Trinity College 都柏林大學聖三一學院

在倫敦的鋼琴戰曲聲中，冬日飛愛爾蘭都柏林，一日來回。中港家長對於英語世界的大學名牌，只認得牛津劍橋，和大西洋彼岸的哈佛耶魯。但是中間的愛爾蘭都柏林大學聖三一學院，也是牛津劍橋的姊妹大學。只因為愛爾蘭從來不曾成為帝國主義，而且還反抗英國而獨立；而英美兩強是帝國主義，愛爾蘭都柏林的名校，方為中國人所忽略。

要崇拜帝國和殖民主義，才知道什麼叫精英教育。由孫中山開始，中國人高喊反對帝國主義，叫了一百年，崇拜教育名牌，卻只跟從帝國主義認證。

Trinity College (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide), officially The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin,^[1] is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university in Dublin, Ireland.^[10] Queen Elizabeth I issued a royal charter for the college in 1592 as "the mother of a university" that was modelled after the collegiate universities of both Oxford and Cambridge,^[11] but unlike these affiliated institutions, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations "Trinity College" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for administrative purposes.^[12]

Trinity is Ireland's oldest and highest-ranking university, retaining a reputation as a research-intensive centre.^[13][14] Academically, it is divided into three faculties comprising 23 schools, offering degree and diploma courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.^[15] The admission procedure is based exclusively on academic merit,^[16] with the college being known for programs in law, literature and humanities.^[17]

Trinity College Dublin is one of the seven ancient universities of Great Britain and Ireland,^[18][19] and it is a sister college to both St John's College, Cambridge, and Oriel College, Oxford.^[20][21] By incorporation, a graduate of Dublin, Oxford or Cambridge can be conferred the equivalent degree at either of the other two without further examination.^[22] The Library of Trinity College is a legal deposit for Ireland and the United Kingdom, being the largest library in the country and housing the Book of Kells since 1661.^[23]

The university has educated many of Ireland's most successful poets, playwrights and authors, including Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, William Trevor, John Millington Synge, Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Moore and William Congreve; Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett, Ernest Walton, Mairead Maguire and William Cecil Campbell; former Presidents of Ireland Douglas Hyde, Éamon de Valera, Mary Robinson, and Mary McAleese; philosophers George Berkeley and Edmund Burke; as well as mathematicians George Salmon, Robert Mallet, Bartholomew Lloyd, George Johnstone Stoney and William Rowan Hamilton. Notable faculty members and lecturers at the university included Humphrey Lloyd, J. B. Bury, Erwin Schrödinger and E. T. Whittaker.
