EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Queens College Back Quad in Oxford University during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the history and tradition that lies within these hallowed halls. At the heart of the scene, the quadrangle, or 'quad,' is a tranquil oasis of greenery, where ivy-covered buildings surround a lush garden. The architectural grandeur of the college's structures is on full display, with their intricate windows, red-tiled roofs, and sandstone facades. The peaceful setting belies the rich history that unfolded here, including the time spent by Harold Auerbach in the quad during his Royal Flying Corps training in June 1917. The college's ivy-covered walls and gardens have long been a symbol of the academic excellence and tradition that Oxford University is renowned for. The British institution, founded in 1249, has been a beacon of higher education for over 800 years. Its buildings, steeped in history, have witnessed the intellectual pursuits of generations of students, scholars, and thinkers. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring allure of Oxford University and the profound impact it has had on the world. The peaceful scene before us is a testament to the enduring power of education and the beauty of tradition.
