    College ist ein allgemeiner Oberbegriff für höhere Bildungsinstitute. In Großbritannien kann er sich auf Einrichtungen beziehen, in denen man in einzelnen Fachbereichen, wie Kunst oder Musik, einen Hochschulabschluss erwerben kann, aber ebenso auf Schulen ohne weiteren Abschluss, z. B. für Sekretärinnen oder Friseure. Einige britische Universitäten, darunter Oxford und Cambridge, setzen sich aus Colleges zusammen. In diesen collegiate universities sorgen die Colleges für die Unterbringung und Ausbildung der Studenten, auch wenn die Universität dann die Abschlüsse verleiht. Zu den bekanntesten Colleges zählen wohl das King's College in Cambridge und das Magdalen College in Oxford. In den USA werden die Universitäten in Verwaltungseinheiten unterteilt, die als Colleges bezeichnet werden: zum Beispiel das "College of Arts and Sciences" oder das "College of Medicine". Graduate schools, die normalerweise Teil einer Universität sind, bieten auf dem bachelor aufbauende Studiengänge zur weiteren Spezialisierung an. Junior oder community colleges sind Institute, an denen man nach zweijähriger Studienzeit einen berufsbezogenen Abschluss machen kann sie bieten auch Weiterbildungen für Berufstätige an See: → DEGREE, OXBRIDGE

    College bezeichnet die Zeit an der Universität bis zum Abschluss des bachelor's degree, normalerweise drei Jahre. Universitäten, an denen die Studenten nur bachelor's degrees erwerben können und gewisse Berufsschulen, werden oft colleges genannt. Richtige universities - Universitäten dagegen bieten auch higher degrees - höhere Abschlüsse an, wie master's degrees und doctorates. An junior colleges kann man die ersten zwei Collegejahre absolvieren oder einen technischen Beruf erlernen.

  • 3 Collège de France

       Founded by François I in 1530, located close to the Sorbonne in Paris, the Collège de France is an academy of learning which is outside the normal education system. It provides a programme of lectures and seminars conducted by some of the greatest academics in France, but open to the public. It does not deliver any degrees or diplomas. Members are elected for life from among leading academics, and the title Professeur au Collège de France is the highest distinction possible in French academia.

  • 20 History of volleyball

    William G. Morgan (1870-1942) inventor of the game of volleyball
    ________________________________________
    William G. Morgan (1870-1942), who was born in the State of New York, has gone down in history as the inventor of the game of volleyball, to which he originally gave the name "Mintonette".
    The young Morgan carried out his undergraduate studies at the Springfield College of the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) where he met James Naismith who, in 1891, had invented basketball. After graduating, Morgan spent his first year at the Auburn (Maine) YMCA after which, during the summer of 1896, he moved to the YMCA at Holyoke (Massachusetts) where he became Director of Physical Education. In this role he had the opportunity to establish, develop, and direct a vast programme of exercises and sports classes for male adults.
    His leadership was enthusiastically accepted, and his classes grew in numbers. He came to realise that he needed a certain type of competitive recreational game in order to vary his programme. Basketball, which sport was beginning to develop, seemed to suit young people, but it was necessary to find a less violent and less intense alternative for the older members.

    In 1995, the sport of Volleyball was 100 years old!
    The sport originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type of popularity in the U.S. that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation sports.
    Today there are more than 46 million Americans who play volleyball. There are 800 million players worldwide who play Volleyball at least once a week.
    In 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of Volleyball (at that time called mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man's head.
    During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps "volleyball" would be a more descriptive name for the sport.
