一、校史简介
普林斯顿玒纽泽西州中部的小镇�早在西元一六九三即有欧陆移民来此定居�然至一七二 四年才将此地正式命名为普林斯顿(Princeton)。后因纽泽西学院迁徙来此,并改名为普林斯顿大学,此地方以大学城闻名於美并逐渐发展出 大学城特有的人文景观及小镇风格。

普林斯顿大学初名为纽泽西学院(theCollegeofNewJersey)於一七四六年设立於伊利沙白(Elizabeth)�是英格兰北美四大学院之一四学院依成立先后分别是哈佛、威廉玛利、 耶鲁及纽泽西学院)。一七四七年迁至纽渥克(Newark)�一七五六年方迁至普林斯顿而后於一八九六年正式将学校更名为普林斯顿大学(PrincetonUniversity)。

就如同其他英格兰在北美殖民地上的学校一般,普林斯顿保有浓厚的欧式教育学风。创立宗旨上强调训练学生具有人文及科学的综合素养。而最终的目的在透过其特有的教育方式, 以培养出本州及教会引以为荣的学者。这项传统及今仍是校方强调的重点�而彰显宗教的意味 已不复见。毕业校友秉承此一传统,在各行各界崭露头角�使普林斯顿盛名得以不坠。例如毕 业校友中有州长,有好莱坞明星。而最值得一提的是校友中有二位曾担任美国总统:他们是麦 迪逊总统(JamesMadison,1771)及威尔逊总统(WoodrowWilson,1879)。在学术方面也因 教学相长之故。历届诺贝尔物理奖得主中,就有八位是普大的教授�著名的相对论大师爱因斯坦 亦曾於此任教并从事高等研究。虽然欧式学风深深影响著普大但在英格兰殖民地上所点燃的独立战争也一度使普林斯顿成为战争要地。例如校园中目前作为行政大楼的拿莎堂(NassauHall)在独立战争中数度被独立盟军或英军作为军营及医院的据点。一七八三年十三州联合代表大会 (ContinentalCongress)於拿莎堂召开,盟军领袖华盛顿莅此致赠五十枚金币给普林斯顿大学,以表彰其在战争中的贡献。这种欧式殖民与独立战争的历史冲击使普大的学风更具传承与创新的双重风格。

这种历史传承与现代创新的风格更一览无遗地展现在二○○○英亩的校园建筑中。举凡哥德式的校舍殖民风格的英式建筑或者是当代名家的结构设计,皆是访者驻足的焦点,而使校园宛如一座活生生的建筑博物馆。参访之际亦不难寻到名中国建筑师贝聿铭先生精心设计的作品(SpelmanHall)。

二、系所介绍
普大大学部共设有六十三个系及各种系际合作的学习课程;研究所则设有五十多个系及三所 专业研究学院。研究所自一九○○年规模初定以来� 即著重人文、科学及工程等博士人才的培养。除了三所专业学院於博士学位之外另设有硕士学位外,其他各系除了近东及苏联研究和艺术考古音 乐学系偶授有硕士学位�其他各系皆一秉其培养理论人才的初衷,不授予硕士学位,这种倾向可能是台湾留学生人数在研究生总人数中不显著的原因之一。

虽然理论研究是普大的学风特色,但其仍於学用相辅的信念下创立科际整合的专业研究院。 一九一九年成立建筑学院(theSchoolofArchitecture) 强调硬体规画及建筑环境的设计。并期藉由政治、经济、社会、行为等学科的薰陶使设计理念能与当地居民及环境相结合。一九二一年另设立工程和应用科学学院(theSchoolof EngineeringandAppliedScience)�其下共设有五个系�分别是化工系(Chemical Engineering)、电机系(ElectricalEngineering)�土木工程和作业研究系(Civil Engineering&OperationResearch)�电脑科学系(ComputerScience) 以及机械航空工程系() ;最后成立的专业学院则是威尔逊公共和国际事务学院(theWoodrowWilsonSchoolof PublicandInternationalAffairs) �成立於一九三○年。玒为一政治经济和历史科际整合的培训计画,目的在培养具通才知识的公共行政和国际事务专业分析人才。

普大向以理论研究见长。纵使设有三专业学院,但仍於系际理论探讨的范畴之内,因此资本 主义就业カ场的专业学院--商学院、法学院、医学院�仍无法於此竞足一地。普大排除了三大扩充学校经费来源的招生机会�为其学术风格依 然保持理论倾向,并且使纯朴校风得以维持,这一特色是其他常春藤盟校或新近崛起的名校所无法向及的。

三、研究设备
研究设备及图书资料是普大另一值得称道之处。全校共有五百万以上的藏书�三百万的微缩 片(microfilms)�三万多种当代期刊及各项珍贵手稿及文献资料分别收藏於总图书馆 (FirestoneLibrary) 及其他廿二个专业性系院图书馆。葛斯德东方图书馆提供了此地东方学生慰解乡思的一个好去处馆藏中除了东亚各国古典及当代学术研究文献外另有古典及当代小说多册是课余之暇的好去处。

