EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Corpus Rugby in 1892-3, a historic moment frozen in time. The image showcases a group of determined young men, members of the college team, standing proudly together. Their faces reflect both excitement and determination as they prepare for an intense match ahead. The photographer, an English artist from the 19th century whose name remains unknown, skillfully captured this significant moment in sporting history. This photograph is now part of a private collection and serves as a testament to the rich heritage of university sports. Oxford Men and their Colleges by Joseph Foster published this illustration in 1893, immortalizing these athletes' dedication to their sport. Look closely at each face; you can almost feel their passion radiating through the lens. Corpus Rugby holds great historical significance within Oxford University's sporting legacy. These undergraduates represent not only their college but also embody the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie that defines university sports culture. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of how far collegiate sports have come since then. Yet it also serves as a reminder that some things remain constant – like the timeless bond formed between teammates on and off the field. Let us celebrate these young men who paved the way for future generations with their love for rugby and commitment to excellence. Through this photograph, we honor their legacy while appreciating how much has changed over time.
