EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the intense atmosphere of the Rectorial Election at Aberdeen University in 1902. The scene takes place in the Quadrangle of Marischal College, where students are engaged in a fierce struggle for the Standard, symbolizing their determination to win this prestigious position. The artist, Henry Charles Seppings Wright, skillfully portrays the chaos and civil unrest that ensued during this historic event. The composition is filled with energy as students clash with each other while others watch on anxiously. The referee can be seen trying to maintain order amidst the commotion. The Rectorial Election was a highly anticipated event, attracting attention from all corners of Scotland. It was an opportunity for students to voice their opinions and elect a representative who would advocate for their interests. This particular election saw prominent figures such as Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Asquith vying for the esteemed role of Lord Rector. Wright's detailed engraving allows us to witness this momentous occasion firsthand, capturing not only the physical fight but also conveying the passion and determination exhibited by these young scholars. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this significant chapter in Aberdeen University's history. This print serves as a reminder of how education can ignite fervor and inspire individuals to stand up for what they believe in – even if it means engaging in heated battles within academic institutions like Marischal College's Quadrangle.
