<p> | <p> [[County]] town of Cambridgeshire, stands in flat country, on the Cam, 28 m. NE. of London; an ancient city, with interesting archæological remains; there are some fine buildings, the oldest round church in England, [[Holy]] Sepulchre, and a [[Roman]] [[Catholic]] church. The glory of the city is the University, founded in the 12th century, with its colleges housed in stately buildings, chapels, libraries, museums, &c., which shares with [[Oxford]] the academic prestige of England. It lays emphasis on mathematical, as Oxford on classical, culture. [[Among]] its eminent men have been Bacon, Newton, Cromwell, Pitt, Thackeray, Spenser, Milton, Dryden, Wordsworth, and Tennyson. </p> | ||
