答案 Both Oxford and Cambridge are historic cities, with a world-famous university. One of the unique features of the university is its college system. The college system at Oxford and Cambridge is unlike that of any other university in Britain or America. In order to enter the university, a student must first apply to a college and become a member of the university through the college. At Oxford and Cambridge, the university is like a loose federation of faculties, colleges and other academic and research institutions. The university arranges the courses, the lectures, and the examinations, and awards the degrees. The colleges, on the other hand, have responsibility for selecting, admitting and accommodating all undergraduate students, and a student cannot enter the university unless he or she also becomes a member of a college. However, the university lays down the admission qualifications for undergraduate students, and also has certain controls over the status of the individual colleges. The colleges at Oxford and Cambridge are not connected with any particular study and are governed by twenty to fifty ’Fellows’. Each Fellow of a college is a ’tutor’ who is a member of the teaching staff. He teaches his own subject to those students in his college who are studying it, and is responsible for their progress. Most tutors give one or two lectures a week and those lectures may be attended by students from any college of the university. No lectures are compulsory and tutors usually advise their students which lectures they should go to. At Oxford and Cambridge, each college has its own completely separate living quarters, its own dining hall, its own sports and social facilities and even its own chapel. Cambridge has three women’s colleges and Oxford has five women’s colleges. Today, the colleges are mainly concerned with the teaching of their undergraduates and the academic support of both graduate and undergraduate students. The colleges also sponsor and assist outstanding scholars and research workers. The role of the university has greatly expanded through the provision of facilities, such as the university library, the teaching and research laboratories. The university may also employ professors, readers, lecturers and other teaching and administrative staff who would provide the formal teaching, such as lectures, seminars and practical classes. The colleges may supplement their teaching with supervisions, given by Fellows or other staff members appointed by the college, and each college also provides library, and other learning resources exclusively for its own members. Apart from Oxford University and Cambridge University, the University of London could also be called a kind of federation of colleges, but the system is entirely different. The largest of the London colleges are like universities in themselves, since there are many different faculties and departments in the colleges. Other colleges, academic institutions or bodies specialise in certain subjects, for example, the London School of Economics and Political Science or the Imperial College of Science and Technology. All the colleges arrange their own lectures and classes, but again, it is the university that organizes the examinations and awards degrees.
