Wallpaper Wednesday: Berkeley, Respice Finem
The latest design in Bernews’ weekly Wallpaper Wednesday series celebrates one of the island’s most distinguished schools as The Berkeley Institute marks their 125th anniversary this week, with the design incorporating the school motto of ‘Respice Finem.’
According to the school’s website, “On September 6, 1897, The Berkeley Institute [elementary and high school] was opened on the ground floor of the Samaritan’s Hall, Court Street, Hamilton. At that time, it was a private school [parents had to pay a fee]. The principal was George A. DaCosta.
“There were fifteen boys and twelve girls present. On November 25, 1899, a parcel of land was purchased from a Miss Eve for 300 pounds. This is the site of the Berkeley Institute school on St. John’s Road, Pembroke. In 1933, it became a secondary school only.”
The design is available in two sizes; a Facebook profile cover image and also in a vertical format, ideally sized for use as a mobile phone wallpaper, WhatsApp status image or Instagram story. You can download both sizes below, and check back on Bernews every Wednesday for our latest free graphic download and you can view more Berkeley themed designs here on BermudaCovers.com.
