User:Miguel Nunez 1119/Ancient university

[Addition to Acts of Parliament]
Wanting to add some information on how the university feared the Chantries Act of 1545, seeing how the king would have the ability to essentially take over the university, and that the university pleaded to the king's wife. Henry then founded Trinity College, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge

[Addition of new body] Origin of the term "University"
Using the "origin of universities and academical degrees" I will differentiate on how the term "University" is different than "college". The source detail on how Cambridge and Oxford universities existed prior to the endowment of a single college.

In this passage I would also explain that there was some misconceptions as to where the term "university" came from. One saying that the term came from their goal of "universal learning". Another was that all corporations where called "universitates". Another saying it derived from the German word "universitas" meaning a corporate town.

A papal bull (1217-1218) was issued that the college of scholars and masters of Cambridge that the studium shall be accounted a university

^This could/might be added into the notes portion for Cambridge in the foundation section. I need to find out which Pope actually issued the papal bull.

[Addition of new body] Teachings of England
This passage would be more focused on how Cambridge and Oxford differed when it came to how each school had different focuses on the courses. I would be more talking about Trivium and Quadrivium. Using the "On the origin of universities and academical degrees" I will explain why Cambridge focused on a more "noble" quadrivium teaching and not doing the same for trivium.

Another thing to note is how degrees have changed over time. Not just on how universities originally had degrees of arts, then degrees of sciences got introduced, but I would go a little into the use of said degree. I found that degrees were originally just licenses to teach, but later became an obligation to teach.

Would go into details of Regents and Non-regents, where it was to essentially mandatory to be a regent for a certain amount of time until you can become a non-regent.

'''Students with a bachelor's degree were obligated to teach a lecture under the presence of another faculty to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. At the university of Cambridge, the student had until their last term to have an experiment as an independent teacher.'''

'''The technical term for teaching in public schools was originally "regere", then it became "regent" for a teacher in schools. The universities' obligation became a necessary-regency for graduates, where for a period of time they are teachers in schools, but then they would get the option to continue as regent or declare themselves as a non-regent. For Cambridge, the term was 5 years for masters or two for doctors; meanwhile at the university of Oxford, it was only limited to one year for their graduates.'''

(Want to see if the ancient universities of Scotland or Ireland had similar experiences when it came to their teachings, for if they are different then I could add another section about those countries. If they are essentially the same then I would just add it onto this section and change the heading of it to "Teachings of UK")
