EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the formal procession of esteemed academics from the University of Glasgow in the late 19th century, as they make their Exodus from the Old College. The image features the Rector, Dean, and Masters, dressed in their academic robes and caps, making their way down the grand staircase adorned with intricately carved lions and unicorns. The lion and unicorn are symbolic of the Scottish monarchy and represent strength and purity respectively, making them a fitting decoration for this esteemed institution of higher learning. The University of Glasgow, founded in 1451, is one of Scotland's oldest universities and has a rich history in academic excellence. The Old College, located in the heart of the city, was the primary campus until the early 20th century when the university expanded. This photograph captures a significant moment in the university's history as these academic leaders depart from the Old College, likely for a formal occasion or ceremony. The formal attire and solemn expressions of the men convey a sense of importance and tradition. The staircase, with its ornate carvings and intricate details, adds to the grandeur of the scene. The photograph adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a bygone era in the history of the University of Glasgow.
