Dar ul-Funun ((ペルシア語:دارالفنون) (:dɒːɾolfʊˈnuːn), meaning "Polytechnic"), established in 1851, was the first modern university and modern institution of higher learning in Persia (Iran). ==Introduction== Founded by Amir Kabir, then the royal vizier to Nasereddin Shah, the Shah of Persia, Dar al-Funun originally was conceived as a polytechnic to train upper-class Persian youth in medicine, engineering, military science, and geology. It was similar in scope and purpose to American land grant colleges like Purdue and Texas A&M. Like them, it developed and expanded its mission over the next hundred years, eventually becoming the University of Tehran.〔For an illustrated report on Dar ol-Fonoun see: Hamid-Reza Hosseini, ''Dar ol-Fonoun in want of love'' ("Dar ol-Fonoun dar hasrat-e eshgh"), in Persian, Jadid Online, September 22, 2008, ().

Facilities such as an assembly hall, a theater, library, cafeteria, and a publishing house were built for the institute. In 1930, the building was destroyed by Mirza Yahya Khan Qaragozlu (also known as Etemad-od-Dowleh), then Minister of Education, and rebuilt based on a Russian engineering design. Many parts of the institute were later on absorbed and merged into the newly establishing Tehran University. The Faculty of Medicine for example, was particularly the successor to the Dar ul-Funun Department of Medicine, established in 1851, which had become the School of Medicine (Madreseh-ye tebb) in 1919.〔''Encyclopædia Iranica'': http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/faculties-v〕 The elite school was training 287 students by 1889, and had graduated 1100 students by 1891. During this time, the faculty consisted of 16 European, and 26 Iranian professors. 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「Dar ul-Funun (Persia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
