Rugby School Register From May 1874 To May 1904 PDF Download

Excerpt from Rugby School Register, Vol. 3: From May, 1874, to May, 1904 This volume comprises a second edition of the portion of the School Register printed in 1891, and a continuation of the list of admissions from Easter, 1887, to the present term. The names, as is well known, are taken from the Headmaster's Album, and the revision consists in replacing, where possible, by full names the initials by which alone some of the parents have been registered; in adding changes of their rank or title; in inserting the letters o.r., followed by the dates of their entering the School, when the fact of their being themselves Old Rugbeians has been ascertained; in correcting mistakes in the names of the sons, and in stating the order of their birth, whenever this information has been supplied; and lastly, in, giving the date of leaving. In the annotation the design has been to append to each name the principal School, College, and other educational honours or distinctions; the entry upon any profession or business, with dates; and the present address. An Athletic Record is also included, but is confined to the principal School Events, the Football XV., the Cricket Xl., the Shooting VIII., the Racquet Pair, and the Crick Run. An asterisk following the numerals denotes the position of twelfth man for cricket, or its equivalent in football or shooting. The Register Forms, instituted in 1891, to be filled up by boys in their first term, and to supply details not contained in the Album, have proved of great value in revising the entries, which ought to be now nearly perfect. For the annotation, circulars have been posted to all Old Rugbeians of the period embraced, but the percentage of replies has been very low, and many of the replies were incomplete. To trace the careers of those who failed to reply, lists have been sent to all House Masters; and local lists to Old Rugbeians in some thirty of the large towns; and the Editor has received much help from these sources.
