Chulalongkorn University ((タイ語:จุฬาลงกรณ์มหาวิทยาลัย); ; ), officially abbreviated as CU and commonly abbreviated as Chula ((タイ語:จุฬาฯ)), is the oldest university under the Thai modern educational system, founded in 1917 by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI)〔(History of Chulalongkorn University )〕 who named it after his father, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). It is one of the best universities in Thailand and Southeast Asia according to several university rankings. It comprises nineteen faculties and institutes. Its campus occupies a vast area in downtown Bangkok. Diplomas were traditionally handed out at graduation by the King of Thailand, created and begun by King Prajadhipok (Rama VII). But at present, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) delegates the role to one of his daughters, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. ==History== The demands of officials specialized in various fields by the government in the late 19th century Siam was an result of King Chulalongkorn’s bureaucratic reforms, which aimed to transform the feudal Thai society into a modernized state. In 1899, the king founded the Civil Service Training School〔(タイ語:โรงเรียนสำหรับฝึกหัดวิชาข้าราชการฝ่ายพลเรือน)〕 near the northern gate of the Royal Palace. Those who graduated from the school would become royal pages. Being royal pages, they learned how to administer organizations by working closely with the king, which was a traditional way of entrance to Siamese bureaucracy. After being royal pages, they would then serve in the Mahattai Ministry or other government ministries. On April 1, 1902〔ราชกิจจานุเบกษา, (พระบรมราชโองการประกาศตั้งโรงเรียนมหาดเล็ก ). เล่ม ๑๙, ตอน ๑, ๖ เมษายน พ.ศ.๒๔๔๕, หน้า ๑๖ (Royal Order to establish Royal Page School)〕 the king thought the name of the school should be renamed to increase dignity of students and graduates. Hence the name Royal Pages School ((タイ語:โรงเรียนมหาดเล็ก)) was later used. Later, on January 1, 1911,〔ราชกิจจานุเบกษา, (พระบรมราชโองการประกาศตั้งโรงเรียนข้าราชการพลเรือนฯ ), เล่ม ๒๗, ตอน ก, ๑๑ มกราคม พ.ศ.๒๔๕๔, หน้า ๑๒๓ (Royal Order to establish the Civil Service College of King Chulalongkorn)〕 King Vajiravudh renamed the school again to Civil Service College of King Chulalongkorn ((タイ語:โรงเรียนข้าราชการพลเรือนของพระบาทสมเด็จพระจุลจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว)) as a memorial to his father and moved the school to Windsor Palace ((タイ語:วังวินด์เซอร์ หรือวังใหม่)) in the Pathumwan district. The academic demands, however, increased all over the country as a whole as Siam was modernized. King Vajiravudh then took the remaining funds of Chulalongkorn’s Royal Equestrian Statue construction, which was collected from people. Then combined with his own funds to subsidize the construction of a university campus. The king organized various schools around the city proper into the Chulalongkorn's College. The college offered 8 majors taught by 5 schools including; * School of International Relations in the Royal Palace * School of Teacher Training at Baan Somdet Chao Phraya * Royal Medical College at Siriraj Hospital * School of Legal Studies * School of Mechanical Sciences at the Windsor Palace King Rama VI then realized that the education should be provided to all people not only for the bureaucrats. On March 26, 1917, the college was upgraded to the Chulalongkorn University ((タイ語:จุฬาลงกรณ์มหาวิทยาลัย)),〔ราชกิจจานุเบกษา, (พระบรมราชโองการ ประกาศประดิษฐานโรงเรียนข้าราชการพลเรือนของพระบาทสมเด็จพระจุลจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัวขึ้นเป็นโรงเรียนข้าราชการพลเรือน ), เล่ม ๒๗, ตอน ก, ๑๕ เมษายน พ.ศ.๒๔๖๐ (ประกาศเมื่อวันที่ ๒๖ มีนาคม พ.ศ.๒๔๖๐, หน้า ๑๒๓ (Royal Order to establish the Civil Service College of King Chulalongkorn.)〕 and the schools were transformed into four faculties: Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Faculty of Public Administration, Faculty of Engineering, and Faculty of Medicine. The university firstly granted certificates to its graduates. The education for a degree was then prepared. The Rockefeller Foundation reorganized the curriculum of the Faculty of Medicine. In 1923, the Faculty of Medicine became the first faculty to accept students from the secondary education (known as Mattayom). The remaining faculties then followed suit. After the 1932 Revolution, the Khana Ratsadon wanted the legal and political studies to be independent from "royalists'" Chulalongkorn University so they took the Faculty of Law and Political Science into their new Thammasat University in 1933. In 1938, the Chulalongkorn University’s Preparatory School was founded to provide pre-collegiate education for its students. Those who managed to enter the university had to spent two years in the Preparatory School before going on to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The Preparatory School, however, ceased to be a university-owned preparatory school in 1947 and became independent Triam Udom Suksa School. Later, the university established Chulalongkorn University Demonstration School (CUD) system as laboratory primary and high schools for Faculty of Education. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chulalongkorn University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
