EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on the 7th of December 1926, transports us back to a bygone era when female students from Reading University embraced their playful spirits for a noble cause. Dressed in an array of vibrant costumes, these young women are captured mid-laughter as they participate in a rag-week event to raise funds for the Berkshire Hospital. The image exudes an infectious sense of camaraderie and joy, showcasing the carefree nature of university life during this time. Each student's costume is meticulously crafted with attention to detail, reflecting their creativity and enthusiasm. From elegant flapper dresses adorned with feathers and pearls to whimsical clown outfits complete with oversized bow ties, every ensemble tells its own unique story. Beyond the surface-level revelry lies a deeper purpose - supporting the local hospital. This charitable endeavor highlights not only the students' commitment to their community but also their understanding of social responsibility at such a tender age. Preserved through time by Kirby's lens, this print serves as both a testament to history and an inspiration for future generations. It reminds us that education goes beyond textbooks; it encompasses experiences that shape character and instill empathy. As we gaze upon these spirited young women frozen in time, we cannot help but be reminded of our own youthful adventures and aspirations. Their laughter echoes across decades, bridging gaps between past and present while reminding us that even amidst challenges or uncertainties, unity can bring lightness into our lives.
