at the
University of Bologna
, the original system was for students to decide what they would learn, and hire and fire teachers as they decided. This is opposed to the system of the
university of Paris
, in which teachers make the final decisions. He mentions that this is the system that the
University of Oxford
and the
University of Cambridge
use: the "congregation". He mentions that
Oxbridge
are one of the few universities that maintained this structure (as opposed to having funding sources select the final decision makers)

mentions the quadrangle architecture which served as the basis of the Colleges: make a closed square with everything students need: Chapel, Hall to eat, classes and accommodation. This is based of course on monastic cloisters.