学校中电脑设备完整,小至个人电脑,大至各种电脑工作站及电脑网路一应俱全。并且可与 世界一千四百个大学及研究机构连线,使得资料的撷取及处理迅速正确。校园中另设有历史博物馆�馆藏以地中海、西欧、中国、美洲及拉丁美 洲地区的艺术及雕塑为主。此博物馆兼具研究、教学及典藏的功能。是学生开启知识宝殿的好去处。

普大另一校区法瑞斯特校区(JamesForrestalCampus) 是电浆物理及航太工程研究的所在�著重於高速、高温、高能、高压等基本现象之研究。理工学院学生可就此优越研究设备之便�从事更高深之研究。

四、校园近况
1995-96学年普林斯顿大学部约有学生四千六百人。研究生一千八百人,教师总数约有九百五十人左右;其中研究生并不担任讲课的任务。学生分别来自全美五十个州及世界六十三个国家。外籍研究生约占总研究生人数的百分之卅五。所有外籍学生中以中国大陆高居第一位,约为总外籍学生的五分之一。台湾留学生仅为全研究生的百分之二,占外籍研究生的百分之五。约与日本、韩国、英国之留学研究生人数相当。同居第四位来此之台湾留学生全为研究生,且以主修理工科为主。

普大年经费约为五亿三千万元,全由大机构或私人捐助�研究生中约百分之九十学生可获得 奖助学金的补助。研究生於无财力之虑下,可专致於学业及研究。一般博士学位取得约为七年左右。然近年来校方竭力促学生缩短取得博士学位的年限�目前平均约为五年六个月。普大因大学城之利且声誉宏伟,许多研究机构或公司纷纷设立於其附近或外围,以就近取才或从事建教合作诸如AT&T,Lucent贝尔验室(BellLab),Mobil,DavidSarnoffResearchCenter, NEC,Squibb及教育训练及测试中心(ETS) 等皆设立於此�一方面提供了知识及文化上的多样性�另一方面也创造了许多就业机会。根据一九八八~八九年校方针对博士毕业生所作的调 查研究显示�二百二十七位受访者中,有一百五十五位就业於学术研究部门,而五十八位则为非学术部门。就业率高达百分之九十四,足以显示普大学术声望之所在。

五、生活与休闲
普林斯顿虽为乡间小镇�但镇上仍不乏有各项艺文活动,除了音乐会及芭蕾舞表演外�也常有重大的演讲及展览,如前日本首相海部、美国总统柯林顿莅校演讲�吸引大多数媒体来此采访。同时普林斯顿居南北二大城中点北及纽约不过五十五哩南至费城亦仅四十五哩�交通便捷,因此居住於此,不仅享有城乡的安逸宁静,也可享受大都会购物休闲等文明之便。对於百老汇秀或艺文讯息的掌握乃轻而易举。

普林斯顿繁华之处莫过於其商业街(NassauStreet) 。风格独特,其建筑物大致与普大维持一致的风格。欧风浓厚,设计典雅,欧式精品服饰垂手可得。即使较低价位的日常用品也陈列於街上之商店中。只是你会发现平日庸俗展售的 Woolworth及BergerKing,在此都有他们独特 的风貌。漫步其街,没有拥挤没有喧哗,是购物上很大的享受。此外,吃中国菜,买东方食品,亦可在街上寻访一二�但如有闲情,亦可驱车至附近城镇选购。车程不过十~二十分钟。因此选有一部可以代步的汽车是此地留学生的生活,需要和享受。但绝非为必需。因为学校於夜间有免费的专车接送於宿舍及校园之间白天虽可以脚踏车或步行至街上选购,但冬日寒风刺骨雪地履冰,其恼人之苦,不可不虑。况且久居小镇�值留学之便至外地访友或增广见闻�是假期中最大的乐趣,是否有一部车就成为考虑的焦点 了。

由於普大台湾留学生人数并不多,因此同学间来往密切,连络方便,举凡迎新、送旧及年节 各项活动、聚会�出席率常高达九成以上。虽然人数少,但留学生的各项服务,亦办理齐全�如新生接机,凡与学会直接联络者,必可获致温馨的接抵小镇,平安及快乐地展开留学生涯。对於往后 环境的适应有很大的帮助。而且台湾同学已以中国研究生同学会(TheChineseGraate StudentAssoication)名义正式向校方提出登记 使得校方对这个人数不多但活动力旺盛的社团给予更多的关注。同时也使同学会有更多的机会参与校方合办的活动,促进学校对台湾留学生的重视。

普林斯顿虽是小镇,但丰富的史螺及学术盛誉,值得在留学生生涯中细心体会,慢慢摸索。 进入这座宝山,必可丰富你精神上、生活上及学业上的需要。�让你日后有咀嚼不完的故事及回忆!

