Alexandria College Newly Opened
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the newly opened Salvago Greek College in the Shatby district of Alexandria, Egypt. The image captures the essence of a pivotal moment in the college's history, as evidenced by the builders' tent still standing in the foreground and the lot in the background still dotted with rubble. The college, which was part of a larger educational complex, was established during a period of significant growth and development in Alexandria's Greek community. The Salvago Greek College was an important educational institution in North Africa, providing a high-quality education to Greek students in the region. The school's curriculum was based on the Greek educational system, with a strong emphasis on classical studies, mathematics, and the sciences. The college's founding was a testament to the resilience and determination of the Greek community in Egypt, who sought to preserve their cultural heritage and provide opportunities for the next generation. The college's location in Shatby, a suburb of Alexandria, placed it in a vibrant and diverse community. The area was home to a mix of Greek, Egyptian, and European residents, creating a rich cultural tapestry. The college's students would have been exposed to a multitude of influences, broadening their horizons and fostering a sense of global awareness. Despite the challenges of construction, the Salvago Greek College stood as a beacon of academic excellence and cultural preservation in Alexandria. This photograph serves as a reminder of the college's history and the important role it played in the education of Greek students in Egypt during the early 20th century.
