Four Students in Pyjamas with Cigarettes, 1928: A Glimpse into the Past of Physical Education and College Life Date: 1928 This evocative photograph captures the image of four young students, all clad in pyjamas, gathered around a table in a dimly lit room. The scene is reminiscent of a cozy slumber party, but a closer look reveals an unexpected detail: each student holds a cigarette in hand. The names of the students, inscribed below the image, add a personal touch to this historical moment: "BPE Osa, BPE Bee, Archive Bedford, and Physical Education College Student Pupil." The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a snapshot of college life during the late 1920s. At this time, physical education was an essential component of the college curriculum, and students were often required to participate in various physical activities, even late into the night. The relaxed atmosphere of the image belies the rigorous training these students underwent, as they balanced their academic pursuits with their physical health. The presence of cigarettes in the photograph may be surprising to modern viewers, as smoking was not yet considered a health hazard during this era. However, it serves as a reminder of the cultural norms and societal attitudes of the time. This photograph, with its intriguing details and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the ways in which college life and societal expectations have evolved over the decades. The photograph is available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library, offering researchers, historians, and anyone with an interest in the past a unique opportunity to explore the history of education and student life in the early 20th century.
