Cambridge University


Oxford University's younger but undeservedly more valued sibling in East Anglia.

Responsible for a few moderately good things in the universe: DNA was an alumnus, CUSFS was born there, and more recently Oxford Romance? (of which TL and ARC are members) was founded by Cambridge students. And, after all, every great good needs an evil nemesis.

Also 300-year stamping ground of one Reg Chronotis, as will shortly have been recorded in no fewer than three separate works. Apparently the older Cambridge colleges are sufficiently discreet that one may live in the same set of rooms for several centuries without exciting gossip. Mind you, Cambridge public transport, roads, pavements, and town planning are so collectively poor that once in, it probably would take you 300-odd years to get out. -- WJR
