威尔弗里德·劳雷尔大学

title: 历史.
content: 威尔弗里德·劳雷尔大学的历史溯源于1911的Waterloo Lutheran Seminary of Canada(加拿大滑铁卢路德宗学院), 1914年,该学院发展了很多非神学领域的课程被更名为 the Waterloo College School, 1924年更名为Waterloo College of Arts,并提供三年制的学士学位课程。 1925年,Waterloo College of Arts 成为西安大略大学的附属学院。  滑铁卢大学的历史可追溯到1957年7月1日成立的滑铁卢专科联合学院(Waterloo College Associate Faculties),是当时的滑铁卢学院(即现在的威尔弗里德·劳雷尔大学)的一个半自治部门机构。该机构于1959年正式脱离滑铁卢学院并升格为大学。  Wilfrid Laurier University was established by Wilfrid Laurier University Act 1973, which was amended in 2001.  Laurier opened a second campus, in Brantford, Ontario, in 1999, and in 2006 the Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work moved from the Waterloo campus to a campus in downtown Kitchener. The Brantford campus is centred on a number of historic properties in the downtown area which have been restored for university use. They include a former Carnegie library, Brantford's 1880 post office, and 1870 mansion, and a 1950 Odeon Theatre. The Kitchener campus is located in the historic and fully renovated former St. Jerome's high school building.  In October 2008, the University was named one of Waterloo Area's Top Employers and featured in the Waterloo Region Record and Guelph Mercury newspapers.  Waterloo Lutheran Seminary continues to operate in affiliation with the University and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
title: 校名.
content: 滑铁卢路德宗大学(Waterloo Lutheran University)在转型为公立大学之时需要去除原校名中的宗教涵义。包括Beaver University、Riel University、the Iroquois University of Waterloo在内,一共有多达94个候选名称。新校名最终于1973年被确定为威尔弗里德·劳雷尔大学(Wilfrid Laurier University)。有争议的是彼时一些学生抗议称Wilfrid Laurier实为一值得商榷的政治人物,且无论与学校还是滑铁卢地区皆无任何联系。有猜测称之所以命名为Wilfrid Laurier University是为了保留学校原有的首字母WLU,以减少更改档案的麻烦。
title: Book publishing.
content: The Wilfrid Laurier University Press, which was founded in 1974, deals with archaeology, military history and sociology/anthropology. Wilfrid Laurier University Press is one of only 8 university publishers found in Canada.  The internationally renowned Faculty of Music at Laurier is considered one of the best in the country, with programs in performance, music education, composition, music history, church music, theory and music therapy. In addition, Laurier is home to the Penderecki String Quartet - an internationally recognised group playing largely new compositions. The music faculty boasts two performance spaces - the Theatre Auditorium and the Maureen Forrester Recital Hall (named after the famous contralto and former chancellor of WLU). The faculty also attracts a greater percentage of students from outside Ontario than any other faculty at Laurier. Laurier's Music program boasts the only Masters Degree in Music Therapy. Laurier's strength in "music and business education" is touted as one of the reasons that Waterloo Region is a "powerful educational hub" by former University of Waterloo president, and now Governor-General of Canada, David Johnston.

content: Laurier offers a variety of different programs through its 6 faculties: Arts, Science, Education, Music, Social Work, and Lazaridis School of Business & Economics.

content: Laurier's primary campus ("The Waterloo Campus") is located in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. The majority of the University's faculties reside at the Waterloo Campus, including Business, Arts, Science, Music, and Health. Altogether, approximately 15,000 students attend classes at the Waterloo campus.
title: 体育.
content: The university is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sport by the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks.  The history of the team name (Golden Hawks) dates back to the 1961. For many years, the Waterloo College teams were called simply the Waterloo College teams, although sometimes they were called the Purple and Gold and other times the Waterloons. In 1950, the college's newspaper mused that a name was needed, and in December 1951 a new name was tested: the Mules.  In 1960, with the shift from college to university status, the university student newspaper again lobbied for change. At a meeting that year, somebody suggested Golden Hawks and that was the name adopted. A headline in the January 16, 1961 issue of the newspaper read "From 'Jackass' to 'Bird of Prey'".  In 2007 the women's lacrosse team achieved a dynasty status by winning their fifth OUA Ontario University Athletics gold medal in a row. In February 2008, the women's hockey team claimed its fifth gold medal in as many years and seventh since 1998. The women's hockey team won its first CIS national championship in 2005. Both teams have since won sixth consecutive championships in their respective sports, furthering their dynasties.
