EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, students at the University of Cambridge engage in the traditional pastime of punting on the River Cam, near the iconic King's College. The image, taken in the 1950s, captures a moment of leisurely enjoyment against the backdrop of the historic university. Among the students pictured is Hilary Evans, a writer and picture librarian who once resided in the top-floor rooms on the left side of the scene. The tall, red-brick buildings of the university loom overhead, their windows filled with the bustling activity of scholars and students. The River Cam, a significant body of water that winds its way through the heart of Cambridge, has long been a source of inspiration and relaxation for those who attend the prestigious institution. Punting, a popular activity that involves propelling oneself along the river using a long pole, is a quintessential part of the Cambridge experience. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to an era of academic pursuits, camaraderie, and the simple pleasures of life. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Cambridge University and the rich history that surrounds it. Hilary Evans, a writer and picture librarian, can be seen in the top left corner of the photograph, dressed in a sweater and trousers, her hair pulled back in a neat bun. Her presence adds an intriguing layer of personal history to the image, inviting us to imagine her experiences as a student in this storied institution. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and evocative details, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of Cambridge University. It is a reminder of the importance of education, history, and the simple joys of life that can be found in the most unexpected places.
