EDITORS COMMENTS
The Founders Statue at Royal Holloway College, Egham, Surrey: A Symbol of Educational Legacy Nestled at the heart of Royal Holloway College's picturesque south quadrangle stands a magnificent marble statue, a testament to the institution's rich history. The statue, sculpted by Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, also known as Count Gleichen, depicts Thomas Holloway and his wife Jane. Thomas Holloway, a successful businessman and philanthropist, and his wife Jane, a devoted supporter of education, founded Royal Holloway College in 1886. Their vision was to provide higher education opportunities for women, a groundbreaking initiative during that era. The statue, which has been the centrepiece of the quad since its unveiling in 1893, is a symbol of the founders' enduring legacy. Thomas Holloway is depicted in academic robes, holding a scroll, while Jane, dressed in Victorian attire, holds a book, signifying their commitment to learning and knowledge. Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a renowned sculptor, was an excellent choice to create this masterpiece. His intricate carving highlights the couple's character and their dedication to education. The statue is a reminder of the founders' vision and their significant contribution to the world of higher education for women. The Founders Statue, with its striking beauty and historical significance, is a must-see attraction for visitors to Royal Holloway College. It stands proudly, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the importance of education in shaping our future.
