EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken around 1915 by Campbells Press Studio, captures the essence of University College London (UCL) during a bygone era. The image, now held in the Historic England Archive, presents a serene scene in the heart of the university campus. The quadrangle, adorned with lush greenery, serves as the backdrop to this snapshot of academic life. Male and female students, dressed in the fashion of the time, are engaged in various activities. Some are deep in conversation, while others are lost in thought, perhaps pondering over complex academic problems. The pedimented portico, a testament to the grandeur of the university, looms in the background. Its intricate design and classical architecture reflect the intellectual rigor and tradition of learning that UCL embodies. Two observatories, nestled on either side of the quadrangle, add an element of scientific discovery and innovation to the scene. They symbolize the university's commitment to exploration and the pursuit of knowledge, both in the humanities and the sciences. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual record of the academic community that once thrived in this historic space. It serves as a reminder of the enduring value of education and the importance of institutions like University College London in shaping the minds of future generations.
