University of Nevada, Reno

The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR, also called the University of Nevada or simply Nevada) is a public land-grant research university in Reno, Nevada, United States, and the flagship institution of the Nevada System of Higher Education. It was founded on 12 October 1874 in Elko and moved to Reno in 1885, and it retains the name University of Nevada inside the body of the university.内华达大学雷诺分校（英文校名由 University of Nevada 与城市名 Reno 以逗号连接，简称 UNR，亦称内华达大学）是一所公立赠地研究型大学，位于美国内华达州雷诺市，是内华达高等教育系统的旗舰院校。该校 1874 年 10 月 12 日创建于埃尔科，1885 年迁至雷诺；校名中的「内华达大学」在校内机构体系中至今沿用。

It grew out of the enabling language of the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862, was moved from Elko because enrolment there never exceeded thirty-five students, and today has thirteen colleges and schools, more than 560 academic programmes and a Carnegie R1 research classification, and it is placed in the 1001-1200 band of the QS World University Rankings 2027.该校的设立依据是 1862 年《莫里尔赠地法案》的授权条款，因埃尔科校区注册人数从未超过 35 人而迁址；如今学校下设 13 个学院与学部、开设 560 余个学术项目，并获卡内基R1 研究型大学认定，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中位列 1001-1200 区间。

Research and Innovation figures for the university show 195.5 million dollars of expenditure in fiscal year 2025, a statewide economic impact of 2.2 billion dollars a year, and, on OpenAlex, 53,028 works and 3,166,430 citations, which places it in the 501-600 band of the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities 2026.学校公布的科研数据为：2025 财年科研支出1.955 亿美元，每年对全州经济的贡献达 22 亿美元；OpenAlex 收录其研究成果 53,028篇、引用 3,166,430 次；该校在 2026 年软科世界大学学术排名中位列 501-600 区间。

