Teaching has been recorded in the city since 1096, and Oxford's teaching system and collegiate system have had a profound impact on higher education around the world. The city's architectural treasures from the Middle Ages, such as the Bridge of Sighs at Christ Church College, the ancient manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, and the 38 colleges spread throughout the city, each tell a story of its long history. Oxford is not only a center of academic research, but has also spawned 26 British prime ministers, several Nobel Prize winners and literary giants such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
