The dream of a canal across the Isthmus of Suez had existed since the time 4,000 years ago when the pharaohs
built Egypt's first canal. (It linked the Nile River with the Great Bitter Lake, which then opened onto the Gulf of
Suez.) This canal, however, was filled in, and for centuries trade with the Far East was carried overland across
Asia. Eventually ships began to sail around the southern tip of Africa to reach the Mediterranean Sea from the Red
Sea.
Then in 1858 a French engineer, Ferdinand de Lesseps, acquired the rights from his friend, Saʾid Pasha, viceroy of
Egypt, to organize a company and build a canal. On Nov. 17, 1869, the Suez Canal was opened with great
ceremony at the northern terminus, Port Said, which was named for Saʾid Pasha. The 12,400-mile (19,950-
kilometer) voyage from London around South Africa to Bombay, India, was shortened to 7,250 miles (11,670
kilometers).
The Suez Canal is 101 miles (163 kilometers) long, or about twice the length of the Panama Canal. The Suez was
easier to construct because it crosses flat, sea-level terrain and requires no locks. About 24 miles (39 kilometers)
of the canal are channels dredged through lakes. Most of the banks of the other 77 miles (123 kilometers) are
reinforced with stone, cement, or steel to help prevent erosion.
The main channels of the canal are dredged to a depth of about 66 feet (20 meters), and the navigational width
between buoys is set at 596 feet (180 meters). Double channels, where ships traveling in opposite directions can
pass without stopping, have been constructed at four locations and cover a little more than 41 miles (67
kilometers). The largest ships allowed to pass through the canal may have a beam of up to 210 feet (64 meters)
wide and a draught (below-water depth) of up to 53 feet (16 meters).
Ships move through the canal under their own power, but large ships must be accompanied by a tugboat. The trip
takes roughly 12 to 18 hours. To prevent accidents, vessels must travel in convoys at fixed speeds, fixed intervals,
and fixed distances between passing ships. Convoys going in opposite directions are usually timed so they will
pass each other in the Great Bitter Lake where there is a long double channel.
Each day two convoys from south to north and one convoy from north to south sail through the canal, with a
maximum total of 80 vessels a day. Yearly traffic numbers about 20,000 ships carrying between 300 million and
400 million net tons. Tankers and cargo ships account for nearly all canal traffic, but occasionally passenger liners
and warships use the waterway. Northbound cargo is chiefly oil from the Persian Gulf headed for Western Europe.
Southbound cargo consists mainly of manufactured goods and grain from Europe and North America destined for
the Far East and southern Asia.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
The English universities
While the University of Paris became the model for French universities north of the Loire and for those of central
Europe and England, Oxford would appear to have been the earliest. Certain schools, opened early in the 12th
century within the precincts of the dissolved nunnery of St. Frideswide and of Oseney Abbey, are supposed to
have been the nucleus around which it grew. But the beginning may have been a migration of English students
from Paris about 1167 or 1168. Immediately after 1168, allusions to Oxford as a studium and a studiumgenerale
begin to multiply. In the 13th century, mention first occurs of university “chests,” which were benefactions
designed for the assistance of poor students. Halls, or places of licensed residence for students, also began to be
established. Against periodic vicissitudes such as student dispersions and plagues, the foundation of colleges
proved the most effective remedy. The earliest colleges were University College, founded in 1249, Balliol
College, founded about 1263, and Merton College, founded in 1264.
The University of Cambridge, although it came into existence somewhat later than Oxford, may reasonably be
held to have had its origin in the same century. In 1112 the canons of St. Giles crossed the River Cam and took up
their residence in the new priory in Barnwell, and their work of instruction acquired additional importance. In
1209 a body of students migrated there from Oxford. Then about 1224 the Franciscans established themselves in
the town and, somewhat less than half a century later, were followed by the Dominicans. At both the English
universities, as at Paris, the mendicants and other religious orders were admitted to degrees, a privilege that, until
the year 1337, was extended to them at no other university. Their interest in and influence at these three centres
were consequently proportionately great.
In 1231 and 1233 royal and papal letters afford satisfactory proof that the University of Cambridge was already an
organized body, with a chancellor at its head.
From the 13th to the 15th centuries, studiageneralia or universities proliferated in central and northern Europe and
were usually modeled on the University of Paris. Although the earliest was Prague, which existed as a studium in
the 13th century and was chartered by Pope Clement VI in 1348, perhaps no medieval university achieved a more
rapid and permanent success than Heidelberg. The University of Heidelberg, the oldest in the German realm,
received its charter in 1386 from Pope Urban VI as a studiumgenerale and contained all the recognized faculties—
theology, canon law, medicine, and the arts, as well as civil law. In the subsequent 100 years, universities were
founded at Cologne, Erfurt, Leipzig, Rostock, Freiburg, Tübingen, Ofen (Budapest), Basel, Uppsala, and
Copenhagen.
Spain was also an important scene of developments in higher education. Valladolid received its charter in 1346
and attained great celebrity after it obtained the rank of studiumgenerale and a universitastheologiae by a decree of
Pope Martin V in 1418. Salamanca was founded in 1243 by Ferdinand III of Castile with faculties of arts,
medicine, and jurisprudence, to which theology was added through the efforts of Martin V. The College of St.
Bartholomew, the earliest founded at Salamanca, was noted for its ancient library and valuable collection of
manuscripts. Other important early Spanish and Portuguese schools were Sevilla, Alcalá, and Lisbon.
