EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of students walking through the ancient archway of Oxford University's Bodleian Library in England during the 1960s. Established in 1598, the Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford and one of the oldest libraries in Europe. The students, dressed in academic gowns and mortarboards, are deep in conversation as they make their way through the imposing arch, its intricate stonework casting long shadows over the cobblestone path. The year is 1968, a time of great social and political change around the world. The students of Oxford University were no exception, with protests and demonstrations taking place on campus throughout the year. Yet, in this moment, they are united by their shared academic pursuits and the rich history of their esteemed institution. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the halls of Oxford University echoed with the lively debates and intellectual discourse that have defined it for centuries.
