   The University is an administrative centre which arranges lectures for all
students of the colleges, holds examinations and gives degrees.
   The tutorial system of education used both in Oxford and Cambridge is one of
the ways in which Oxbridge differs from other English Universities. Every student
has a tutor in charge of planning his work and discussing its results with the
student; the student’s duty is to regularly see his tutor and submit papers and
essays. The tutorial system of education brings the student into personal contact
with his tutor, the latter trying to influence the social and political life of the
student.
   The academic year in England has three terms; each term lasts from eight to ten
weeks. Terminal examinations take place at the end of autumn, spring and summer
terms. Final examinations take place at the end of the course of studies. If a student
fails in an examination, he may be allowed to take the exam again, only two re-
examinations being usually allowed.(1461)
