EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of education at Fort Hare Native College in Alice, Cape Province, South Africa. Taken around 1948, it showcases students of bacteriology engrossed in their studies within the college's laboratory. The image exudes an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and dedication to learning. A group of young men can be seen huddled together, fully absorbed in their scientific experiments. Their focused expressions reflect their commitment to unraveling the mysteries of bacteria and medicine. The setting itself is reminiscent of a bygone era, with its modest interiors adorned with shelves filled with books and scientific equipment. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the world of higher education for native Africans during this time period. Fort Hare Native College played a crucial role in providing educational opportunities for African students when access to quality education was limited due to racial segregation policies prevalent at that time. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination displayed by these pioneering individuals who sought knowledge despite facing numerous obstacles. Preserved within the pages of "Newnes Pictorial Knowledge Volume 3" this historical artifact not only documents an important chapter in South African academia but also reminds us of the transformative power that education holds for individuals and societies alike.
