Введение
Колледж Кембриджского университета (англ. Murray Edwards College) — женский колледж, входящий в состав Кембриджского университета. Он был основан в 1954 году под названием New Hall и переименован в 2008 году в честь пожертвования в размере 30 миллионов фунтов стерлингов, сделанного выпускницей Роуз Эдвардс и ее мужем Стивом, а также в память о Розмари Мюррей, первом президенте и женщине-вице-канцлере Кембриджского университета.

История
Нью-Холл был основан в 1954 году и первоначально разместил шестнадцать студенток на Сильвер-стрит, на месте, где сейчас расположен Дарвинский колледж. В то время в Кембридже был самый низкий процент студенток среди всех университетов Великобритании, и только два других колледжа (Гиртон и Ньюнем) принимали женщин. В 1962 году члены семьи Дарвина передали дому "Орчард" колледжу. Этот новый кампус располагался на Хантингдон-роуд, примерно в полутора километрах от центра Кембриджа. Архитекторами были выбраны Чемберлин, Пауэлл и Бон, известные по проекту Барбикана в Лондоне, и начался сбор средств. Строительство началось в 1964 году и было завершено компанией W. & C. French в 1965 году. Новый колледж мог принять до 300 студенток. В 1967 году одна из аспиранток колледжа, Джоселин Белл Бернелл, работавшая в группе радиоастрономии университета, открыла первые четыре пульсара, что привело к присуждению Нобелевской премии ее научному руководителю, а впоследствии и самой Джоселин Белл Бернелл, которая получила должность профессора-исследователя в Оксфордском университете. В 1975 году президент колледжа Розмари Мюррей стала первой женщиной на посту вице-канцлера Кембриджского университета. Две ее преемницы, Энн Лонсдейл и Дженнифер Барнс, впоследствии стали про-вице-канцлерами университета. После пожертвования в размере 30 миллионов фунтов стерлингов, сделанного в 2005 году выпускницей Розалинд Эдвардс и ее мужем Стивом Эдвардсом для обеспечения будущего колледжа, в начале 2008 года Нью-Холл был переименован в Колледж Мюррея Эдвардса в честь первой президентши, леди Розмари Мюррей, и благотворителей. Это решение вызвало некоторую оппозицию, поскольку новое название включало мужскую фамилию, несмотря на то, что колледж предназначался исключительно для студенток. Колледжи Кембриджа, ранее принимавшие только мужчин, были преобразованы в колледжи смешанного типа в 1970-х и 1980-х годах. С момента объявления в 2006 году о том, что последний женский колледж Оксфордского университета, Сент-Хилда, также начнет принимать мужчин, Кембридж остается единственным университетом в Великобритании, который частично сохраняет политику приема только студенток, представленную колледжами Ньюнем и Мюррея Эдвардса. Преподавательский состав и сотрудники Колледжа Мюррея Эдвардса набираются без учета пола. Мужчинам не запрещено посещать колледж, и многие студенты учатся там у преподавателей Мюррея Эдвардса.
New Hall was founded in 1954, housing sixteen students in Silver Street where Darwin College now stands. Cambridge then had the lowest proportion of women undergraduates of any university in the United Kingdom and only two other colleges (Girton and Newnham) admitted female students. In 1962, members of the Darwin family gave their home, "The Orchard", to the College. This new site was located on Huntingdon Road, about a mile from the centre of Cambridge. The architects chosen were Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, who are known for their design of the Barbican in London, and fundraising commenced. The building work began in 1964 and was completed by W. & C. French in 1965. The new college could house up to 300 students. In 1967, one of the college's PhD students, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, a researcher in the university radio astronomy group, discovered the first four pulsars, leading to a Nobel Prize for her supervisor, and, ultimately, for Bell Burnell herself, a position as a research professor at the University of Oxford. In 1975, the college's President Rosemary Murray became the first woman to hold the post of vice chancellor of the University of Cambridge. Two subsequent presidents, Anne Lonsdale and Jennifer Barnes, have become pro vice chancellors of the University. Following a 2005 donation of £30 million by alumna Rosalind Edwards and her husband Steve Edwards to secure its future, in early 2008 New Hall was renamed Murray Edwards College, honouring the first President, Dame Rosemary Murray, and the benefactors. There was some opposition to this as the new name incorporated a man's surname, despite the college being reserved for women students. Men only Cambridge colleges were converted into mixed sex colleges in the 1970s and 1980s. Since the 2006 announcement that the University of Oxford's last remaining women only college, St Hilda's, would also admit men, Cambridge is the only United Kingdom university that partially maintains a female only student admissions policy, represented by Newnham and Murray Edwards. The fellowship and staff at Murray Edwards College are recruited from all genders. There is no bar to male students frequenting the college and many are taught there by Murray Edwards' fellows.
Здания
Как и многие другие колледжи Кембриджа, колледж Мюррея Эдвардса строился не сразу, а расширялся по мере необходимости в течение нескольких периодов времени. Поэтому в колледже есть несколько жилых корпусов, выполненных в разных стилях. В порядке постройки:
Like many of the other Cambridge colleges, Murray Edwards College was not built all at one time but expanded as the need arose, over several time periods. The college therefore has several accommodation blocks of differing styles. In order of construction:
Orchard Court (also known as Old Block) recalls the name of the grounds now occupied by the college, which was The Orchard, a large house part owned by Norah Barlow, granddaughter of Charles Darwin. It is divided into the Wolfson, Nuffield and Spooner Wings, named after donors to New Hall during its first few decades. Part of the original structure was designed in the 1960s and completed in 1965. In 2009, part of this block was refurbished to improve fire safety and living standards. Some student rooms are split across two levels, meaning they have a bedroom upstairs and a separate living space downstairs. Many of the rooms have access to a shared balcony. Pearl House (formerly known as New Block), named after Valerie Pearl, the second president of the college. The building was constructed with funding from the Kaetsu Foundation. All rooms are en suite. Wheelchair access is available to each floor via the central lift. Opened in 1994, this is where first year undergraduates are accommodated. Unlike most colleges at Cambridge, the building offers fully equipped kitchens, baths and a lift. Buckingham House. The current building was a replacement for another building of the same name that stood on this site, and was opened in 2001. All rooms are en suite. The building is wheelchair accessible and has a lift. Contains a 142 seat auditorium which is used for lectures, film festivals and concerts. Canning and Eliza Fok House is named after the Hong Kong entrepreneur Canning Fok and his wife Eliza Fok, who donated the funds for constructing this accommodation block. All rooms are en suite. The building is wheelchair accessible and has a lift. Opened in 2008. Canning and Eliza Fok House is specifically built to accommodate the growing population of graduate students at Murray Edwards, and has a large shared kitchen/living area between 8 bedrooms. The first buildings of the college on Huntingdon Road were designed by the architects, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, and are listed Grade II* (particularly important buildings of more than special interest). This includes:
The Dome, which features some of the artwork the college is famed for, as well as a rising servery (a bar that rises from the floor for special events). This is where the cafeteria is located. Students take their meals here, including Saturday and Sunday brunch, often cited as the best brunch in Cambridge. Formals are held here, once a week on a Tuesday. Fountain Court, which can be accessed from the bar and looks into the library, and features an illuminated fountain and waterways. Tables and chairs are put out there in warmer months as well as displays of flowers. The Library, which was designed to reflect the interior of a Cathedral. Students can request heaters, blankets, tea, coffee and biscuits as they study. Yoga sessions, arts and craft and a variety of other welfare events are held here and it is open 24/7.

