走進哈佛大學(xué)：哈佛學(xué)院

Founded in 1636 and set in New England, Harvard College is the oldest school at Harvard University. As Harvard began to grant higher degrees than bachelor，s degree in the late eighteenth century, people started to call it “Harvard University”.

哈佛學(xué)院位于新英格蘭，成立于1636年，是哈佛大學(xué)最古老的學(xué)院。18世紀(jì)晚期， 哈佛開始授予比學(xué)士更高的學(xué)位，于是人們開始稱其為“哈佛大學(xué)'。

“Harvard College” survived, nonetheless. At first, it only enrolled boys. Now, it enrolls both boys and girls. And It is the only undergraduate division of Harvard University.

不管怎樣“哈 佛學(xué)院”被保留了下來，起初只招收男生，現(xiàn)在則男女生都招收，是哈佛大學(xué)唯一的本科部。

It was said that Radcliffe College was the other school of Harvard granting undergraduate degrees. This saying is not totally correct, Radcliffe College used to be an independent college of Harvard. It was founded in 1879 as a women’s college. From 1879 to 1943, Harvard professors repeated to Radcliffe students the lectures they gave at Harvard. By 1943，the instruction of Radcliffe undergraduates had became a formal responsibility of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Then, in the 1960s the pace of integration quickened. Harvard degrees were awarded to Radcliffe students for the first time in 1963, and in the same year women are admitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. During this period, Radcliffe Col Lege could not be called a college of Harvard in the real sense, although its undergraduates were educated by Harvard faculty.

有人說拉德克利夫?qū)W院是哈佛大學(xué)里另一個可以授予本科學(xué)位的學(xué)院，這種說不完全正確。拉德克利夫?qū)W院曾經(jīng)是獨立于哈佛大學(xué)的一個女子學(xué)院，成立于 1879年。從1879年到1943年，哈佛教授 給哈佛學(xué)生和拉德克利夫的學(xué)生講授同樣的課。

到1943年，給拉德克利夫?qū)W院的本科 生上課成了哈佛文理學(xué)院的一項正式任務(wù)。接下來在20世紀(jì)60年代，兩校的合并速 度加快了。1963年哈佛學(xué)位第一次被授給拉德克利夫?qū)W院的學(xué)生，同一年哈佛文理學(xué) 院開始招收女生。在這一段時間里，拉德克利夫?qū)W院并不能算是一個真正意義上的哈 佛大學(xué)的學(xué)院，盡管拉德克利夫的學(xué)生是哈佛老師教的。

As the pace of integration quickened, however, Radcliffe College gradually lost its reputation as an undergraduate school. In 1977, Harvard and Radcliffe agreed that Radcliffe would delegate to Harvard all responsibility for undergraduate education of women and the management of undergraduate affairs. After the 1977 Agreement, Radcliffe College devoted increasing attention to development of research programs and cultivation of postgraduate programs, having turned over almost all responsibility for collegiate affairs to Harvard College.

但隨著合并速度的加快，拉德克利夫逐漸失去了本科學(xué)院這一聲譽。1977年哈佛 大學(xué)和拉德克利夫?qū)W院達成協(xié)議，拉德克利夫同意把所有本科生教育和本科生管理事 務(wù)都交給哈佛大學(xué)。這之后拉德克利夫?qū)W院開始把注意力轉(zhuǎn)向開發(fā)科研項目和研究生 培養(yǎng)項目上，幾乎把學(xué)院所有的責(zé)任都轉(zhuǎn)給了哈佛學(xué)院。

On September 14，1999，the governing bodies of Harvard and Radcliffe completed the merger of the two institutions. Harvard College assumed full responsibility for the education of undergraduate women. As a result of the merger, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study was established. Today, Raddiffe’s campus functions as the new research institute within Harvard, and former Radcliffe student housing has been incorporated as residential houses of Harvard College.

1999年9月14日哈佛和拉德克利夫的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)機構(gòu)完成了兩校的合并，哈佛學(xué)院承 擔(dān)了所有教育拉德克利夫?qū)W院女生的責(zé)任。合并之后，拉德克利夫高等研宄院成立了。 今天拉德克利夫校園的功能轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)楣鸫髮W(xué)里的一個新的研宄場所，拉德克利夫?qū)W院 的宿舍也被并入哈怫學(xué)院的住宿學(xué)園里。

Therefore, Harvard College is the only school in Harvard granting undergraduate degrees.

因此哈佛學(xué)院是哈佛大學(xué)里唯一可以授予本科學(xué)位的學(xué)院。
