As the oldest university in the english speaking world. Oxford is a unique and
historic institution. There is no clear date of
founddation , but teaching existed at oxford in some from in 1096 and
developed rapidly from 1167, when henry is banned english students from attending from university of paris.
In 1188, the historian , gerald of wales, gave a public
reading to the assemblyed oxford dons
and in 1190 the arrival of emo of friestand, the first known overseas student,
set in motion the university’s tradition
of international links. By 1201, the university
was headed by a magister scolarum oxonie, on whom the tittle of
chanceillor was con ferred 1214, and in 1231 the masters were recognized as a
universitas or corporation.
In the 13th century,rioting between town and gown
(townpeople and students) hastened the establishment of primitive halls of
residence. These were succeded by the first of oxford’s colleges, which
began as medieval halls of residence or
endowed houses under the supervision of a master. University, battiol and
marton colleges, which were established between 1249 and 1264, are the oldest.
Less than a century later,oxford had achieved eminence above
every other seat of learning, and won praises of popes,kings and sages by virtue
of its invaluable contribution and privileges in 1355, Edward paid tribute to
the university for its invaluable contribution to learning . he also commented
on the services rendened to the state by distinguished oxford graduates.
