二、歷史沿革
Leiden University was the first university to be established in the Netherlands. William of Orange gave Leiden Academia Lugduno Batava in 1575, it is said in recognition of the city’s courageous resistance against the seige by the Spanish invaders. Our motto is praesidium libertatis – bastion of freedom. One famous example of this commitment to freedom is the speech delivered by Professor Cleveringa in 1940 when he delivered a speech protesting against the threatened dismissal of his Jewish colleagues. Leiden University celebrates this courageous act every year in the form of the Cleveringa lecture in Leiden and similar lectures held throughout the world. It is freedom that unites us even today.
在1575年，威廉王子管理著歐洲少數(shù)沒有大學的地區(qū)之一。此時文藝復興已開始凸顯學術(shù)研究的重要性;為了獎勵萊頓市民在1574年抵抗西班牙軍隊的英勇表現(xiàn)，威廉王子遂在此設立大學。傳說威廉王子當時給萊頓市民兩個選擇，一者是免稅，一者是大學;市民認為免稅令可被撤銷，大學卻能延續(xù)百年，是故選擇了后者。萊頓大學內(nèi)設有荷蘭最早的植物園——萊頓植物園。萊頓大學仍執(zhí)許多研究領(lǐng)域之牛耳，包括自然科學、醫(yī)學、社會與行為科學、法學、藝術(shù)及文學等等，并與四十余個國立研究機構(gòu)合作。荷蘭的最高學術(shù)榮譽──斯賓諾莎獎的28位得主中，有7位在萊頓執(zhí)教。Academiegebouw里懸掛著創(chuàng)校以來的著名教授畫像。獲得獨立后的荷蘭隨著經(jīng)濟和政治迅速崛起，也為大學教育的發(fā)展創(chuàng)造了必備的條件，但是當時的萊頓大學要想躋身世界一流大學的行列，就必須不惜重金，招聘到第一流的學者來校任教。在創(chuàng)辦初期，萊頓大學就從歐洲各國招聘到各個學科的著名學者，并且為他們提供最優(yōu)厚的待遇。正是這些來自不同國家的大師們來校任教，才為剛剛創(chuàng)辦的萊頓大學搭建起了包括語言學、醫(yī)學、天文學、自然科學在內(nèi)的一系列學科框架。許多外國人慕名來到這里求學。學校統(tǒng)一使用拉丁文授課，所以來自德國、法國、蘇格蘭、奧地利等國大學生都可以在這里聽課。萊頓大學是荷蘭天文學和考古學研究的發(fā)源地。1927年，沃爾特教授提供了充分的證據(jù)，表明太陽系的所有星球都圍繞銀河系的中心旋轉(zhuǎn)。
