Back to its origin

Emory University is a private institution in Atlanta, Georgia, which offers four-year degree and graduate degree programs. The university was founded as Emory College in 1836 in Oxford, Emory College was closed briefly during the Civil War. In the autumn of 1861, every student left to fight, and the college"s trustees closed for the duration. When Emory reopened in January 1866, the school"s library was destroyed and its small endowment was depleted.Only with the aid of a state grant could students afford to resume their education. Georgia by a small group of Methodists and was named in honor of Methodist bishop John Emory. The university"s mission statement is "to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of humanity". Today a collective of about a dozen undergraduate and graduate colleges and schools make up the leading research university.

More information

System: The university has nine academic divisions (four of which serve undergraduates and graduates) : Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Oxford College, Goizueta Business School, Laney Graduate School, School of Law, School of Medicine, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Rollins School of Public Health, and the Candler School of Theology. This university offers undergraduate and graduate courses on finance and linguistics, nursing, sociology, business management and administration, economics, psychology and so on. This university has 16 intercollegiate and 40 intramural sports teams, 25 Greek organizations and 220 student groups. Approximately 60 percent of all students at Emory receive some form of financial aid. First- and second-year students are required to live on campus, but a majority of students choose to remain on campus for all four years.

Emphasis: Emory maintains an uncommon balance for an institution of its standing: it generates more research funding than any other Georgia university, while maintaining its traditional emphasis on teaching. The university is enriched by the legacy and energy of Atlanta, and by collaboration among its schools, units and centers, as well as with affiliated institutions.

  • The Battle of Life 人生的战斗(III)(英文版)

    The Battle of Life 人生的战斗(III)(英文版)

    The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1846. It is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books"/ It's the 4th of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth and followed by The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain. Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. (One scene takes place at Christmas time, but it is not the final scene.) The story bears some resemblance to The Cricket on the Hearth in two respects: it has a non-urban setting, and it is resolved with a romantic twist. It is even less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one. The setting is an English village that stands on the site of an historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title.

  • The Pickwick Papers(I) 匹克威克外传(英文版)

    The Pickwick Papers(I) 匹克威克外传(英文版)

    The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, better known as The Pickwick Papers published serially in 1836–37, is the first novel by Charles Dickens. Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers–a comic masterpiece that catapulted its 24-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle &, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, & his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor's prison, characters & incidents sprang to life from Dickens's pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour & literary invention. Its rousing success launched his lasting fame. This narrative of coach travel provides a vivid portrait of a world that was soon to vanish with the coming of the railroads.
  • Storyteller

    Storyteller

    A visitor from Peru, happening upon an exhibition of photographs from the Amazon jungle in an obscure Florentine picture gallery, finds his attention drawn to a picture of a tribal storyteller seated among a circle of Michiguenga Indians. There is something odd about the storyteller. He is too light-skinned to be an Indian. As the visitor stares at the photograph, it dawns on him that he knows this man. The storyteller is his long-lost friend, Saul Zuratas, his classmate from university who was thought to have disappeared in Israel. The Storyteller is a brilliant and compelling study of the world of the primitive and its place in our own modern lives.
