	ScienceDaily: University of Cambridge
		Cambridge's status as a University is further confirmed by a decree in 1233 from Pope Gregory IX which awarded the ius non trahi extra (a form of legal protection) to the chancellor and universitas of scholars at Cambridge.
		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.
		The universities of Cambridge and Oxford are jointly referred to by the portmanteau term Oxbridge: the two universities have a long history of competing with each other.

	Oxford University Gazette: Vice-Chancellor's Oration (supplement)
		This past year has also seen the retirement of colleagues who have given distinguished service to the University.
		While the University certainly cannot claim to be directly responsible for the whole of this profile, there is no doubt that its presence has been and remains a powerful engine for such development and underscores the University's importance to the local economy.
		Nonetheless, irrespective of the length of the process, we have been able to convince the Secretary of State for Education and Employment that Oxford and its colleges are the home of definable excellence in teaching as well as research.

	Oxford University Gazette: retiring Vice-Chancellor's Oration (Supplement)
		However, whether one believes or not in a personal financial contribution from students, this University certainly subscribes to the principle that also informs this legislation—that is, no one should be deterred from seeking entry to a university of his or her choice by financial considerations.
		I am very glad that we were able to use the newly created Sheldon Medal to honour the two most significant benefactors in recent years, both of whom have enabled the University to make step changes.
		Indeed, we need to remember that universities are about exploring the universality of knowledge, about seeking the understanding of complex issues in all the domains of the individual human mind and body, of human society, and of the natural and physical world which enfolds human beings.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk higher news Tax breaks could attract university donors, says trust
		In a report on university endowments, the Sutton Trust, which he chairs, pointed out the stark contrast between the situation in the UK and the US - where Oxford and Cambridge would rank no higher than 15th in the league of wealthy institutions.
		The average state university receives £7,500 per student, the average private university £11,000 and the top privates £16,000, compared to a funding level of £5,000 per student for a UK university.
		When it comes to fundraising, targeting by universities of types of alumni or wealthy donors is in its infancy.

	The University of Melbourne 150th Anniversary
		The scholars that founded Cambridge were also escaping attacks from the townsfolk of Oxford, and the monarchs of England and subsequently their governments were to exert influence on the University’s activities again and again in the centuries to come.
		My two years as a member of the Council gave me the opportunity to witness first hand how these have been accomplished and I especially congratulate the two Chancellors, Sir Edward Woodward and Ms Fay Miles, and the Vice-Chancellor, Alan Gilbert who presided during my term.
		As we have seen, this university began as an institution of the state, and funded by it.
