Cambridge is the second oldest university in Britain. Cambridge University was opened in 1284 with the construction of the first college, Peterhouse. At present Cambridge University comprises twenty eight colleges of which one is only for men and two of them are women’s colleges (the first women’s college was opened in 1869); the remaining twenty five take both men and women.
Lying on the river Cam, the city of Cambridge takes its name from the river. The old university city where mostly teachers and students live is full of ancient buildings, chapels and libraries; college buildings are located there, too.
In the old times student’s life was full of restrictions. Students of Cambridge were not allowed to play games, sing, hunt, and fish or even to dance; they had to wear special dark clothes and the “squares”, the academic caps they still wear in our days. During the course all students have to live in the college; there are at present over 9 000 students in residence.
Cambridge has won international fame as the university were historical figures and personalities of literature and science received their education, Cromwell, Newton, Byron, Tennyson and Darwin among them. The great Russian scientist I.P. Pavlov came to Cambridge to receive the degree of the Honorary Doctor of Cambridge. Cambridge University has made the city of Cambridge internationally famous as a centre of science where Rutherford, Kapitza and other famous scientists have worked.
