EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the tranquil and historic atmosphere of Corpus Christi College in Oxford, as depicted in this photograph. The image showcases the entrance to the Quad, or courtyard, of this prestigious educational institution, adorned with the intricately designed sundial as its centerpiece. The sundial, a symbol of Corpus Christi College, features a pelican, a traditional emblem of Christian sacrifice and renewal. Despite the inscription on this postcard suggesting a date of 1907, it is essential to clarify that Corpus Christi College was actually founded much earlier, in 1517. This makes it one of the oldest colleges in the University of Oxford. The college's rich history is reflected in its architectural beauty, with buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The Quad, with its lush greenery and the sun casting long shadows, creates an idyllic setting for learning and contemplation. The sundial, with its gothic design and the pelican at its heart, serves as a constant reminder of the college's heritage and its commitment to academic excellence. As you explore the Quad and its surroundings, take a moment to appreciate the history and tradition that surrounds you. Corpus Christi College, with its beautiful architecture, serene atmosphere, and enduring symbolism, offers a glimpse into the past while remaining a vibrant and relevant part of Oxford's academic community.
