		Cambridge is a member of the Russell Group of Universities, a network of large, research-led British universities; the Coimbra Group, an association of leading European universities; and the LERU, League of European Research Universities.
		However, in 1536, in conjunction with the dissolution of the monasteries, King Henry VIII ordered the university to disband its Faculty of Canon Law and to stop teaching "scholastic philosophy." This led to a change in the focus of the colleges' curricula — away from canon law and towards the classics, the Bible, and mathematics.
		In Japan, there is a Cambridge and Oxford Society[4], a rare example of the name Cambridge coming before Oxford — traditionally, the order used when referring to both universities is "Oxford and Cambridge", even though "C" precedes "O" in the Latin alphabet.

	Cambridge Independent Podcast
		It has been a couple of months since our last podcast, and what with submissions drying up, and both Matt and I facing dissertation deadlines, finals and then the rest of our lives (hopefully spent outside of Cambridge), it seems that the podcast is now on an indefinate hiatus.
		We got a lot of listeners, a lot of media attention, and we had a lot of fun, but our wider hopes of fleshing out the still-divided music scene in Cambridge were never fulfilled.
		Luckily there are still people with the time and energy to help try and make this happen - including a number of other Cambrige podcasts and websites like cambridgebands.com, a task for which I applaud them, and wish them the best of luck.

		The Cambridge Union Society has sparked anger among academics and students by inviting two of the most controversial men in Britain into its debating chamber.
		Defending the decision, Shaphur Kabraji, president elect of the union, which is the university's biggest student debating group with 4,000 members, said he felt the society had "a duty to hold this debate" as it was a question being asked around the world.
		He argued the union was "not proving a point about freedom of speech", particularly because speakers had to abide by its rules, and could be silenced by the audience.
