EDITORS COMMENTS
A Thrilling Rivalry on the River: Cambridge University Lent Races, 1925 This evocative photograph captures the excitement and intensity of the annual Lent Races at the historic University of Cambridge. Held on the River Cam, these traditional rowing competitions bring together undergraduate students from various colleges in a spirited display of athleticism and school spirit. The image, taken in 1925, shows a tense moment during the race as two teams, dressed in their distinctive colors and emblems, battle it out on the water. The crowd, a sea of hats and coats, cheers and roars in support of their chosen team. The anticipation is palpable as the rowers strain against their oars, their focus unwavering as they race towards the finish line. The Lent Races, which take place each spring, have a long and storied history. Dating back to the late 19th century, they provide an opportunity for friendly competition and camaraderie among students. The event also serves as a reminder of the rich tradition of rowing at Cambridge University, which boasts a storied history in the sport. The photograph, taken by ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the thrill of competition was a shared experience for students and spectators alike. The large crowd, the roar of the cheering section, and the determination of the rowers all come together to create a moment frozen in time, a testament to the enduring spirit of Cambridge University and its Lent Races.
