The Victoria College Magazine( Vol. VII, No.2) is a remarkable snapshot of intellectual life during a turbulent period of world history. Produced by students and faculty of Victoria College, Palakkad, the magazine reflects how young minds in pre-independence India engaged with global events, philosophy, science, love and social responsibility
One of its distinctive features is its multilingual character. Alongside English articles, the magazine also carries contributions in Indian languages such as Malayalam and Tamil, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the campus and the inclusive academic culture of the time. Essays like “At the Cross Roads” grapple with the moral and ideological conflicts of World War II,while pieces such as “Study of Nature” and “On Falling in Love at First Sight” reveal a thoughtful blend of science, literature and human emotion. The magazine also documents academic life through articles on engineering laboratories, educational excursions and campus activities offering a rare institutional memory of the era.
