"
The Scotch Collegian - A Magazine of Work, Games, Old Boys News provides a fascinating record of life at Scotch College, Melbourne, during the turbulent years of 1914 to 1918. Across six issues spanning the First World War period, the magazine captures the rhythm of school life, including academic achievements, sporting triumphs, creative writing, and reports on debating, music, and cultural activities. Its pages also include contributions from students and staff, offering a lively snapshot of educational values and traditions in an era when Australian society was being reshaped by war.
Equally important are the "Old Boys News" sections, which detail the movements and sacrifices of former pupils serving overseas. These updates mix pride with poignancy, listing enlistments, promotions, and, tragically, casualties. Together, the issues offer more than just school chronicles—they form a social and historical document that reflects how a Melbourne institution navigated the Great War years, balancing continuity of school spirit with the wider realities of loss, service, and national identity."
General wear to covers & spine. December 1918 has loose covers otherwise binding in general is excellent with no loose pages. Pages are clean and well presented. Nice copies of a scarce early collection of Melbourne History Reference books in good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
