EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1902, showcases the majestic Gordon Memorial College in the heart of Khartoum, Sudan. Established in 1900, the college was named in honor of General Charles Gordon, a British military officer and evangelist who had previously served as the Governor-General of Equatoria, Sudan, from 1876 to 1879. The college was a significant milestone in Sudan's educational history, marking the beginning of modern education in the region. Initially, it was a secondary school, but it later evolved into the University of Khartoum in 1956, making it the oldest and most prestigious university in Sudan. The architectural beauty of the college is evident in this image, with its red-brick buildings, tall arches, and intricate stonework. The college's design was inspired by the Gothic Revival style, reflecting the British influence on Sudanese architecture during that period. The students in this photograph, dressed in traditional Sudanese attire, are seen engaged in their studies, reflecting the college's commitment to providing quality education to the local population. The Sudanese students were joined by a significant number of international students, creating a diverse and inclusive learning environment. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of education in Sudan and the pivotal role that the Gordon Memorial College played in shaping the country's educational landscape. Today, the University of Khartoum continues to uphold the legacy of its founding institution, providing opportunities for higher learning and research to the Sudanese people and the wider global community.
