Cambridge
University
Cambridge
University is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world (after
the University of Oxford) and the seventh-oldest in the world. The story of
Cambridge University begins in 1209 when several hundred students arrived in
the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. These
students were all churchmen and had been studying in Oxford at that city's
well-known schools. It was a hard life at Oxford for there was constant
trouble, even fighting, between the citizens of the town and the students. Then
one day a student accidentally killed a man of the town. The Mayor arrested
three other students who were innocent and they were put to death. In protest,
many students left Oxford, some of them went to Cambridge. And so the new
University began. It was Cambridge University. Of course, there were no
Colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it
is now. Students were of all ages and came from anywhere and everywhere. Life
in College was strict. Students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except
sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. Books were very rare and all
the lessons were in the Latin language which students were supposed to speak
even among themselves. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King's College, and other
colleges followed. Nowadays there are more than 30 different colleges,
including five for women students and several mixed colleges, in the
University. The number of students in colleges is different: from 30 to 400 or
500. There are many ancient traditions that are still observed at Cambridge.
Students are required to wear gowns at lectures, in the University library, in
the street in the evening, for dinners in the colleges and for official visits.
One more tradition is to use Latin during public ceremonies of awarding
degrees. All the students must pay for their education, examinations, books,
laboratories, university hostel, the use of libraries. The cost is high. It
depends on college and university speciality. Very few students get grants. Many
great men studied at Cambridge, for example, Bacon (the philosopher), Milton
and Byron (the poets), Cromwell (the soldier), Newton (the outstanding
physicist), Darwin (who is famous for his theory of evolution) and Kapitsa (the
famous Russian physicist).
