EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1905, transports us back in time to the historic halls of King's College, located on the Strand in London. Established in 1829, King's College was one of the two founding colleges of the University of London, the other being University College London. The image showcases a group of students and faculty members gathered in front of the college's impressive Gothic Revival building. Dressed in academic robes and mortarboards, they exude a sense of scholarly pride and intellectual curiosity. The women students, some wearing long skirts and blouses, others in dresses, are seated on the steps, while the men stand behind them. The college's crest, featuring a king's crown and the motto "Scientia et Virtus" (Latin for "Knowledge and Virtue"), is proudly displayed on the building's façade. The image also reveals a glimpse of the college's beautiful gardens, with their vibrant flowers and lush greenery, adding to the serene atmosphere. King's College has a rich and storied history, with notable alumni including 14 Nobel laureates, 28 prime ministers of the United Kingdom, and numerous other influential figures. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a glimpse into the daily life of students and faculty at the college over a century ago. The photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring legacy of King's College and the University of London, and serves as a reminder of the importance of knowledge and the pursuit of learning.
