	Cambridge, England (Borough) - LoveToKnow Watches
		Cambridge, in fact, owed its growth to its position on a natural line of communication between the east and the midlands of England, flanked on the one hand by the deep forests which covered the uplands, on the other by the unreclaimed fens, then desolate and in great part impenetrable.
		Cambridge had a further importance from its position at the head of river navigation, and a charter of Henry I., in which the town is already referred to as a borough, grants it exclusive rights as a river-port, and regulates traffic and tolls.
		The revenues of the university are derived chiefly from fees at matriculation, for certain examinations, and for degrees, from a tax upon all members of the university, and from contributions by the colleges, together with the profits of the University Press.

	List of Professorships at the University of Cambridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the early history of the University of Cambridge, the title professor simply denoted a doctor who taught in the university, a usage that continues to be found in, for example, US universities.
		However, from the 16th century onwards in Cambridge it was used to denote those holding "chairs" that had been founded by the university in a particular subject or endowed by a benefaction.
		On occasion the University of Cambridge creates Professorships for the benefit of a single individual, the chair ceasing to exist when that individual resigns, dies, or retires.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: University of Cambridge
		In Cambridge, as at Oxford, the earliest colleges made use of the nearest parish church as their place of worship, and Pembroke, which dates from 1347, was the first which had from the beginning a chapel for its members within its own precincts.
		The Cambridge University system may be defined as one which subjects all candidates for degrees, and for all university and college distinctions, to the test of competitive examinations, held at fixed intervals, and which allows the preparation and study for these examinations to be held whenever, and in whatever way, the individual thinks proper.
		The general discipline of the university, for which the senate is responsible, is in the hands of the proctors, two members of their body nominated annually by the different colleges in turn.

	University of Cambridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The universities of Oxford and Cambridge, often referred to together as Oxbridge, vie to be seen as the strongest overall university in the UK (see Oxbridge rivalry).
		Cambridge is a member of the Russell Group, 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.
		Although the university now offers courses in a large number of subjects, it had a particularly strong emphasis on mathematics from the time of Isaac Newton until the mid-19th century, and study of this subject was compulsory for graduation.

	About the Faculty - Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge
		Law has been studied and taught in Cambridge since the thirteenth century, when the core subjects of legal study in all European universities were Civil law (the law of ancient Rome) and the Canon law of the Church.
		Academical legal learning was cosmopolitan; Cambridge doctors of law practised in the ecclesiastical and admiralty courts, assisted the nation in foreign embassies, and discoursed on law, justice and government in philosophical and comparative terms.
		Cambridge judicial alumni include a former President as well as a current member of the International Court of Justice, two former judges of the European Court of Justice, and several members of the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords and of the Court of Appeal.

	Institutional audit - University of Cambridge
		An appendix to the SED for the current audit listed the actions promised in the 1993 response and the progress made in achieving them in the intervening nine years, while emphasising that 'the key characteristics which underpin the University's approach to educational provision and its quality assurance...remain fundamentally unchanged...and are likely to remain so'.
		The University's performance in these reviews has been outstanding, with all of the subjects visited between 1993 to 1995 rated as 'excellent' and all of those visited between 1996 to 2001 'approved', with almost all aspects of provision in all subjects judged to be making a full contribution to the attainment of the stated objectives.
		The University is resistant to the notion of collecting student feedback through a centrally organised survey, arguing, among other reasons, that 'were local arrangements to be inadequate, this would quickly become known (and resolved) through one or more of the extensive opportunities for formal representation of student views'.

	University of Cambridge: a Brief History - the Georgian/Hanoverian University
		Printing had been undertaken in Cambridge in the 1520s and a Royal charter in 1534 gave to the University the power to name (or license) three printers (stationers) who were to print and publish works which it approved.
		This is reflected in the rapid establishment by the University and by private donors of a series of professorships for mathematics (the Lucasian), chemistry, astronomy (the Plumian), anatomy, botany, geology (the Woodwardian), astronomy and geometry (the Lowndean), and experimental philosophy.
		The University Library had expanded with the rest of the University during the later seventeenth century, and after the gift by George I of the manuscripts and books of Bishop John Moore, it outgrew its original quarters in the Old Schools.

	Pamela Jane Smith
		Although women became eligible for all University teaching offices and for membership to Faculties and Faculty Boards under Cambridge University’s New Statutes of 1926, they were still not admissible to degrees and could not thus become members of the Senate and the Regent House.
		Cambridge was the only University in Britain offering an undergraduate degree specialising in prehistoric archaeology and prehistory was considered a ‘hobby pursuit,’ and a ‘last resort’ or ‘soft’ option (Saumarez Smith, Duke, Thatcher and others, personal correspondence and in conversation, 1998).
		She was unaccustomed to the often sharp style of Cambridge institutional interactions and was uncomfortable with the verbal sparring and sarcastic retorts which were an acceptable part of the negotiating process.
