This book contains a selection of photographs that shows something of the life of Scotch College, Melbourne, from its beginnings in 1851 until present times.
During Scotch's many decades, observers have looked at it in different ways and have looked for different things; some themes recur, others do not. Faithful treatement of the original photographic material serves to capture not only the school as it was at each given moment but also the eye of the photographer as it was at that time. While the school's chief activity - teaching - was rarely photographed, the moods and attitudes of boys and staff, along with great sporting moments and the architectural and natural environment, are writ large and powerful. The outcome is a charming and illuminating perspective on the life of this iconic Melbourne institution.
