Cornell Capa captures returning students at Winchester College in 1951.
I actually have the AC on as I write this — hello Indian summer!
Seeing all of this delicious tweed is such a tease.
Quite Continental 
Great pix. Not much change in outfit between 1951 and when I attended in 1971. Stet Res Wiccamica.
The last picture of a Collegeman and a Commoner walking by War Cloisters (out of view on left) is especially quilling. Probably future QC and MP. The first picture- a smiling 4th yr. Cookite? The concerned man in pic No. 4 a jun Chawkerite? Judging by the rope in pic #5, these Collegemen are watching a Win Co Fo match. Pic #2 – Manners Mayketh Man motto under the windows.
It’s all ahead of you then…
