4. Read the text about Cambridge and find exciting facts about Cambridge University. Cambridge

My visit to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions—and they go back so far. Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the Past, the Present and even the Future.

The story of the University begins, as far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cam­bridge after they had walked 60 miles from Oxford. These students had been studying in Oxford at that city's well-known schools. It was a hard life at Oxford for there was constant trouble between the people living in the town and the students. Then one day a student accidentally killed a man of the town. The Mayor (Map) arrested three other students who were inno­cent (невиновны) and they were put to death. In protest, all the students moved elsewhere, some coming to Cambridge; and so the new University began.

The Colleges join one another along the curve (изгиб) of the river Cam. Going through a college gate one finds one is standing in an almost square space of about 70 square yards (the size varies from college to col­lege) known as the "court" or quadrangle (quad). Looking down into the court on all sides are the buildings where the students live. The Colleges are built on a plan common to all. There is a chapel (часовня), a library and a large dining-hall. The student gets a clear idea of much of the English architectural styles of the past 600 years — the bad as well as the good.

There are nineteen colleges, including two for women students which were built near the end of the last century* (women students do not have a very active part in University life at Cambridge by the way, but they work harder than men and one seldom sees them outside of the classrooms).
