The University of York has nine colleges. These colleges provide most of the accommodation for undergraduates and postgraduates at the University. While lectures, examinations, laboratories and facilities such as the central library are run by the University, the colleges play an important role in the pastoral care of the student body. Every student is a member of a college, staff may choose to join a college if they wish. All the colleges are of equal status, but each has its own constitution. The day-to-day running of the colleges is managed by an elected committee of staff and student members chaired by the college's 'Head of College'. Each college has a Junior Common Room for students, which is managed by the elected Junior Common Room Committee, and a Senior Common Room, which is managed by elected representatives of the college's academic and administrative members. The colleges are deliberately assigned undergraduates, postgraduate students and staff from a wide mixture of disciplines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colleges )〕 ==History== In 1963 the University of York opened. At the time, the university consisted of three buildings, principally the historic King's Manor in the city centre and Heslington Hall, which has Tudor foundations and is in the village of Heslington on the edge of York. A year later, work began on purpose-built structures on the Heslington West campus, including the construction of the Colleges, which now form the main part of the university.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History: The 1960s )〕 Baron James of Rusholme, the university's first Vice-Chancellor, set out to create a modern university which retained the collegiate character of the traditional collegiate universities of Oxbridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors of the University )〕 York's first two Colleges, Derwent and Langwith were founded in 1965, and were followed by Alcuin and Vanbrugh in 1967.〔 Goodricke and Wentworth were founded shortly afterwards, in 1968 and 1972 respectively. After 1972 the construction of Colleges ceased until 1990 with the foundation of James College, York. Initially James was intended to be a postgraduate only college, however the University began to rapidly expand in size almost doubling in size from 4,300 to 8,500 students,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History: The 1990s )〕 in 1993 therefore it was decided that the College should become open to undergraduates.〔 The expansion of student numbers also resulted in the creation of more accommodation by the University which was named 'Halifax Court'; the members of Halifax Court were members of other colleges however soon formed their own Junior Common Room.〔 In 2002 Halifax Court was made a full College of the University and was renamed as Halifax College, York. In 2003, the university set out plans to create a campus for 5,000 additional students, Heslington East. In May 2008 the City of York planners approved the design for the new campus. It was decided that rather than create a new College that an existing College should be moved. Goodricke College was selected for this and moved onto the new campus in 2009 with James taking over its building on Heslington West. In 2012 the same process took place with Langwith moving to Heslington East and Derwent taking over its previous buildings. In 2014 Heslington College saw the establishment of the ninth college and was named Constantine after the Roman emperor Constantine the Great, who was proclaimed Augustus in York in 306 AD.〔 As part of a major redevelopment of the Heslington West campus there are plans to build a currently unnamed tenth college in the near future, popularly referred to as 'College Ten'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constantine to be followed by College Ten )〕 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「Colleges of the University of York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
