This name denotes the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, both founded in the medieval period. They are federation of semi-independent colleges, each college having its own staff, known as “Fellows”. Most colleges have their own dining hall, library and chapel and contain enough accommodation for at least half of their students. The Fellows teach college students, either one-to-one or in very small groups (known as “tutorials*” in Oxford, and “supervisions” in Cambridge”. Before 1970 all Oxbridge colleges were single-sex (mostly men). Now the majority admit both sexes.
OXFORD
There has been a town where Oxford now stands for many centuries – even before 912, the first written record of its existence. The University began to establish itself in the middle of the 12th century, and by 1300 there were already 1,500 students. At this time Oxford was a wealthy town, but by the middle of the 14th century it was poorer, because of a decline in trade and because of the terrible plague, which killed many people in England. Relations between the students and the townspeople were very unfriendly, and there was often fighting in the streets. On 10th February 1355, the festival of St Scholastica, a battle began which lasted two days. Sixty-two students were killed. The townspeople were punished for this in two ways: they had to walk through the town to attend a special service on every St Scholastica’s day until 1825. Worse than this, the University was given control of the town for nearly 600 years. Nowadays, there are about 12, 000 students in Oxford, and the University and the town live happily side by side!
