A university (Latin: universitas, "a whole") is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which grants academic degrees in various subjects and typically provides undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The word "university" is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars."
The original Latin word "universitas" refers in general to "a number of persons associated into one body, a society, company, community, guild, corporation, etc." At the time of the emergence of urban town life and medieval guilds, specialised "associations of students and teachers with collective legal rights usually guaranteed by charters issued by princes, prelates, or the towns in which they were located" came to be denominated by this general term. Like other guilds, they were self-regulating and determined the qualifications of their members.
In modern usage the word has come to mean "An institution of higher education offering tuition in mainly non-vocational subjects and typically having the power to confer degrees," with the earlier emphasis on its corporate organization considered as applying historically to Medieval universities.
Sir Richard Henry Friend (born 18 January 1953) FRS FREng is Cavendish Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge and Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor at the National University of Singapore. Friend's research concerns the physics and engineering of carbon-based semiconductors.
Friend was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge, gaining a PhD in 1979.
Friend's research has been applied to development of polymer field effect transistors, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic diodes, optically pumped lasing and directly printed polymer transistors. He pioneered the study of organic polymers and the electronic properties of molecular semiconductors. He is also one of the principal investigators in the new Cambridge-based Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration (IRC) on nanotechnology and co-founder of Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) and Plastic Logic. Friend has over 600 publications and more than 20 patents. Friend’s research has been used to develop flat panel displays and future screens that can be rolled and transported.

All you say, in that letter you wrote is
that your life is ripped up and turned upside down.
I don't know how you can't figure it out,
and stand on your own feet, look at me now
Been there, done that, now I want to see you do this
Every step I take, every move I make,
keeps me comin right back to you
Wake up! One day, and you don't know what's goin on around you
Make up! The time, or it'll pass you by, pass you by
Wake up! One day, and you don't know what's goin on around you
Make up! The time, or it'll pass you by, pass you by
All I said, in the letter I wrote

I took a look around and I figured it out,

Been there, done that, now you're goin to see me do this
Every step I take, every move I make, keeps movin me away from you
Wake up! One day, and you don't know what's goin on around you
