英文导读

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 Voyeur

    The Voyeur

    Mathias, a timorous, ineffectual traveling salesman, returns to the island of his birth after a long absence. Two days later, a thirteen-year-old girl is found drowned and mutilated. With eerie precision, Robbe-Grillet puts us at the scene of the crime and takes us inside Mathias's mind, artfully enlisting us as detective hot on the trail of a homocidal maniac. A triumphant display of the techniques of the new novel, The Voyeur achieves the impossible feat of keeping us utterly engrossed in the mystery of the child's murder while systematically raising doubts about whether it really occurred.

Now her father's killer is out of jail and back in town, and he claims that Hanalee's father wasn't killed by the accident at all but, instead, was poisoned by the doctor who looked after him—who happens to be Hanalee's new stepfather. ?The only way for Hanalee to get the answers she needs is to ask Hank himself, a "haint" wandering the roads at night.

  • 金光蔓延

    金光蔓延

    姚金女十六岁那年,忽然感觉吕城镇静谧的空气里多了一种震颤。这种震颤是从镇北那边传来的,沉沉的带着固定节奏的金属碾轧声,由远而近或者由近而远,穿过平素静谧温和的土层,再通过土壤,传导给墙壁、窗户、门框、床铺、桌椅。沉厚的碾轧声虽被分解零散成微微的颤栗,但乡村的风酥雨柔明显被注入了一种刚硬的元素。奇怪的是,金女问周围的人,都说没感觉到。“哪有什么颤动啊?你又神经兮兮瞎想了吧。”姐姐金朵摇了摇头,继续拿着抹布做她的事去了。金女又去问了母亲和弟弟,他们都说没感觉到。真是怪了。
