The students who floked to Cambridge soon arranged their scheme of study after the pattern followed by the university in Italy and France and which they were following at Oxford. They were numerous enough by 1226, to have set up an organisation represented by an official called a chancellor and seem to have arranged regular course of study tough by their own members. King Henry third took them under his protection and arranged for them to be sheltered from exploitation by their landlords at the same time he tried to ensure that they got enough teaching by an order that only those enrolled under the tuition of a recognised master where to be allowed to remain in that time gradually the students wear permitted to stay at Cambridge and the first college at Cambridge was in fat established by walter De Merton and who had set up merton college at Oxford.
