EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Eric Harlow, we are transported back to the enchanting world of Oxford University in June 1948. The image captures a unique initiation ceremony taking place deep within the subterranean sewers underneath the town. As torches illuminate their path, a group of Oxford undergraduate students gracefully move along in a boat, navigating through the darkness with an air of excitement and camaraderie. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the rich traditions and customs that have long been cherished at prestigious universities like Oxford. It is evident that education here goes beyond classroom walls, as these young men and women partake in this mysterious underground ritual. Their faces radiate both fun and determination as they embrace this unconventional experience. The presence of girls among these students adds another layer of intrigue to the photograph. In an era when gender roles were more rigidly defined, seeing young women actively participating alongside their male counterparts showcases their resilience and determination to break barriers. Harlow's masterful composition not only captures our attention but also sparks our curiosity about what lies beneath the surface - both literally and metaphorically - at one of England's most esteemed institutions. This print serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration, tradition, and unity amongst teenagers seeking knowledge within these hallowed halls.
