1. Read and render the text “Universities”.

The word ‘university’ comes from the Latin word ‘universitas’, meaning ‘the whole’. Later, in Latin legal language ‘universitas’ meant ‘a society, guild or corporation’. Thus, in mediaeval academic use the word meant an association of teachers and scholars. The modern definition of a university is ‘an institution that teaches and examines students in many branches of advanced learning, awarding degrees and providing facilities for academic research’.

The origins of universities can be traced back to the Middle Ages, especially the 12 – 14th centuries. In the early 12th century, long before universities were organised in the modern sense, students gathered together for higher studies at certain centres of learning. The earliest centres in Europe were at Bologna in Italy, for law, founded in 1088; Salerno in 1115, Italy for medicine; and Paris, France, for philosophy and theology, founded in 1150. Other early ones in Europe were at Prague, Czechoslovakia, founded in 1348; Vienna, Austria, founded in 1365; and Heidelberg, Germany, founded in 1386.

The first universities in England were established at Oxford in 1185 and at Cambridge in 1209. The first Scottish university was founded at St. Andrews in 1412. By comparison, the oldest universities in the U.S.A. are at Harvard, founded in 1636, and Yale, established in 1701.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, three more universities were founded in Scotland: at Glasgow in 1415, Aberdeen in 1494, and Edinburgh in 1582. The next English university to be founded was not until the 19th century – London, in 1836. This was followed, later in the 19th and early 20th centuries, by the foundation of several civic universities.
