EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Oxford University Boat Crew of 1909, a team of dedicated and determined young men who braved the chilly weather to compete in the annual Boat Races against their rivals from the University of Cambridge. The crew members, dressed in their distinctive dark blue blazers and white shorts, exude a sense of focus and determination as they gather around their boat, the 'Bourne'. Among the notable faces in the team are Bourne, Mackinnon, Cudmore, Garton, and Gillan, who would go on to make significant contributions to their respective fields after their time on the river. The photograph was taken at the time when the Boat Races were still in their infancy, having only been established in 1829. The event had already gained significant popularity and importance in the social and sporting calendar of both universities, with thousands of spectators lining the banks of the Thames to witness the annual spectacle. Despite the challenging conditions, the crew members in this photograph appear in high spirits, no doubt buoyed by the camaraderie and sense of tradition that comes with being part of the Oxford University Boat Club. The boat, named 'Bourne', is a testament to the team's proud history and their commitment to maintaining the high standards of excellence that have come to define Oxford's boating tradition. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Boat Races were a symbol of inter-university rivalry and a source of great pride for students and alumni alike.
