| Escrito al dorso: "BRITAIN´S UNIVERSITIES IN WARTIME. This strangely incongruous picture shows undergraduates of Cambridge University in their gowns and mortar boards carrying gas masks, tin hats, and rubber boots, on their way to fire drill. For in an emergency the University has its own fire squad. In the background is Emmanuel College where the drill is taking place.
War has brought many changes to Britain´s two oldest universities. Many of the older scholars have disappeared to join the fighting forces. Many strangers have arrived. The students of a number of London colleges and hospitals, schools and other similar institutions have evacuated to Oxford or Cambridge.
These two university cities have also become the chief cultural of Britain. Some of the best plays, films, concerts, and exhibitions are to be found there.
