EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving from 1837 showcases the Missionary Syrian College, a significant institution in Cotym, Travancore, Southern India. The image transports us back to a time when education and conversion were at the forefront of missionary efforts in Asia. The architectural beauty of the college building is evident as it stands proudly amidst lush surroundings. Its grandeur reflects the importance placed on education during this era. A group of English men and women are depicted near the entrance, perhaps representing missionaries or educators who played a pivotal role in establishing and running the college. The presence of both men and women suggests that this institution was progressive for its time, offering educational opportunities to individuals regardless of gender. This inclusive approach aligns with the broader mission of spreading knowledge and fostering cultural exchange between Western missionaries and local communities. As we admire this historical print, we can't help but ponder upon its significance within Indian society during that period. The Missionary Syrian College served as a symbol of hope for those seeking higher education while also serving as an avenue for religious conversion. This Granger Collection artwork allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also highlights an important chapter in history where cultures intertwined through education and faith-based missions.
