EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we are transported back in time to the bustling city of Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon, Burma), in the 1910s. The image captures the serene and imposing St. John's College, an esteemed educational institution that has stood as a beacon of knowledge and learning for over a century. Located in the heart of the city, St. John's College was founded in 1883 by the Anglican Church Mission Society. The school was established to provide quality education to the children of European expatriates and the Burmese elite. The architectural beauty of the college is evident in this photograph, with its red-brick buildings, tall spires, and lush, green gardens. The image also reveals the vibrant and diverse student body, with boys in crisp white shirts and dark trousers, and Burmese students in traditional longyi and blouse. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of education in Myanmar and the enduring legacy of St. John's College. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the pursuit of knowledge was a source of pride and aspiration for students from all walks of life. The image also highlights the multicultural fabric of Yangon, a city that has long been a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions. Today, St. John's College continues to thrive as a leading educational institution in Myanmar, providing quality education to generations of students. The college's commitment to academic excellence and its rich history make it an important part of the cultural heritage of Yangon and Myanmar. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of education and the enduring bonds that connect us to our past.
