EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and tradition of Harrow School in North London, as it looked in 1939. Perched atop the Obadiah Slope, the old school building stands proudly against the sky, its ivy-covered walls and clock tower a testament to the institution's rich history. The steps leading up to the main entrance are filled with young boys in their distinctive uniforms, complete with boaters and straw hats, adding to the scene's quintessentially British charm. Founded in 1572, Harrow School is one of the most famous public schools in the country, known for its rigorous academic curriculum and impressive list of alumni, including Prime Ministers, Nobel laureates, and literary greats. The school's bursary system, which provides financial assistance to students, has made it accessible to a diverse range of pupils throughout its history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the thirties, a time of change and uncertainty. Yet, despite the looming shadows cast by the clouds, the boys in the photograph seem unperturbed, their focus on their education and the traditions of their school. The clock tower, ticking away the minutes, serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the importance of seizing the opportunities that come our way.
