耶鲁300年校庆

In 1701，the collegiate institution that would soon become well-known Yale was founded. To celebrate the 300th anniversary of this event, President Levin convened a group including faculty, students, administrators and Fellows of the Corporation to develop guiding principles for the programs of the Tercentennial Year. Every school，museum and academic center has responded by creating special exhibitions，publications or symposia.

1701年，一个学院机构成立了，并且不久便成为了举世闻名的耶鲁大学。为了庆祝建校300周年，莱文校长召集了全体教职员工、学生、管理人员，以及耶鲁集团成员来讨论300周年校庆活动的指导方针。各学院、博物馆及学术中心都积极响应，设计了许多别具一格的展览会、出版物，或座谈会。

The official opening of the anniversary was Saturday, October 21，2000 when Yale opened its doors to the public. Thousands enjoyed this daylong celebration which included tours, exhibits, hands-on demonstrations and special events for children and families.

2000年10月21日，周年纪念庆祝活动正式开始。就在这天，耶鲁大学向公众敞开了大门。成千上万的人们参与到一整天的庆祝活动中来，有游行、展览、自制作品展示，还有为孩子及家庭成员设计的特殊活动。

The events continued with the Alumni Leadership Convocation April 19-22, 2001. The weekend allowed alumni representatives to "Go to Yale" again and choose from an array of lectures, panels and workshops. Over 1,400 attendees chose among 50 different sessions, which included topics as diverse as modem business ethics, cartooning, Yale's rowing history, sexual harassment law, as well as a tutorial on how to conduct the end of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

活动一直进行着，并在2001年4月19日到22日举办了一次校友领导人集会。这个周末，校友代表们再次回到耶鲁，参与各种讲座座谈会及研讨会。出席人数超过1400人，共涉及50场会议，包含形形色色的议题，如现代商业道德、漫画行业、耶鲁大学划船项目的历史、性骚扰相关法律，还有一场如何指挥贝多芬的第九交响曲的结尾部分的专门指导会。

Another important activity was the Yale Women Faculty Forum. With staff support from the Tercentennial Office, a group of faculty had convened the Women Faculty Forum for the Tercentennial. The forum consisted of faculty who had been meeting to insure that women have a strong presence in the Tercentennial and beyond. That year marked both the 300'1' anniversary of the founding of Yale and the 30th anniversary of the first graduating class of women from Yale College. To mark the transformations brought about by women of Yale, the forum sponsored a series of events during the Tercentennial year.

另一个比较重要的活动是耶鲁大学女性教职工论坛。在300周年纪念策划委员的大力支持下，不少教员参与到这个论坛，他们一直强调在300周年校庆期间女性教员参与的重要性。那一年不仅是耶鲁大学建校300周年纪念，也是耶鲁第一届女子班毕业的30周年纪念。为了突出这些年来耶鲁女性所带来的巨大变化，这个论坛发起了一系列的纪念活动。

The yearlong anniversary culminated the weekend of October 5-7. On the afternoon of October 5, members of the Yale community, returning alumni, and representatives from sister institutions processed to Yale's Cross Campus for a convocation commemorating the University's founding. In the afternoon, some other events took place at the Yale Bowl and lasted long into the night.

持续了一年的庆祝活动在10月5日到7日的周末进人尾声。10月5日，耶鲁大学社区成员、返校校友，以及来自姐妹院校的代表们列队前行，来到耶鲁的十字形校园， 参加纪念耶鲁建校的集会。下午，在耶鲁大型运动场又举办了其他活动，一直持续到晚上。
