      多倫多大學的歷史
      多倫多大學(University of Toronto)于1827年根據(jù)英國喬治四世頒布的皇家憲章所建立,是殖民時代上加拿大最早建立的高等學府之一。它早期名為“國王學院”,直至于1849年脫離圣公會而成為非宗教大學,并改為現(xiàn)名。受英國大學制度影響,多倫多大學是北美少數(shù)實行獨立書院制的學府,各書院享有高度自治權。
      多倫多大學三個校區(qū)所在的區(qū)域已經(jīng)有上千年人類活動歷史了。大約5000多年以前水面就已經(jīng)達到今日安大略湖的高度了。除了19世紀的填湖造田,主要的河流Rough,Don,Humber以及Credit都在源源不斷流入湖的北岸,昔日的湖岸線與今日所見相差無幾。
      最初探索湖岸的是如今First Nation的祖先們。他們靠打獵捕魚,采摘種植成品為生。然而他們經(jīng)常遷移以至于沒有很多的記載。大概1600年前,北岸生活的人們變得依賴于玉米與其他作物,因而過上了一種全新的且更為穩(wěn)定的生活。還有一些生活在北岸中部的人們,他們的語言也許為多倫多市命名--水中站立的樹。
      The college system
      All students within the Faculty of Arts & Science on the downtown Toronto (St. George) campus are affiliated with one of seven colleges. These colleges have deep roots in the history of the University of Toronto; the college system dates back to the earliest days of the university and remains one of its distinctive features. The colleges are a home base for their students and provide the advantages of a closer-knit community experience within a large research university.
