EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the 1910s in Yangon, Myanmar (formerly known as Rangoon, Burma), where the American Baptist College stands proudly against the tropical backdrop. The American Baptist College, an institution of higher learning, is a testament to the rich history of colonial architecture in Myanmar. The architectural style of the college is a fusion of Western and Asian influences, reflecting the cultural exchange that occurred during the colonial era. The red-brick building, adorned with intricate stone carvings and ornate columns, exudes an aura of grandeur and sophistication. The lush greenery surrounding the college adds to its picturesque beauty, providing a serene contrast to the bustling city of Yangon. The American Baptist College played a significant role in the education of the Burmese people during the colonial period. It was established in 1886 by American missionaries to provide quality education to the local population. The college offered a range of academic programs, including theology, arts, and sciences, and was renowned for its commitment to social justice and community service. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the rich history of education in Myanmar. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of colonial architecture and the important role that institutions of higher learning play in shaping the future of societies.
