    Sad to think all these guys are dead. I wonder what they achieved in their lives. Lovely historical shot.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Indeed, wonder how many went on to science as a career.
  • Christine Curtin said:
    Faces so full of promise.
  • Stuart said:
    How strange - notice that all the labelled chemical bottles are empty !! Wonder could this be a promotional photograph of their new chemistry laboratory- probably taken even before the first chemistry practical class? Obviously the lads are posing with no experiment to be performed. Stuart.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    You could be right, Stu. Watepark College was only 8 years old when this photo was taken: www.waterparkcollege.com/

    I wonder what course that was, there seems to be a high number of women grads for the time?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Absolutely, Sarah, so hoping someone might spot a familiar face that might allow us to narrow it down...

    Several different hoods being worn, these are graduates from several degree courses.

    There is a reference to UCD conferring on Page 3 of the Irish Times of Monday July 17th, but it's behind a paywall. Ditto Page 2 of the Indo that Monday. And the Sunday Indo of the 16th, page 2.

    This is Louis and George Meldon (we think). Hodder is an English Boarding School. See here, for further detail:
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Sharon Corbet Scary speedy, Sharon! So, delighted to be arriving at Boarding School?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Hodder Place info on wikipedia. It was the prep school for Stonyhurst. National Library of Ireland on The Commons That's what I thought - particularly finally joining his older brother.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Sharon Corbet So Louie is probably more properly Louis then. And as Hodder Place was near Clitheroe in Lancashire, that makes Louis an honorary Clitheroe Kid.

    Possibly the vase and steps are on the east (shaded) side of the building - Google satellite view - www.google.com.au/maps/place/Hodder+Place,+Knowles+Brow,+... I think the young gentlemen are happy to find a tennis ball in the vase. Finders keepers!
