EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases St. John's College in the Bronx, New York, USA, circa 1904. The college, founded in 1841, was originally named after St. John the Evangelist and was one of the first institutions of higher learning in the borough. At the time this image was taken, the college was undergoing a period of transformation. In 1907, it would be renamed Fordham University, reflecting its growing status as a major educational institution. The photograph captures the beauty and grandeur of the college's campus, with its red-brick buildings and sprawling greens. The main building, with its tall, arched windows and intricate stonework, stands proudly at the center, a testament to the enduring legacy of education in the United States. The college's location in the Bronx, a borough known for its rich cultural diversity, added to its unique character. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 1900s, a time of great change and progress in American history. The college's students, dressed in their formal attire, can be seen milling about the campus, engaging in lively discussions and enjoying the sunny weather. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the role it plays in shaping the future of individuals and communities. Today, Fordham University continues to thrive as a premier institution of higher learning, carrying on the legacy of St. John's College and its commitment to academic excellence and social responsibility. This photograph serves as a reminder of the college's storied past and its enduring commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of society.
