Home of the English-speaking world's oldest university, Oxford lies on the river Thames in South East England, 90 kilometres north-west of London. 19th-century poet Matthew Arnold, himself a graduate of one of the constituent colleges of Oxford University, described it as a "city of dreaming spires" for its harmonious architecture. Oxford's history goes back to Saxon times when St. Frideswide's nunnery was founded in the 8th century. St. Frideswide is the patron saint of the city and of the university. The first colleges: University College, Balliol College and Merton College were established in the 13th century, at a time when the church was seeking to reconcile Greek philosophy and Christian theology. February 10, 1355 was a dark day in Oxford's history: the date of the St. Scholastica riot, a dispute between townspeople and students that started over beer and ended up as an armed clash in which 63 scholars and some 30 townspeople were killed.
