一、關(guān)于密蘇里大學(xué)哥倫比亞分校
The University of Missouri-Columbia was founded in 1839 as the first public university west of the Mississippi River, the first public university in Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase territory. Our distinct mission, as Missouri's only state-supported member of the Association of American Universities, is to provide all Missourians the benefits of a world-class research university. We are stewards and builders of a priceless state resource, a unique physical infrastructure and scholarly environment in which our tightly interlocked missions of teaching, research and service work together on behalf of all citizens. Students work side by side with some of the world's best faculty to advance the arts and humanities, the sciences, and the professions. Scholarship and teaching are daily driven by a sense of public service--the obligation to produce and disseminate knowledge that will improve the quality of life in the state, the nation and the world. The University of Missouri-Columbia, as the state's major land-grant university, honors the public trust placed in it and accepts the associated accountability to the people of Missouri for its stewardship of that trust. Our duty is to acquire, create, transmit, and preserve knowledge, and to promote understanding.

二、密蘇里大學(xué)哥倫比亞分校的歷史
Our Founding
The University of Missouri owes its existence to 900 citizens of Boone County who, in 1839, pledged $117,921 in cash and land to win the bid to locate the new state university in Columbia. This investment in the promise of a better future for all through public higher education made the University of Missouri the first public university west of the Mississippi River. In fact, it's the first in Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase Territory.
建校
密蘇里大學(xué)的成立歸功于布恩縣的9百名市民。1839年，9百名市民用117,921 美金和土地贏得了支持，新的州立大學(xué)得以在哥倫比亞成立。這筆投資使得密蘇里大學(xué)成為密西西比河西岸的第一所公立大學(xué)。事實(shí)上，密蘇里大學(xué)哥倫比亞分校也是托馬斯·杰斐遜路易斯安那購(gòu)置地最早的公立大學(xué)。
Our Beginnings
University cultural life began in 1842 with the formation of two literary societies, the Union Literary and the Athenaean Society. The first department of art was directed by George Caleb Bingham, the famous Missouri artist.
In 1849 the first course in civil engineering west of the Mississippi River was taught at MU. Today, the College of Engineering offers courses in everything from biological to nuclear engineering, and its students work on cutting-edge research projects such as designing a better NASA spacesuit and creating more efficient solar cars.
The “Normal College,“ now the College of Education, was established in 1867 to prepare teachers for Missouri public schools and enrolled the university's first female students. Women were admitted to all academic classes in 1871. Today the College of Education leads new teachers in efforts to reform the American public school system and develop new classroom technologies.
早期的密蘇里大學(xué)
1842年，學(xué)校設(shè)立了兩個(gè)文學(xué)社——Union Literary 和Athenaean Society，密蘇里大學(xué)的文化生活由此開始。學(xué)校的第一個(gè)藝術(shù)系由密蘇里州著名藝術(shù)家喬治·加勒伯·賓漢領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
1849年，密西西比河西岸第一門土木工程課在密蘇里大學(xué)開設(shè)。今天，工程學(xué)院的課程涵蓋了從生物工程到核電工程的所有領(lǐng)域。工程學(xué)院的學(xué)生從事尖端的研究，比如設(shè)計(jì)更科學(xué)合理的天空服，造出更高效的太陽能汽車。
1867年，教育學(xué)院的前身師范學(xué)院成立。它的目的是將學(xué)生培養(yǎng)成密蘇里州公立學(xué)校教師。師范學(xué)院招收了密蘇里大學(xué)的第一批女學(xué)生。1871年，所有專業(yè)課程都招收了女學(xué)生。今天，教育學(xué)院帶領(lǐng)著新的教師對(duì)美國(guó)公立學(xué)校制度進(jìn)行改革，發(fā)展了新的課堂技術(shù)。
