September 1917: A Moment in Time at Bedford College for Physical Education Students This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of physical education at Bedford College during World War I. Taken in September 1917, the image shows a group of dedicated students engaged in their studies, oblivious to the global turmoil unfolding beyond the college walls. The photograph, titled 'Ward' and sourced from the BPEOA (Bedford Physical Education Outdoor Association) archive, depicts a classroom filled with pupils and students, all intently focused on their lessons. The teacher, Mr. Ward, stands at the front of the room, pointing to a diagram on the chalkboard, while his students take notes and ask questions. The atmosphere is one of concentration and determination, reflecting the unwavering commitment to education, even amidst the chaos of war. The physical education college, located in Bedford, England, was a pioneer in the field of sports and fitness education for women. Founded in 1893, it was one of the first institutions in the UK to offer higher education in physical education to women, paving the way for future generations of physical education teachers and sports enthusiasts. As the world marked the third year of the Great War in 1917, the college continued to thrive, providing a sanctuary for students seeking knowledge and normalcy amidst the turmoil. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of those who chose to pursue their passions, even in the most challenging of times.
