赛优胜后改用潘兴之名。

• The first student union, now the Nebraska Union, was built in 1938 at 14th and R Streets and renovated in 1958, 1969 and 1999, a further 40-million-dollar project approved in 2019 being delayed by the pandemic, and it houses the University Bookstore, the offices of the two student papers, the student government, Greek life and the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center.首座学生活动中心即今内布拉斯加学生会馆，1938 年建在第 14 街与 R 街口，1958、1969、1999 年三次扩建整修，2019 年批准的 4,000 万美元项目因疫情推迟；馆内有大学书店、两份学生报办公室、学生自治会、兄弟会组织与杰基·高安多元文化中心。

• East Campus began as 320 acres bought in 1874 because much of the land allotted to the school was unsuitable for farming, was long called the Farm, and is heavily landscaped, its grounds being administered as a botanical garden and arboretum responsible for the plantings at Cather Garden and Maxwell Arboretum.东校区源于 1874 年购置的 320 英亩土地，因最初拨地不宜耕作，长期被称为农用校园；如今园内绿地上由植物园与树木园管理，并承担凯瑟园与麦克斯韦树木园的栽植。

• A temporary union on that campus opened in 1947 with a performance by the student Johnny Carson, a permanent building followed thirty years later and was renovated for 28.5 million dollars by 2021, its Loft Gallery showing community and student work and its full-size bowling alley serving as the home venue of the university bowling team.该校区 1947 年先设临时活动中心，开幕演出由学生约翰尼·卡森担纲，三十年后建成永久馆舍，2021 年完成造价 2,850 万美元的整修；阁楼展厅用于师生与社区作品，全尺寸保龄球道即校保龄球队的主场。

• Nebraska Public Media, the successor of the university television network NETV founded in 1954, is headquartered on East Campus, where it once broadcast more than ninety hours of programming each week and schools and city councils raised money for three new transmitters.内布拉斯加公共媒体总部位于东校区，其前身是 1954 年创办的大学电视网 NETV，当年每周播出逾 90 小时节目，各校与市议会曾为其筹款购置三座新发射机。

• The third campus, Nebraska Innovation Campus, was established in 2014 on the 249-acre former state fair grounds, its plans including an 800-million-dollar expansion for agricultural biotechnology and life-science research, several historic fair buildings being repurposed, more than forty enterprises now resident, and the site being the only NU campus where alcohol is allowed, with the 35-million-dollar Scarlet Hotel opened there in 2022.第三校区内布拉斯加创新校园于 2014 年在 249 英亩的原州博览会场地上设立，规划含 8 亿美元的农业生物技术与生命科研扩建，数座博览老建筑被改作校用，现今入驻企业逾 40 家；该校区也是全校唯一允许饮酒之处，3,500 万美元的猩红酒店 2022 年在此开业。

• Its membership of the Association of American Universities, held since 1908, ended in 2011, a loss attributed to the weight of USDA-funded agricultural research in its profile and to the separation of its Omaha medical center, and all Big Ten schools were members when the conference expanded in 2010.该校自 1908 年起即为美国大学协会成员，2011 年被除名；原因被归于其农业部资助的农业研究占比过重、且医学中心已独立于奥马哈；2010 年联盟扩员时十大联盟各校均为该协会会员，故校长珀尔曼当时质疑本校若无会籍能否受邀。
