Abstract
This paper discusses how Oxford and Cambridge universities in the United Kingdom share many features, since Cambridge was built by students from Oxford. It considers the various prominent features of both universities in order to identify the similarities and differences. It also examines how both are great examples of different building styles over the centuries. It looks at how Oxford is the oldest university city in the UK, how it features wide streets and has more than 650 buildings listed for their historical or architectural merit. In contrast, Cambridge was not founded as a university city, but as a city of the Roman Empire, founded in 43AD by the Roman emperor Cantabrigensis. The first university was only built in 1134, although many of the fairly insignificant features of the city remained in place.

"Sir Christopher Wren was also involved in the building of the Sheldonian Theater. The classical theatre was Wren's first large scale work. It opend in 1669, and was modelled on the roman theater of Marcellus. Robert Streeter painted the ceiling to give the impression of an open sky. The cuppola gives a view of the city's spires. The theater is currently used for degree cermonies. Additionally, Encaenia, a ceremony taking place during the month of June, takes place here. During this ceremony the founders of the university are remembered, while famous and deserving people also receive honorary degrees. Concerts and lectures are also held here (Pictures of England, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper reviews John Casti's work "The Cambridge Quintet: A Work of Scientific Speculation". It describes Casti's clear bias towards Alan Turing's views and suggests that he did not give Ludwig Wittgenstein the opportunity to argue as strongly as he might. The paper then suggests what Wittgenstein could have been allowed to say in order to strengthen his position.

From the Paper
"While on the surface the reader's immediate inclination may be to agree in spirit with Wittgenstein, his reliance on such metaphorical terms within the construct of human language is a disingenuous and vacuous platform. The terms he employs that refer to emotion are terms that humans themselves often have difficulty agreeing on both in context and in substance. Upon further reflection the rational reader realizes that a machine, just as any human does, can be taught the textbook definition of these terms which forms the foundation of their use. Yet, beyond such topical conceptions, both humans and machines are likely to vary greatly in both degree and application of how these emotions are conceived and used. In that way, machine logic would be no different than typical human communication patterns in conveying meaning."

Abstract
The paper asserts that the author has Wittgenstein basically spouting what the casual reader would consider metaphysical musings which do nothing to support his general thesis which is that human intelligence is unintelligible to all but other humans. Therefore, the paper contends that it is not necessarily what Wittgenstein could have said but how he could have been allowed to say it.

Abstract
In this paper, Collini's argument begins to realize the importance between schools of thought in the 19th century definition of the "idealist" that are brought forth in his article. What is often the case Collini's analysis is the digression of subjective errors in formulating moral thought through the Oxford University, which made no clear attempt at providing an outside or empirical point of view to their findings. Dewey represents a burgeoning Utilitarian revisionist process that allows for a more objective standard for understanding the impact of the individual outside of social norms or institutional (government or university standards) dogma.

From the Paper
"The story of the group of men who became known as the Cambridge Spies is one of the most extended and most extensive cases of Western nationals spying on their own government in the twentieth century. The principal persons involved -- Guy Burgess (1910-63), Donald Maclean (1915-83), Anthony Blunt (1907-83), and "Kim" Philby (1912-88) -- worked on behalf of the Soviet Union throughout World War II and the early Cold War era. Their activities were only very gradually uncovered and the full story has been even more gradually revealed to the public. The opening of the KGB archives in Moscow after the fall of the Soviet Union seems to have brought the exposures to their conclusion -- but there is no saying whether further information might be revealed in years to come. Although a number of other persons were connected with this group's spying on Britain and, less directly..."

From the Paper
"This indicates that 30 per cent of the businesses desire to use new products development to increase its market share. In addition, 37 per cent of the business would expand their geographical location as a means of attracting larger market. However, 33 per cent of the business will adopt other growth strategies such growth resulting from increased customer base as result of improved quality of services. Geographical expansion demand for more capital investment as it involves establishing new branches of the business in other areas within or outside the city. However, developing new products involves introducing new brand of products and services within the same premises of the coffee shop. Therefore, new products require enhancement of product or introducing new products in the market."

