Early records indicate that the university grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge, England, probably formed in 1209 by scholars escaping from the University of Oxford after a fight with local townsmen.
However, in 1536, in conjunction with the dissolution of the monasteries, King Henry VIII ordered the university to disband its Faculty of Canon Law and to stop teaching "scholastic philosophy." This led to a change in the focus of the colleges' curricula — away from canon law and towards the classics, the Bible, and mathematics.
Rowing is a particularly popular sport and there are competitions between colleges (notably the bumps races) and against Oxford (the Boat Race).
