CAMBRIDGE.
Cambridge is the second oldest University city in Britain after Oxford. It lies on the river Cam and takes its name from this river. Cambridge was founded in 1284. Now there are twenty two colleges in Cambridge. The first women's college was opened in 1869. The ancient buildings, chapels, libraries and colleges are in the center of the city (cherkovlar). There are many museums in the old university city. Its population consists mostly of teachers and students. All students have to live in the college during their course.
In the old times the students' life was very strict (eski vaqtda talabchan). They were not allowed to play games, to sing, to hunt or even to fish or even to dance. They wore special dark clothes which they continue to wear in our days (kiyiladi). In the streets of Cambridge you can see young men wearing dark blue and black clothes and the «squares»-the academic caps (to’rt burchakli shapka). Many great men had studied at Cambridge, among them Cromwell, Newton, Byron, Yennyson, Darwin. The great Russian scientist LP. Pavlov came to Cambridge to receive the degree of the Honorary Doctor of Cambridge (Kembrij universitetining faxriy doktorlik unvoni). The students presented him with a toy dog then (qo’g’irchoq kuchuk). Now Cambridge is known all over the world as a great center of science; many scientists such as Rutherford, Kapitsa and others worked there.
