In the old times students' life was full of restrictions. Students of Cambridge were not allowed to play games, sing, hunt, fish and even to dance. They had to wear special dark clothes and the "squares", the academic caps which they still wear in our days. During the course all students have to live in the college. There are at present over 9,000 students at the university.
Cambridge has won international fame as the university where historical figures and personalities of literature and science received their education, Cromwell, Newton, Byron, Tennyson and Darwin among them. The great Russian scientist I.P. Pavlov came to Cambridge to receive the Doctor's Degree. Rutherford, Kapitza and other famous scientists have worked there.
