The image, created circa 1921 by the talented artist Alfred Coffey, invites us to step back in time and experience the grandeur of this historic institution. The University of Sydney, founded over 170 years ago, is a testament to the enduring pursuit of knowledge and intellectual growth. Its motto, "Sidere mens eadem mutato," translates to "The stars change, the mind remains the same." This profound statement speaks to the university's commitment to fostering a community of lifelong learners, where the ever-changing cosmos serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of the human mind. The intricately detailed etching captures the beauty and elegance of the university's architecture, with its ornate arches, intricate carvings, and timeworn stones. The image transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the countless students who have passed through these doors, each leaving their mark on the institution's rich history. As we gaze upon this timeless work of art, we are reminded of the enduring power of education and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. The "Doorway, Sydney University" etching is not only a stunning work of art but also a precious window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the history and traditions of one of Australia's most esteemed institutions.
