Cairo University

Cairo University is an institute of higher education located in Giza, Egypt. It is the result of an effort during British colonial rule to establish a national center for liberal thought. It was founded December 21, 1908. British occupation authorities, led by Lord Cromer, opposed the school's creation, fearing it would foster dissent. Cairo University has, among others, a School of Law and a School of Medicine.
