Chapter 477: Oxford university



   As early as 1167, Oxford University was established in Oxford, Oxfordshire.

  Oxford is definitely related to cattle.

   Legend has it that the ancient cattle waded through the place, hence the name Oxford (Oxford).

   Before the twelfth century, there were no universities in England.

  In 1167, Henry II, the founder of the Plantagenet Dynasty in England, had a quarrel with the French king and recalled all the English scholars studying in Paris, so Oxford University was established.

  By 1563, there were sixteen colleges in Oxford, and thousands of college students were studying here.

  The time has come to late December again, and the city of Oxford is buzzing.

  As the only university in England, Oxford University not only receives the attention of the church, but also the nobles and the royal family.

   In the second year after the official admission examination appeared in England, Oxford University ushered in a wave of enrollment boom.

   You know, Oxford University used to be basically a place to train priests, and it received very little attention, and there were only a few hundred students in the school.

   You can become an official by passing the exam, which has hit the minds of the English people like never before.

  Knowledge changes destiny, this proverb suddenly became popular throughout England.

  As a base for cultivating knowledge, Oxford University has suddenly become a popular place where people are vying for enthusiasm.

  First of all, His Majesty the King issued a decree to take Oxford University from the Anglican sect and hand it over to the president and senior leaders of Oxford University.

   Moreover, the royal family will subsidize 10,000 pounds per year as the food and clothing of the students.

   Then, in order to train their own priests, the Anglican sect still provided strong financial support.

   In order to expand the political influence of the family, the nobles also began to support some poor college students to expand their influence.

   Rather than looking for it from all over England, it is better to find it directly at Oxford University and Cambridge University, at least the success rate is higher.

   As a result, Oxford University rapidly expanded its enrollment, and the number of students soared, reaching more than 1,200 students each year.

  After the end of the London official admission selection examination on August 8th every year, generally speaking, each county will start a new round of examination qualification selection in late December.

   On December 27th, Oxford University is conducting a general mobilization of the whole university.

  Because the qualification exam is approaching, most of the students have already returned to their hometowns, and there are only more than 100 people left to take the qualification exam for the place of household registration.

  On the school grass, there were more than a hundred people standing neatly. They were full of vigor and vitality, and their faces were full of red, looking excitedly at the high platform in front of them.

  On the high platform, a very clever 60-year-old man, dressed in a gentleman\'s suit, with a medium build and a big belly, was wearing a pair of glasses, waving his arms, and talking loudly.

  The scholarly temperament of the past dissipated without a trace, and now he is like an old man quarreling in the countryside, which makes people look hard.

   "Students, tomorrow is the annual qualification examination in Oxfordshire. Tomorrow, ten people will be selected, who can go to London to take the official examination next year!"

  The old man stared at the eyes of many young students below, and continued:

   "That is to say, more than a hundred of you will compete with other people in the county for ten places!"

  As the president of Oxford University, he certainly hoped that all ten people came from his own school, so that he could have face.

   "No matter who gets the quota successfully, what I hope is that you can continue to strive for glory for Oxford University like your predecessors!"

  The old principal looked at the students who were a little nervous by his words, nodded involuntarily and continued.

  In the audience, although many people were still listening on the surface, they began to discuss in private.

   "William, are you sure you can get into the top ten?" In the audience, a tall and thin young man with pimples on his face asked nervously about a young man beside him.

  The young man on the side looked bookish, of medium height, with eyes, long blond hair, and a handsome face. Among the more than 100 people, his appearance was also in the forefront.

  He was lowering his head slightly, wondering what William was thinking about, when suddenly the voice of his friend came to his ears, and he woke up from his thoughts, and said helplessly:

   "How do I know. It is conservatively estimated that the number of references in the entire Oxfordshire tomorrow will reach more than 500 people. It is very difficult to squeeze into the top ten!"

   "I believe in you, William!" The tall and thin man said confidently with a confident expression on his face:

   "In the whole university, your grades are also among the best, and you have great advantages in Latin and politics. I have great confidence in you."

   "Eh—" William looked helplessly at his friend Brown\'s confident expression.

  There are so many talents in Oxfordshire! Who can be confident that it will pass? Even nobles do not have the confidence to win.

   "Tomorrow, the two of us will take the exam together, then we will get the qualifications together, and then we will go to Paris to take the exam together, and become officials together! Hahahaha! This is the real life..."

  William looked at his friend a little speechlessly, and then looked at his smug and proud expression. He felt that the contemptuous eyes around him were enough to shame the dead.

   I\'m still a college student, don\'t you know the virtue of modesty?

   "Hey! The principal is still on stage, keep a low profile!" Pulling his friend\'s sleeve, William stroked his face with his right hand, reminding him in embarrassment.

  Brown realized that this was in public, and he looked around in embarrassment, with mocking and sarcastic eyes, which made him want to dig a hole to bury himself in shame.

   Fortunately, the principal\'s next speech on the stage diverted everyone\'s attention.

   "On August 8 this year, 400 people from all over England took the exam, and only 40 people were admitted!"

  Speaking of forty people, the principal couldn\'t help elongating his tone, raised his chin proudly, stretched out eight fingers arrogantly, and said arrogantly:

   "Eight people, forty people, eight people came out of our Oxford University, two more than Cambridge University!"

  Suddenly, there was a sound of inhalation from the audience, and then there was a burst of warm applause.

   The applause lasted for nearly half a minute. This is not only a pride for the alma mater, but also a hope for the future.

   "So, don\'t let your alma mater down, next year, I hope to see your names among the forty people!

  Masters, please work hard! "

   There was another burst of warm applause from the audience.

  Afterwards, the deans of various colleges also took the stage to speak, nothing more than some encouragement, and the whole morning flew by.

  At Cambridge University, a mobilization meeting is also held, surpassing Oxford and becoming their goal for next year.

   While the weird peace continued in France, in England, because of the county selection exams, the whole of England became hot.

  Fame and wealth, everyone yearns for it.
