EDITORS COMMENTS
A Fresh Breeze of Learning: Physical Education at Gordon College, Khartoum, Sudan (circa 1910s) This photograph transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling campus of Gordon College in Khartoum, Sudan, during the early 1900s. The image showcases a group of Sudanese students engaged in a lively and synchronised Physical Education session in the college yard. The air is filled with a sense of energy and excitement as the students, dressed in regimental uniforms, execute a series of drills and exercises under the watchful eye of their instructor. The fresh, African breeze plays with their hair, adding a touch of spontaneity to the otherwise disciplined scene. Physical Education was an integral part of the curriculum at Gordon College, which was established in 1898 by the Church Missionary Society. The college aimed to provide a holistic education to its students, focusing not only on academic learning but also on their physical well-being. The students' synchronised movements reflect the regimented nature of their training, instilling in them a sense of discipline and order. The open-air setting of the college yard adds to the sense of freedom and camaraderie, as the students revel in the joy of learning and physical activity. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of education in Sudan and the enduring legacy of institutions like Gordon College, which continue to inspire and shape the lives of generations of students. The image captures a moment in time, frozen in history, yet filled with the vitality and energy of youth and the promise of a brighter future.
