Features: As the sister school of the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge shares the same long history, unique collegiate system and tutorial system, as well as a prestigious position in the field of international education. Compared to Oxford, Cambridge is stronger in science and engineering. If we compare Oxford to Peking University in China, then Cambridge is undoubtedly the "Tsinghua of water and wood." In the annual Nobel Prize rankings, the University of Cambridge, with its strong research capabilities in science and technology, consistently ranks at the top, with its members holding over 60 Nobel Prizes in total. In contrast, across the Atlantic, Harvard University only has 35; even Oxford University, the "leading dragon" of higher education in the English-speaking world, can only trail behind. This book primarily features inspiring speeches delivered by renowned alumni of the University of Cambridge on its lecture platforms and around the world, while also selecting some manuscripts by famous British figures.
