EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of The New University in Cathays Park, Cardiff, South Wales, as it stood in 1917. The New University, also known as University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, was an integral part of the higher education landscape in Wales during the early 20th century. Established in 1893, the university was a product of the educational reforms of the late 19th century, which aimed to provide accessible and high-quality education to a wider population. By the 1910s, the university had grown significantly, necessitating the construction of a new campus in Cathays Park. The architectural design of the building is a testament to the ambition and vision of its founders. The neoclassical façade, with its grand columns and intricate detailing, exudes a sense of authority and sophistication. The spacious grounds, dotted with trees and manicured lawns, offer a tranquil and inspiring environment for learning. The students in this photograph, dressed in their academic robes and mortarboards, add a sense of tradition and ceremony to the scene. They represent the thousands of young men and women who have passed through the halls of The New University over the years, seeking knowledge and a better future. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of higher education in Wales, and the crucial role that institutions like The New University have played in shaping the lives and futures of generations of students. Today, the university continues to thrive, carrying on the legacy of its proud past and looking towards an exciting and innovative future.