Abstract
This paper written from the writer's personal point of view discusses the powerful, yet difficult to understand, speech given by Emerson in which the American author and philosopher attempts to inspire America's youth. This paper details the main points in Emerson's speech which stresses the importance of educators and scholars and the role that they play in academia. The writer attempts to analyze the messages and metaphors used by Emerson in this particular work of writing. The writer contends and explains that while this speech is considered an outstanding piece of literature the style of writing used by Emerson is complicated and the metaphors are confusing. This paper focuses on various quotes from the actual text while pondering the author's primary intent.

From the Paper
"In this oration, he starts off with describing that Man was divided into men to help himself just as the hand was divided into fingers. This is quite confusing and contrary to many religious doctrines. Further Emerson portrays Man as something like God. He states that Man is the master of all trades and professions and only when Man was divided into men, "these functions are parceled out to individuals". He talks about Man being perfect and the men into who Man was divided to be full of flaws. Although I do agree that men have flaws and can never be perfect, the concept of Man whom he portrays nothing less than God is confusing and the point that Emerson wishes to convey by stating this is not understood by me. What I did not understand about his essay further on was when he talks about a school-boy and a Root and refers to it as being the "soul of his soul". To me the concept of a soul having a soul is beyond my understanding of the entire concept of soul. Emerson insists that books written by men are only written by men and not Man hence people should not follow them and use them as a source of inspiration."

"The eighteenth century was the formative period in the history of Trinity College Dublin: it was in this period of strong leadership that Trinity College took on its character as well as its outward appearance. In the following pages we examine the academic standing and culture of Trinity College in the eighteenth century, especially in comparison and contrast to the condition of other universities in the British Isles at that time, particularly Oxford and Cambridge.

The visitor to Trinity College Dublin (also called the University of Dublin) enters a space which, more perhaps than any other great university in the British Isles, embodies what Americans would imagine a great and ancient university to look like. Trinity College forms a distinct campus, organized around a system of open quadrangles. The plan, and the stately ..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Middle Passage was the barbarous and inhumane journey where slaves were transported from West-Africa to the Americas as 'black cattle'. It looks at how it was the beginning of the disintegration of African society, how Africans from all different cultures were literally thrown and shackled together on a ship and how by doing so, the slavers stripped the slaves of their sense of self and individuality.

From the Paper
"'Equiano's Travels' is the self-portrayal of an African slave. In 'Equiano's Travels' we are introduced to Equiano as a happy 11-year old who lives the carefree life every child should live. To me it seems of consequence that we meet Equiano happy-go-lucky, as it enables me to identify with him. He once upon a time was a well-fed, happy child who played with siblings and friends, and had a caring family. But then Equiano is kidnapped and sold to slavers. Gradually his whole life disintegrates: he gets separated from his sister, he moves from slaver to slaver. The open fields from the beginning of the narrative are now replaced by dark woods, in which he may get lost. Each time he finds some happiness, it results in misery far worse than before. At most times Equiano is overwhelmed by 'anguish' [page 175], 'horror' [page 175], 'fear' [page 174]. Throughout his journey, Equiano dreams of escaping and finding freedom. But as the narrative moves on he gets to realise that there is no freedom for him."

Abstract
A review of public policy issues surrounding homelessness, including history, Internet research and interviews with homeless people in a shelter in Cambridge, MA. It also discusses the lessons that can be learned from the moderately successful Massachusetts programs of the early eighties, and the lack of public interest in this issue, especially elite public interest.

From the Paper
"Homelessness was first addressed in the early 1980's in reaction to the visibly increased homeless population, but interest has steadily decreased since government action was initially taken over a decade ago. In reevaluating public policy options, it is important to examine the causes of the problem and delegate authority to those best suited to solving it. Lessons can be learned from the moderately successful Massachusetts programs of the early eighties, but in order for that pluralistic model to work, public interest must be created by an elite source."