History

• The Constitution of the State of Nevada adopted in 1864 called for the creation of a state university offering instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts and mining, so that the state could take advantage of the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 signed by President Abraham Lincoln.内华达州 1864 年通过的州宪法要求设立一所教授农业、机械工艺与采矿的州立大学，以使该州能够享用由亚伯拉罕·林肯总统签署的 1862 年《莫里尔赠地法案》所规定的权益。
• The State University of Nevada was created on 12 October 1874 in Elko, when the governor Lewis R. Bradley and the legislature decided that the mechanical art the new institution should teach would be mining, and it opened that October with seven students and a bell that is now kept at Elko High School.1874 年 10 月 12 日，内华达州州立大学在埃尔科成立；当时州长刘易斯·布拉德利与州议会商定，新机构所要教授的机械工艺确定为采矿。学校于当年 10 月开学，最初只有 7 名学生，配有一口铜铃，该铃如今陈列于埃尔科高中。
• Because enrolment in Elko never exceeded thirty-five students and many families then sent their children to universities in California, the Board of Regents transferred the university from Elko to Reno in 1885-1886, where it opened its first building, Morrill Hall, in spring 1886 with thirty-five students.由于埃尔科校区注册人数从未超过 35 人，而当时许多家庭把孩子送到加州的大学就读，校董会于 1885 至 1886 年把学校从埃尔科迁至雷诺；1886 年春季，首座建筑莫里尔楼在此启用，首批学生 35 人。
• Local rancher John Newton "Newt" Evans sold the land for the university at a site north of Reno for 1,250 dollars, and Morrill Hall was named after Senator Justin Morrill, whose 1862 act provided the money that sustained the institution, while mining hall of 1889 was its second permanent structure.当地牧场主约翰·牛顿·「内特」·埃文斯以 1,250 美元把雷诺以北的一块地皮售予学校；莫里尔楼以参议员贾斯汀·莫里尔命名，正是他 1862 年的法案为学校提供了资金，而 1889 年建成的矿业楼是校园第二座永久建筑。
• The institution was renamed the Nevada State University in 1881 and the University of Nevada in 1906, and by 1900 the Reno campus already counted eleven buildings, two dormitories and a gymnasium, though enrolment did not pass one thousand until 1936 when the population of Nevada was about 100,000.该校 1881 年更名为内华达州立大学，1906 年更名为内华达大学；到1900 年，雷诺校区已有 11 座建筑、两栋宿舍与一座体育馆，但直到 1936 年注册人数才突破一千，而当时内华达州人口仅约 10 万。
• One of the most influential early faculty members was Dr James Church, who arrived in 1892 as a professor of classics and stayed until his death in 1960. Beginning in 1905 he led systematic meteorological tests and snow surveys on Mount Rose, and his Mount Rose snow sampler became a standard instrument still used today.早期影响力最大的教师之一是詹姆斯·丘奇（James Church）博士，他于 1892 年以古典学教授身份到校，一直工作到 1960 年去世。1905 年起他在罗斯山主持系统的气象观测与雪情调查，他发明的「罗斯山雪量取样器」成为至今仍在使用的标准仪器。
• Clarence Mackay, acting on the wishes of his father John Mackay, supported the struggling Nevada State University for thirty years with a redesign of the campus, a new science hall, faculty salaries, athletic facilities, the first Mackay Stadium and the Mackay School of Mines, whose statue was made by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore.克拉伦斯·麦凯（Clarence Mackay）秉承其父约翰·麦凯的意愿，连续三十年扶持陷入困境的内华达州立大学，资助校园改造、新科学楼、教职员工薪资、体育设施、第一座麦凯体育场以及麦凯矿业学院；学院内的约翰·麦凯雕像由拉什莫尔山雕塑作者古茨农·博格勒姆制作。
• The Mackay School of Mines was dedicated on 10 June 1908 before ten thousand people, and inside its building since 1908 has been the W. M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum, which holds the Mackay silver collection made by Tiffany & Co. in 1878 and samples from the Comstock Lode, Tonopah and Goldfield districts.麦凯矿业学院于 1908 年 6 月 10 日在一万名前来者面前落成；自 1908 年起，其楼内一直设有W. M. 凯克地球科学与矿物工程博物馆，馆藏包括蒂芙尼公司 1878 年为约翰·麦凯制作的银器收藏，以及来自康斯托克矿脉、托诺帕与戈德菲尔德矿区的矿石标本。
• The Nevada Seismological Laboratory, established in 1910, is the oldest university laboratory in the state and tracked the magnitude 7.3 earthquake of 1915 near Pleasant Valley, after which the university established a permanent seismic network in western Nevada in 1962.内华达地震实验室创立于 1910 年，是该州最古老的大学实验室；它记录了 1915 年普莱森特谷附近 7.3 级地震，1962 年学校据此在西内华达建成永久地震监测网。
• The university remained the only four-year institution in Nevada until 1954, when the Board of Regents founded the Southern Regional Division of the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, which began classes in a former high school and became the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1969.在1954 年校董会于拉斯维加斯设立内华达大学南部地区分部之前，该校一直是内华达州唯一的四年制院校；拉斯维加斯分校最初在一所旧高中上课，1969 年成为内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校。
• Under pressure from the southern counties, the legislature named the southern campus Nevada Southern University in 1965, it won autonomy within the University of Nevada System in 1968, and in 1969 the regents renamed the Reno institution the University of Nevada, Reno so that the two universities could share the Nevada name.在南部各县的推动下，州议会于 1965 年把南部校区命名为内华达南州立大学；1968 年该校在内华达大学系统内获得自治地位；1969 年校董会为使两所大学共用「内华达」之名，把雷诺的机构更名为内华达大学雷诺分校。
• The Desert Research Institute, which had been a research division of the university since 1959, and the community college division became separate units of the University of Nevada System in 1968, and the system was later renamed the University and Community College System of Nevada and then the Nevada System of Higher Education in 2004.自 1959 年起作为该校研究部门的沙漠研究所，以及社区学院分部，于 1968 年成为内华达大学系统的独立单元；该系统后更名为内华达大学与社区学院系统，再于 2004 年改称内华达高等教育系统。

• The university opened its medical school in 1969 and its School of Public Health followed, so that the health sciences moved to the centre of its academic portfolio, while the Nevada State Technical College and the community colleges of the system were also coordinated through the same period, and a graduate school had operated since the 1920s.该校于 1969 年开办医学院，随后设立公共卫生学院，健康科学由此成为其学术组合的核心；同期内华达州技术学院与系统内各社区学院也在该体系下协调运行。
• The university chose between a move to Carson City and a move to Reno in 1885, and the proposal for Carson City lost by a single vote, which is why the campus stands on a bluff above the Truckee Meadows rather than in the state capital.1885 年该校在迁往卡森城与迁往雷诺之间做过选择，迁往卡森城的提案以一票之差落败，这正是校园最终落在特鲁基河谷上方台地而非州府所在地的原因。
• In 2021 the university signed an agreement with the Lake Tahoe campus of Sierra Nevada University, and in 2022 it acquired the physical assets of that institution in Incline Village, creating the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe, which opened its own nursing programme in the autumn of 2026.2021 年该校与太浩湖校区所在的塞拉内华达大学签署合作协议，2022 年又收购了位于英克莱因维尔的该校实体资产，由此组建内华达大学雷诺分校太浩湖校区，并于 2026 年秋季开办了自己的护理专业。
• The university was designated an R1 institution for very high research activity in 2019, one of only 130 universities so classified at the time, and it retained the designation in the 2021 and 2025 Carnegie classification updates, while in 2020 it was named one of only 119 institutions with the Carnegie classification for community engagement.2019 年该校获认定为「科研活跃度极高」的 R1 机构，当时全国仅 130 所大学获此认定，并在 2021 与 2025 年的卡内基分类更新中保持该认定；2020 年它又被列为仅有 119 所获卡内基社区参与分类的机构之一。
