Encyclopedia > Cambridge blue

A Blue is earned by sportsmen at Cambridge University in one of thirteen designated sports (e.g. athletics, cricket, rowing, rugby) when they play against Oxford University teams. It is a much-coveted prize.


The colour of a Cambridge Blue scarf is a very light blue, in contrast to the dark blue of the other university.


Cambridge blues are awarded at the discretion of the Blues Committee (http://www.sport.cam.ac.uk/committees/meetings.html).

University of Cambridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3577 words)
Cambridge is a member of the Russell Group, a network of large, research-led British universities, the Coimbra Group, an association of leading European universities, and the LERU, the League of European Research Universities.
Cambridge's status as a University is further confirmed by a decree in 1233 from Pope Gregory IX which awarded the ius non trahi extra (a form of legal protection) to the chancellor and universitas of scholars at Cambridge.
Cambridge has a distinctive one-to-one or one-to-two supervisions system for the teaching of undergraduates (typically by academic staff, and often by graduate students in the larger subjects), very similar to the tutorial system at Oxford.
