OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE

For most people in Great Britain the word "University" means either Oxford or Cambridge although there are 45 universities in the country.

The city of Oxford lies not far from London,, There is no single building which is the University in Oxford. There are 30 colleges instead which are spread all over the city and which together make up a University where 10 000 students study.

The head of the University as a whole is the Chancellor. He is usually a well-known figure in public life, an M. P. who lives in London and plays only a small part in the running of the University.

the of finance, staffing, relations with trade-unions, with government and outside world. The Vice-Chancellor is chosen from among the heads of the 30 colleges who are called the principals of colleges.

Each of the 30 colleges specializes in a different field. Religion, however, is a compulsory subject in every college.

The names of the colleges show this close link of the University with the Church: Christ Church College, All Souls College, Jesus College, St. Anne's College, St. Catherine's College and so on.

Note: When both universities are mentioned the order is "Oxford and Cambridge". It is a custom of speech since Oxford is the older of the two universities.

Most colleges are independent of the British government and must have their own financial resources to draw upon since the government allocates none. Colleges' money comes from the students' tuition fees which are very high in Oxford as well as from investments, wills, gifts, "generosity and benefaction" of the wealthier members of a particular college. For instance, Christ Church college accepts annually gifts from the Queen thankful to the College for her father, King Charles I who lived here during the war. Because of the lack of adequate financial backing no new buildings were errected on the campuses of most colleges during several centuries and no repair was done.

In Britain the university year is from October to June, with three terms from eight to twelve weeks. Both in Oxford and Cambridge each student has a tutor to whom he goes every week: for a tutorial. At the tutorial they discuss the work in hand –generally an essay which the student has written that week. He also has some eight lectures a week which are not compulsory.

Graduating or gaining a degree, is the aim of all University students. To get a degree, students usually have to stay at the University for at least three years, during which time they have to sit preliminary examinations as well as the final ones at the end of the course.

The first degree given a person by a college is that of a Bachelor. The Bachelor's degree which is most common in Britain can be taken in a number of subjects. Arts degree, for instance, may be taken in subjects ranging from English literature, classics and

history to foreign languages. A person who has obtained the first Arts degree will be known as a Bachelor of Arts. A Science degree can be taken in physics, mathematics, engineering and economics. A person who has been given this degree is called a Bachelor of Science.

Same graduates then go on to more specialised research work in their own subject, and after submitting the results of their work in the form of a thesis they may obtain either the Master's degree or a Doctorate - the highest degree given by a University.

College graduates are not guaranteed any jobs. They have to recourse to public and private employment agencies to get a job which with unemployment in the country is not an easy thing.

Текст 4

The professors and lecturers of the University ("fellows") as well as the students ("undergraduates") must wear academic dress at lectures, in the University dining-room, in Chapel and in the town streets after dark..

There is a special official in Oxford known as the "Proctor", whose duty is to see that this rule is obeyed.

Wearing his academic dress he walks about the chief streets of the town, accompanied by two college servants who are known as his "bulldogs". If a student is seen: without his cap or gown the "bulldogs" are told to catch him. When caught the student is taken to the Proctor who asks, "Your name and college, sir?". The student has to visit the principal of his college later, who orders him to pay a fine. If the rule is disobeyed several times the principal may rusticate a student.

Note: The academic dress includes such necessary articles as a cap, a black gown and a white

tie. The origin of the dress goes to the middle ages.

The English are great lovers of sports. So each college has its teams for all main sports, the most popular of which are rowing and cricket.

The University Boat Races are the oldest of the sporting competitions between Oxford and Cambridge. The name given to the race competitions in the Summer Term is "May Week". Somebody once observed that it.is called May Week because it's held in June and lasts a fortnight.
