When professors looked like professors

Professor N.H. Nilsson

There was a time when university professors were a highly respected elite in their communities. And they also had the right "look", as you can see from these Swedish early 20th century professors, appearing on the cover of the weekly news magazine "Hvar 8 Dag" (Every eighth Day) in 1906. The magazine regularly featured academics on its cover page.
