The Old Cliftonian Society and The Clifton College Register
The Old Cliftonian Society is the Society for the alumni of Clifton College — whether pupils or staff. The OCS organises reunions at the school and publishes a newsletter for alumni. Alumni are known as Old Cliftonians or OCs.
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 official set of records held for Clifton College in Bristol. The Register is kept and maintained by the Old Cliftonian Society.
These records have been maintained unbroken from the start of the school in 1862 and list every pupil, master and headmaster. Each person is allocated a school number — for masters and headmasters the number is prefixed with either an M or HM. 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.
The Register is published by the Old Cliftonian Society; there are three volumes:
-
- 1862 - 1947
- 1948 - 1977
- 1978 - 1994

Milo: Why?
Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.”