Орчард-Корт (также известный как Старый корпус) напоминает о названии территории, на которой сейчас расположен колледж – «Орчард», большом доме, частично принадлежавшем Норе Барлоу, внучке Чарльза Дарвина. Он разделен на крылья Вольфсона, Наффилда и Спунера, названные в честь жертвователей Нью-Холла в его первые десятилетия. Часть оригинальной структуры была спроектирована в 1960-х годах и завершена в 1965 году. В 2009 году часть этого корпуса была отремонтирована для повышения пожарной безопасности и уровня комфорта. В некоторых студенческих комнатах два уровня: спальня наверху и отдельная гостиная внизу. Многие комнаты имеют выход на общий балкон.

Сады
Сады колледжа выполнены в неформальном стиле, первоначально спроектированные и засаженные первым президентом, дамой Розмари Мюррей. В садах есть теплица, изначально принадлежавшая поместью семьи Дарвинов, где в зимние месяцы выращивают банановые растения. В 2007 году колледж Мюррея Эдвардса (ранее Нью-Холл) стал первым колледжем Кембриджа, принявшим участие в Челсиском цветочном шоу. Тема представленного сада была посвящена прохождению Венеры по диску Солнца, и он был удостоен бронзовой медали Флоры в категории "Шикарный сад". После шоу этот сад был воссоздан в немного увеличенном виде рядом с библиотекой. В рамках кембриджской традиции Майской недели колледж ежегодно проводит садовую вечеринку, популярную среди студентов всего университета. Каждый год вечеринка посвящена новой теме, которая получает положительные отзывы от посетителей. В Майклмас (осенний/зимний семестр) колледж отмечает "День яблока" в садах, день осенних развлечений, таких как сбор яблок, кулинария, рукоделие и разведение костров. Студентам колледжа Мюррея Эдвардса предлагается наслаждаться садами и гулять по лужайкам, поэтому часто можно увидеть студентов, загорающих, занимающихся, устраивающих пикники или даже отдыхающих на небольшом пляже, который устанавливают летом. За садами ухаживают профессиональные сотрудники, а в последнее время также стипендиаты и студенты. С 2012 года стипендиатам, студентам бакалавриата и магистратуры предоставляются садовые участки для выращивания трав и овощей, в дополнение к цветам и травам, уже посаженным садоводами.
The college gardens have an informal style, initially planned and planted by the first president, Dame Rosemary Murray. The gardens include a greenhouse originally belonging to the estate of the Darwin family, where banana plants are grown during the winter months. In 2007, Murray Edwards College (then New Hall) became the first Cambridge College to participate in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The theme of the presented garden was the Transit of Venus, and was awarded a Bronze Flora medal in the Chic Garden Category. After the show, this garden was recreated in a slightly larger form beside the library. As part of the Cambridge tradition of May Week, the college hosts an annual garden party that is popular with students from across the university. The garden party features a new theme each year and is well received by those in attendance. In Michaelmas (the Autumn/ Winter term), the college celebrates 'Apple Day' in the gardens, a day of autumnal activities such as apple picking, cooking, crafting and bonfires. The students at Murray Edwards are encouraged to enjoy the gardens and walk on the lawns, meaning it is common to spot students sunbathing, studying, taking picnics or even relaxing on the small beach that is erected in the Summer. The gardens are maintained by professional staff, and recently also by fellows and students. Since 2012, gardening allotments have been provided for fellows, undergraduates and postgraduates for growing herbs and vegetables, in addition to the flowers and herbs already planted by the gardeners.
Стипендии
Колледж поддерживает фонд для финансирования исследований в аспирантуре, включая стипендию имени Стефана Корнера для аспирантов, изучающих философию, классическую филологию или юриспруденцию.
The college maintains a fund for graduate research, including the Stephan Körner graduate studentship for studies in philosophy, classics or law.
