二、贝勒医学院的历史
Baylor College of Medicine History
In 1900, a small group of dedicated physicians and community leaders started a medical school in Dallas to improve the practice of medicine in North Texas. The fledgling school was called the University of Dallas Medical Department, although no such university existed. The school opened its doors Oct. 30, 1900.
In 1903, the school affiliated with Baylor University in Waco. At that time, the name changed to Baylor University College of Medicine. The College struggled in those early years to improve its curriculum, facilities, faculty, and students, and, by 1918, it was the only private medical school in Texas.
Over the next several decades, the College continued to grow, but faced many financial challenges.
1900年，一小群专门内科医生和社区领导为改善北德克萨斯地区的医疗实践，率先在达拉斯成立医学院。这个新成立的学院当时叫做达拉斯大学医学系，当然，当时还没有达拉斯大学。1900年10月30日，医学院开放。
1903年，学院隶属于贝勒大学韦科分校，并更名为贝勒大学医学院。早期时候，医学院努力扩大课程、设施、教师和学生规模。到1918年，它成为了德克萨斯州仅有的私立医学院。
在接下来的几十年里，医学院持续成长，但也面临着财务上的诸多挑战。
In 1943, the M.D. Anderson Foundation invited Baylor University College of Medicine to join the newly formed Texas Medical Center. The College opened in Houston July 12, 1943, in a converted Sears, Roebuck & Co. building, with 131 students. Four years later, the College moved into its present site in The Roy and Lillie Cullen Building, the first building completed in the new Texas Medical Center.
In 1948, Michael E. DeBakey, M.D., joined the faculty as chair of the Department of Surgery, and the following year, The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences was established. During the next several years, the College began its affiliation with a number of hospitals, which created superior training facilities for students and residents.
1943年，贝勒大学医学院被安德森基金会邀请，加入了新成立的德克萨斯医学中心。1943年7月12日，医学院在休斯顿开放。当时有131名学生，地址在经过改建的西尔斯罗巴克公司遗址。四年后，医学院迁到了目前所在地罗伊河莉莉卡伦大楼。该大楼也是新德克萨斯医学中心最先成立的建筑。
1948年，医学博士迈克尔-德贝基加盟医学院，担任外科部主任。次年，生物医学研究生院成立。在往后的几年里，医学院开始同多个医院合作，为学生和住院医师带来了卓越的培训设施。
The College's rise in prominence began in the 1950s when Dr. DeBakey's innovative surgical techniques garnered international attention. The 1960s brought the first major expansion of College facilities, along with a major turning point for the institution.
In 1969, by mutual agreement, the College separated from Baylor University to become an independent institution. This encouraged broader, nonsectarian support and provided access to federal research funding. The institution's name changed to Baylor College of Medicine.
That same year, the College entered into an agreement with the state legislature to double its class size in order to increase the number of physicians in Texas. The agreement remains in place today.
20世纪50年代，德贝基博士全新的外科技术引起了国际关注，医学院的重要性也开始显现。60年代，医学院经历了首次重大的拓展。这也成为了学院的一个重要转折点。
1969年，经过双方协定，医学院从贝勒大学脱离，成为独立的学院。这让学院获得了更加广泛的不基于宗派的支持，并获得了联邦政府提供的研究资金。医学院更名为贝勒医学院。
同年，为增加德克萨斯州内科医生人数，贝勒医学院和州议会达成协议，决定将班级规模扩大到原来的两倍。今天，该协议仍在生效。
