1. Title: A Student's Diligent Effort: Cleaning a Bicycle in a College Physical Education Class, 1904 Date: 1904 Description: This black-and-white photograph captures a moment in time from over a century ago, showcasing the dedication and discipline instilled in students during a Physical Education (PE) class at a college. The image, taken in 1904, depicts a young student meticulously cleaning a bicycle, likely as part of a required maintenance or hygiene lesson. The scene is set in an open-air classroom, where students are engaged in various physical activities. The student in focus wears a simple, collared shirt and trousers, with a cap adorned with the emblem of the college. He is seen kneeling beside his bicycle, a classic high-wheel model, and is thoroughly scrubbing its frame with a brush and bucket of soapy water. The bicycle's wheels are removed, and the student is carefully cleaning each spoke and wheel rim. The background of the photograph reveals other students participating in PE activities, such as playing cricket, practicing archery, and playing tennis. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of physical education in the early 20th century and the role it played in shaping the lives of students. Archival Source: This photograph is part of the Bedford Collection, held by the BPEOSA (Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Record Office) in the United Kingdom. The collection is a rich resource for historians, educators, and researchers, providing valuable insights into the history of physical education and the daily life of students during this era. This photograph is an excellent reminder of the enduring value of physical education and the importance of maintaining one's belongings, even in the context of a bygone era. It also highlights the role of institutions like colleges in fostering a well-rounded education that encompasses both academic and practical skills.
