1800 1883 College Founder Holloway Manufacturer Medicines Patent Shoulders University Wing


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Thomas Holloway (1800-1883) is depicted with a serious expression, dressed in a formal collared shirt and waistcoat, his shoulders adorned with an elegant winged medal. The founder of Holloway College for Women, now known as Royal Holloway College, University of London, Holloway was a prominent figure in Victorian England during the late 19th century. Born in London, Holloway began his career as a manufacturer of patent medicines, which gained him significant wealth and fame. His most famous remedy, "Holloway's Pills," contained a secret formula of herbs and minerals that promised to cure a variety of ailments. However, the true ingredients of the pills remain a mystery to this day. Despite his success in the pharmaceutical industry, Holloway is best remembered for his philanthropic endeavors. In 1879, he established Holloway College for Women in Surrey, England, with the aim of providing higher education opportunities for women at a time when such opportunities were scarce. The college, which later became part of the University of London, was a trailblazer in women's education and attracted students from all over the world. The medal worn by Holloway in the photograph is a testament to his many accomplishments and honors. It features wings, symbolizing the ascent of knowledge and the freedom of the mind. The inscription on the medal reads "Sapientia et Doctrina," which means "Wisdom and Learning." This historic photograph captures the essence of a remarkable man who used his wealth and influence to make a difference in the lives of countless women. Thomas Holloway's legacy continues to inspire us today, as we strive for greater equality and access to education for all.
