EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print taken on 5 March 1922, we are transported back in time to the prestigious Cambridge University. The image showcases a Cambridge proctor, accompanied by his loyal bulldogs, strolling through the streets of this esteemed institution. Dressed in traditional academic attire - mortar board and gown - the proctor exudes an air of authority and discipline. His presence is further emphasized by the top hats worn by other men in the background, suggesting that he is an official figure enforcing order within the university. The inclusion of his beloved bulldogs adds a touch of charm to this otherwise serious scene. These faithful companions serve as a reminder that even those tasked with upholding rules have their softer side. Perhaps they provide some respite from the demanding responsibilities carried out by this dedicated enforcer. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Cambridge University has long been steeped in tradition and upheld its reputation for excellence. This photograph captures not only a moment but also reflects on an era when women were still absent from such institutions. Alfieri's skillful monochrome composition allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty of this image. It serves as a testament to our collective past while offering glimpses into life at one of Europe's most renowned educational establishments during the vibrant 1920s.