六、备注
普大研究生年录取率约为七取一,其申请程序与一般大学无太大差异。大抵是TOFEL五百五十分以上,三封介绍信及个人自传、成绩、一般英文能力评估、专业GRE 视系别而定�有些系甚至要求附上个人作品。一般申请截止日期为一月上旬。有兴趣者可与下列地址或电话联络∶

㈨ 求普林斯顿大学简介,要英文版的,谢谢

Princeton University is a private research university located in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. The school is one of the eight universities of the Ivy League, and is one of the nine Colonial Colleges founded before the American Revolution.

Princeton provides undergraate and graate instruction in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering.Princeton does not offer professional schooling generally, but it does offer professional master's degrees (mostly through the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs) and doctoral programs.

Founded in 1746 at Elizabeth, New Jersey, as the College of New Jersey, it was moved to Newark in 1747, then to Princeton in 1756 and renamed Princeton University in 1896.(The present-day The College of New Jersey in nearby Ewing, New Jersey, is an unrelated institution.)

Princeton was the fourth institution of higher ecation in the U.S. to conct classes. The university, unlike most American universities that were founded at the same time, did not have an official religious affiliation. At one time, it had close ties to the Presbyterian Church, but today it is nonsectarian and makes no spiritual demands of its students.[The university has ties with the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the Westminster Choir College of Rider University.

History

New Light Presbyterians founded the College of New Jersey, later Princeton University, in 1746 in order to train ministers dedicated to their views. The college was the ecational and religious capital of Scotch-Irish America. In 1756, the college moved to Princeton, New Jersey.

Following the untimely deaths of its first five presidents, the college enjoyed a long period of stability ring 1768-94 under Reverend John Witherspoon. Military occupation and the Battle of Princeton severely damaged the college ring the war. In another disaster, fire destroyed Nassau Hall in March 1802. Student unrest led to an explosion at the Nassau Hall front door and several other incidents in 1814. Witherspoon was a prominent religious and political leader; and an original signer of the Declaration of independence and the Articles of Confederation.

Before the construction of Stanhope Hall in 1803, the college's sole building was Nassau Hall[11]. The college also adopted orange as its school color from William III. During the summer of 1783, the Continental Congress met in Nassau Hall, making Princeton the country's capital for four months. The much-abused landmark survived bombardment with cannonballs in the Revolutionary War when General Washington struggled to wrest the building from British control, as well as later fires in 1802 and 1855 that left only its walls standing. Rebuilt by Joseph Henry Latrobe, John Notman and John Witherspoon, the modern Nassau Hall has been much revised and expanded from the original one that was designed by Robert Smith. Over the centuries, its role shifted from an all-purpose building, comprising office, dormitory, library, and classroom space, to classroom space exclusively, to its present role as the administrative center of the university. Originally, the sculptures in front of the building were lions, as a gift in 1879. These were later replaced with tigers in 1911.

James McCosh took office as the college's president in 1868 and lifted the institution out of a low period that had been brought about by the Civil War. During his two decades of service, he overhauled the curriculum, oversaw an expansion of inquiry into the sciences, and supervised the addition of a number of buildings in the High Victorian Gothic style to the campus. McCosh Hall is named in his honor.

In 1896, the college officially changed its name from the College of New Jersey to Princeton University to honor the town in which it resides. During this year, the college also underwent large expansion and officially became a university. Under Woodrow Wilson, Princeton introced the preceptorial system in 1905, a then-unique concept that augmented the standard lecture method of teaching with a more personal form in which small groups of students, or precepts, could interact with a single instructor, or preceptor, in their field of interest.

In 1969, Princeton University first admitted women as undergraates. In 1887, the university had actually maintained and staffed a sister college, Evelyn College for Women, in the town of Princeton on Evelyn and Nassau streets. It was closed after roughly a decade of operation. Instead, Bryn Mawr College, a member of the Seven Sisters, was traditionally recognized as Princeton's sister school. After abortive discussions with Sarah Lawrence College to relocate the women's college to Princeton and merge it with the University in 1967, the administration decided to admit women and turned to the issue of transforming the school's operations and facilities into a female-friendly campus. The administration had barely finished these plans in April 1969 when the admission's office began mailing out its acceptance letters. Its five-year coecation plan provided $7.8 million for the development of new facilities that would eventually house and ecate 650 women students at Princeton by 1974. Ultimately, 148 women, consisting of 100 freshwomen and transfer students of other years, entered Princeton on September 6, 1969 amidst much media attention. (Princeton enrolled its first female graate student, Sabra Follett Meserve, as a Ph.D. candidate in Turkish history in 1961. A handful of undergraate women had studied at Princeton from 1963 on, spending their junior year there to study "critical languages" in which Princeton's offerings surpassed those of their home institutions. They were considered regular students for their year on campus, but were not candidates for a Princeton degree.)

As a result of a 1979 lawsuit by Sally Frank, Princeton's eating clubs were required to go coecational in 1991, after Tiger Inn's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied.
