Clifton College Register
The register's motto:
"There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported..."
The Clifton College Register is the definitive set of records held for Clifton College in Bristol. The Register is kept and maintained by the Old Cliftonian Society.Clifton College Annals and Register; 1860-1897 - Publisher: Bristol: J.W. Arrowsmith Publication date: 1897
The record has been maintained unbroken from the start of the school in 1862 and lists every pupil, master and headmaster. Each person is allocated a unique and consecutive school number - and for masters and headmasters the number is prefixed with either an M or HM as appropriate. The Register also maintains a record of the school roll in numbers, the Heads of School and summarises the major sporting records for each year.A history of Clifton College, 1860-1934 - Octavius Francis Christie Published 1935
The Register is periodically published by the Old Cliftonian Society; at present there are three available volumes:
1862 - 1947 1948 - 1977 1978 - 1994
A new edition is currently being prepared (2010).
