"Where is the university？"This is a question that many visitors to Cambridge ask．But no one can give them an exact answer，for there is no wall to be found around the university．The university is the city．You can find classroom buildings，libraries，museums and offices of the university all over the city．And most of its members are the students and teachers of the thirty﹣one colleges．

    Cambridge was already a town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago．It grew up by the river Cranta，and the river was once called the Cam．A bridge was built over the river as early as 875．So the town got its name"Cambridge"．

    In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries more and more land was for college buildings．The town grew much faster in the nineteenth century after the opening of the railway in 1845Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has a population of over 100，000．
