EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of physical education at a college in the early 1900s, as students eagerly kit up for a hockey match. Dated 1903, the image is a rare glimpse into the past of sports participation in educational institutions. The students, dressed in their formal attire, are seen adjusting their pads, lacing up their boots, and donning their hockey sticks. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, with the students exchanging banter and laughter as they prepare for the game. The photograph is part of the extensive archive held by bpeosa (Bedford Physical Education Society Archive), which documents the rich history of physical education in schools and colleges. The image is a testament to the importance of sports and physical activity in the lives of students, even in an era when facilities and resources were more limited than they are today. The photograph also provides a fascinating insight into the historical context of the time. The students' attire, with their collared shirts, ties, and tweed jackets, reflects the formal dress code of the early 1900s. The hockey sticks, made of wood and bound with tape, are a far cry from the high-tech equipment used in modern hockey. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of sports and the role they play in shaping the lives of students, both in the past and in the present. The photograph is a valuable historical resource, and its preservation in the bpeosa archive ensures that future generations can continue to learn from and be inspired by the experiences of those who came before them.
