EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back to a time when education was highly valued and cherished. The scene depicts the Glasgow University Extension Scheme, a groundbreaking initiative that aimed to bring knowledge and enlightenment to all corners of society. As we observe the print, our eyes are drawn to a group of young students engrossed in their studies. They sit attentively in a lecture room, surrounded by an enormous collection of books. It is evident that these individuals have dedicated themselves to expanding their minds through the pursuit of knowledge. The image also showcases the presence of women in academia during this era. Amongst the predominantly male student body, several ladies can be seen diligently reading textbooks and engaging with course materials. Their inclusion serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality within educational institutions. There is an air of solemnity in this print as well; perhaps it captures a farewell moment before embarking on new journeys or bidding goodbye to beloved university years. The deserted lecture room suggests that these students have momentarily abandoned their seats for rest or reflection. This engraving not only invites us into a world long gone but also encourages us to remember the importance of education and intellectual growth. It reminds us that regardless of time or place, learning remains an essential part of human existence – one that should be pursued with devotion and passion like those depicted here at Glasgow University Extension Scheme.
