EDITORS COMMENTS
4th May 1912: A Page from The Sphere - The Newsletter, Week by Week This image from The Sphere, published on the 4th of May 1912, showcases a collection of diverse stories that reflect the spirit of the times. The top half of the page features a group of Indian students who have recently graduated from the prestigious London School of Economics, proudly donning their academic jackets. Their sense of accomplishment and excitement is palpable, as they stand together, a testament to their hard work and determination. Beneath this uplifting scene, the page takes a more somber turn, with images of Signor Murri and Miss Raguhild Lund, who are shown paying their respects at the Cairn on Culloden Moor. The anniversary of the Battle of Culloden is being commemorated, and the wreaths at the cairn symbolize the enduring significance of Scotland's rich history. However, the page also carries a sense of unease and uncertainty, as evidenced by the images of lifebelts and life-saving apparatus. The caption reads, "those responsible for the lives on the Olympic are taking stringent precautions in view of the terrible calamity to her sister ship, Titanic." The tragic sinking of the Titanic just a few weeks prior had cast a long shadow over the maritime world, and the crew of the Olympic were taking no chances. Yet, in spite of these precautions, the page also reveals the potential for human error and industrial disputes. The fireman on strike is shown declaring that the forty collapsible boats taken from troopships in the harbor were quite unseaworthy. This dispute added to the growing unease and highlighted the complexities of ensuring safety in the face of such calamities. This page from The Sphere, with its rich tapestry of stories, serves as a poignant reminder of the events and issues that shaped the world in 1912. It is a snapshot of a time when history was being made, and the future was uncertain.
