    二、貝勒大學(xué)的歷史
    In 1841, 35 delegates to the Union Baptist Association meeting accepted the suggestion of Reverend William Milton Tryon and District Judge R.E.B. Baylor to establish a Baptist university in Texas.
    The Texas Baptist Education Society then petitioned the Congress of the Republic of Texas to charter a Baptist university in the fall of 1844. Republic President Anson Jones signed the Act of Congress on Feb. 1, 1845, officially establishing Baylor University. Reverend James Huckins, the first Baptist missionary to Texas, was Baylor's first full-time fundraiser and the third founding father of the university. Although these three men are credited as being the founders of Baylor University, there are many others who worked to see our university established in Texas.
    After the University was chartered on February 1, 1845, four communities made bids to be the location: Travis, Huntsville, Shannon's Prairie and Independence. Independence was selected, and classes for preparatory students began in May 1846 with college courses offered the following June. In 1886, Baylor and Waco University consolidated to form Baylor University at Waco.
    1841年，35名聯(lián)盟浸信會協(xié)會代表會面，接受了牧師威廉·彌爾頓-泰倫和地區(qū)法官貝勒關(guān)于在德州成立一所浸會大學(xué)的建議。
    1844年，德克薩斯浸信會教育協(xié)會請求德克薩斯共和國國會特許成立浸會大學(xué)。1845年2月1日，共和國元首安森瓊斯簽署國會法，正式成立貝勒大學(xué)。詹姆斯赫金斯是德州的第一任浸信會傳教士，也是貝勒大學(xué)的第一位全職集資者兼貝勒大學(xué)的第三位創(chuàng)始人。雖然公認的貝勒大學(xué)創(chuàng)始人只有這三人，但是還有許多人見證了貝勒大學(xué)在德州的成立。
    1845年2月1日貝勒大學(xué)成立。在那之后，有四個地方競相成為學(xué)校所在地：特拉維斯、亨茨維爾、香農(nóng)大牧場和獨立城。結(jié)果，獨立城被選中。1846年，學(xué)校開課。次年六月，學(xué)校提供大學(xué)課程。1886年，貝勒大學(xué)和韋科大學(xué)合并，形成貝勒大學(xué)韋科分校。
    From humble beginnings in Independence, Texas, the campus has grown to approximately 1,000 acres in Waco, Texas, annually educating more than 15,000 men and women to pursue their individual life callings.
    These are exciting times in the life of the University - a period in which our institution is striving to remain both a relevant institution of higher learning for the coming years and to continue to fulfill our original mission laid down by our founders: to be a Christian University "fully susceptible of enlargement and development to meet the needs of all ages to come." In a world where faith is often the casualty of a serious pursuit of academic achievement, Baylor is a special place.
    The ability and willingness of Baylor to adapt and change to achieve continual progress can be traced throughout its history. It has endured and survived hardships, from financial difficulties, to the Great Depression, to world wars. It made a historic and critical decision to move from Independence to Waco, its current home. It divested its medical and dental schools at a time when that proved to be the most prudent decision for the success of each program. It even had the foresight and fortitude to change its very charter to insulate the institution from denominational struggles.
    Had Baylor and its leaders throughout history not faced these decisions and challenges with foresight and a commitment to progress, it would not be the leading university that it is today. The University's Pro Futurisvision will continue to help Baylor adapt and grow with the world around it, while ever strengthening its original mission and heritage.
    起初，學(xué)校在獨立城的時候是很卑微的。后來，學(xué)院逐漸成長，在韋科的時候有了近一千英畝土地，每年培養(yǎng)了一萬五千名以上男女學(xué)生。
    這段時間是貝勒大學(xué)史上振奮人心的時期。在此期間，貝勒大學(xué)在做兩個方面的努力。一是保持作為高等教育機構(gòu)的身份。二是繼續(xù)完成創(chuàng)始者們提出的使命，即成為一所浸會大學(xué)，“全面發(fā)展和壯大，以滿足所有人類子孫的需求?！笨偠灾惱沾髮W(xué)的學(xué)術(shù)追求信仰，因而它是一個一所特別的大學(xué)。
    貝勒大學(xué)為了取得持續(xù)的進步，一直以來都樂意并有能力對自身做出調(diào)整。這種能力和意愿可在其歷史中窺見一二。在發(fā)展的過程中，貝勒大學(xué)承受并克服了重重困難，從資金緊缺到大蕭條，遭到第二次世界大戰(zhàn)，一路走來。從獨立城搬到韋科，這是一個具有歷史意義的關(guān)鍵性的決定——貝勒大學(xué)目前的校址就在韋科。貝勒大學(xué)曾撤銷了醫(yī)學(xué)院和牙科學(xué)院，后來證明，這是最為精明的決定，它確保了每一門課程的成功。貝勒大學(xué)甚至還有這般遠見卓識和勇氣，對它的憲章做出修正，使得貝勒大學(xué)擺脫了宗派糾紛。
    如果當初面對這些困難和挑戰(zhàn)的時候貝勒大學(xué)沒有遠見卓識，沒有想要取得進步的承諾，它也不會是今天的樣子，也不會成為一所頂尖的大學(xué)。貝勒大學(xué)的Pro Futurisvision 將繼續(xù)幫助它做出調(diào)整、適應(yīng)，同周邊的世界一起成長，強化其最初的使命，繼承其遺產(chǎn)。
