3. New European
universities founded
Three of Europe's
leading cities, Paris, France, and Bologna, Italy, developed universities
in the past century. In England, an important university began to
develop in a town called Oxford. This minor center of learning gained
prominence when hostility between England and France forced English
students to pursue their education at home rather than at the University
of Paris.
