...have originated in the twelfth century. There are now in Europe, no less than a hundred universities, some of them have been in existence several centuries. Germany and Italy alone possess fifty of these institutions; Eolland, Spain, Russia, and Greece, about twenty five, while Great Britain contains about a dozen.
