EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the College Hall of the Syrian Protestant College, located in the vibrant city of Beirut, Lebanon, circa 1910. Established in 1866, the Syrian Protestant College was a pioneering institution of higher learning in the Middle East. The college, which would later be renamed the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 1920, was founded by American missionaries with the goal of providing a world-class education to students from the region and beyond. The College Hall, with its grand architecture and imposing presence, served as the heart of the campus. Its intricate stonework, tall arches, and red-tiled roofs reflect the unique blend of Western and Middle Eastern architectural styles that characterize Beirut's rich cultural heritage. The college's commitment to academic excellence and its openness to students of all faiths and nationalities quickly earned it a reputation as one of the leading universities in Lebanon and of international renown. As the 1910s dawned, the Syrian Protestant College was at the forefront of educational innovation in the Middle East. Its faculty and students made significant contributions to various fields, including medicine, engineering, and the humanities. The college's impact on the region extended far beyond its campus, as its graduates went on to become leaders in their respective fields and played a crucial role in shaping the future of Lebanon and the broader Middle East. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the American University of Beirut and its role as a beacon of education and intellectual inquiry in the heart of the Middle East.
