Cambridge, ENGLAND - University of Cambridge - College Coats of Arms For Sale

Cambridge, ENGLAND - University of Cambridge - College Coats of Arms: The University of Cambridge is composed of 31 colleges in addition to the academic departments and administration of the central university. Until the mid-19th century, both Cambridge and Oxford comprised a group of colleges with a small central university administration, rather than universities in the common sense. Cambridge\'s colleges are communities of students, academics and staff – an environment in which generations and academic disciplines are able to mix, with both students and fellows experiencing \"the breadth and excellence of a top University at an intimate level\". The University of Cambridge has 31 colleges, founded between the 13th and 20th centuries. No colleges were founded between 1596 (Sidney Sussex College) and 1800 (Downing College), which allows the colleges to be distinguished into two groups according to foundation date:- the 16 \"old\" colleges, founded between 1284 and 1596, and- the 15 \"new\" colleges, founded between 1800 and 1977.The oldest college is Peterhouse, founded in 1284, and the newest is Robinson, founded in 1977. Homerton, which was first founded in the eighteenth century as a dissenting academy (and later teacher training college), attained full college status in 2010.
