EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the moment when William Ewart Gladstone, a prominent English Liberal statesman, delivered his address as Lord Rector of the prestigious University of Glasgow in December 1879. Gladstone, born on September 29, 1809, had a long and illustrious political career, serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for a total of four terms between 1868 and 1894. His political beliefs and reforms, including the extension of the franchise and the implementation of secret ballots, significantly shaped the political landscape of 19th-century Britain. Gladstone's connection to the University of Glasgow began in 1878 when he was elected as the Lord Rector, an honorary position that allowed him to represent the interests of the student body and serve as the ceremonial head of the university. In his address, Gladstone emphasized the importance of education and its role in shaping the future of society. He encouraged students to use their knowledge and skills to contribute to the betterment of their communities and the world at large. This historical engraving, from the ILN (Illustrated London News) archive, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing a significant moment in both the history of the University of Glasgow and the life of one of the most influential political figures of the 19th century. The image, dated 1879, depicts Gladstone delivering his address with great passion and conviction, surrounded by an attentive audience of students and faculty members. The engraving is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Gladstone's political achievements and his commitment to education and progress.
