Abstract

by Arata Ide HE history of deep antagonism between town and gown in Cambridge chiefly centers on the social spheres of everyday existence. Since both the immensely privileged collegians and the common townsfolk walked the same streets day after day, obtained their supplies of bread and drink from the same markets, and used the same ditches and trenches to perform their natural functions, it was perhaps inevitable that friction should occur in many aspects of their lives.
