词条 | 牛津万灵学院 |
释义 | 简介牛津万灵学院属于牛津大学联盟中的一所学院。 它建立是为了纪念百年战争战死者的英灵。与其它牛津学院的不同之处在于它没有自己的学生。每一年,万灵学院都会补充新成员,即邀请牛津大学中最优秀的学生参加由万灵学院组织一场考试,其中最出色的两名学生将会成为万灵学院的新成员。成为万灵学院的成员在英国被认为是最高的荣誉。 学院是由亨利六世(Henry Chichele)于1438年为纪念反法庭之役去世的战士所建。学院的构架在建立之后都没有再改变过。今天学院是主要一个学术研究机构。 英文版: All Souls College, Oxford All Souls College (in full: The College of All Souls of the Faithful Departed, of Oxford) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. All Souls is an oddity among Oxford colleges in that it has no students. Its members automatically become Fellows, i.e., academics who are full governing members of the College. Every year, the top finalists of the University are invited to sit the examination for fellowship of the College. About two are elected to fellowship each year. Fellowship of All Souls is thus regarded as one of the highest academic honours in the United Kingdom. These Fellows are known as Prize Fellows, their term of office is seven years and roughly a dozen are at the college at any one time. Other categories of fellowship include Senior Research Fellows, Post-Doctoral Research Fellows, Fifty-Pound Fellows (open only to former Fellows no longer holding posts in Oxford) and Distinguished Fellows. There are also many Professorial Fellows who hold their fellowships by reason of their University post. |
