📜 The History of Oxbridge
The "Oxbridge" rivalry is arguably the most famous academic rivalry in history. It began in 1209 when scholars fleeing violence in Oxford settled in Cambridge, establishing a new university.
While they often collaborate today, the competition remains intense in league tables, research citations, and the number of Prime Ministers produced.
