Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cheltenham College Register, 1841-1889 To make a book of this nature absolutely correct is of course an impossible task, but it is hoped that this Register may nevertheless prove of great interest not only to all Cheltonians, but also to those who have been in any way officially connected with the College and for any errors that occur the writer craves their indulgence, and would be glad to have them pointed out, so that they may be put right in the event of another edition of the Register being published at some future period. The history of the College here given was very kindly undertaken by the late Rev. H. E. Bayly, whose intimate connection with Cheltenham, both as a boy and Master, for the long period of forty-two years - 1842-84 - entitled him to speak with authority on the subject. The description of the buildings is from the able hand of Mr. H. A. Prothero, the well-known architect at Cheltenham, himself an Old Cheltonian, and who received much valuable assistance from Mr. Rainger, builder to the College. The permanent photographic prints are from negatives supplied by Mr. White, of Weston Villa, Cheltenham, to whose care and trouble are due the very successful results given. In conclusion, especial thanks are due to Mr. Francis J. Cade, without whose aid - as also that of the Rev. William Vassall - during the preliminary stages it would have been well-nigh impossible to have carried the work out at all; to Mr. Basil H. Soulsby, who spared himself no trouble in collecting information, and whose assistance has been invaluable; to Sir Ralph W. Thompson, Permanent Under Secretary for War, for having permitted the records at the War Office to be utilized for all details respecting Old Cheltonians in the Army, much of which it would otherwise have not been possible to obtain; and to Mr. Hughes, of the Secretary's Office, on whom devolved the great labour of writing up the original Register books from the manuscript documents.
