University of Sheffield history in pictures - students, sports and Rag Day

Sheffield’s two universities bring thousands of students from home and abroad into the city each year.

These photographs supplied from the Sheffield Archives are all about university life.

This week the pictures relate to The University of Sheffield. Next week they will be on Sheffield Hallam Uni.
