EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to College de Montaigu in Paris, France, circa 1789. The College de Montaigu, an esteemed educational institution with a rich history, was founded in 1314 by Gilles Aycelin, Archbishop of Narbonne. Over the centuries, it has been a beacon of learning, attracting students from all corners of Europe. In this photograph, we see a group of young scholars gathered around a statue, likely engaged in a lesson. The statue, though not clearly visible, is believed to represent one of the renowned figures in the history of education. Among those who have been associated with the College de Montaigu are Erasmus of Rotterdam, John Calvin, and Ignatius Loyola. The College de Montaigu played a significant role in the intellectual and cultural development of Paris during the late 18th century. This period was marked by the Enlightenment, a time of great intellectual and philosophical advancement. The students in this photograph, dressed in the fashion of the era, would have been exposed to the latest ideas and theories, preparing them for careers in various fields. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the importance of education and the role it plays in shaping the future. The students in this photograph, much like those of today, were eager to learn and contribute to the world around them. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of education and the impact it has on individuals and society as a whole.
