Search the Oxford Men and Their Colleges 1880-1892 on Familyrelatives.com The Oxford Men and their Colleges Matriculation Register 1880-1892 with a record of their Schools, Honours and Degrees is the most recent addition to our ever expanding School and Alumni registers collection to over 140,000 pupils, alumni and masters dating back to 1500. The present work continues and completes "Alumni Oxonienses" containing the Matriculation Register from 1880 to 1902 alphabetically arranged as a distinct division, to which has been added where practicable birthdays, schools, honours, and degrees. It also includes cross-references to all the biographical notices under the respective colleges or elsewhere in the other portion of the work, in addition to the index in that volume. "While the MATRICULATION REGISTER has been placed at my service as before by the University Authorities, the Heads of Houses have allowed me full access to their COLLEGE RECORDS, from which, in the majority of instances, I have been enabled to glean the birthdays and schools of their members since 1880, thus accentuating and perpetuating the link between the Schools and the Universities. Moreover, from the official University publications, viz.: the Honours register, Calendar, and Gazette, I have incorporated the particulars of the Honours, the degrees, and the appointments relating to each individual. This elaborate array of facts, together with the miscellaneous annotations from Crockford and my own collections, especially parliamentary and legal, should prove a trustworthy and unique guide, such as can be found nowhere else, to the rising generation of Oxford Men, destined to play so large a part in the government and intellectual life of this country." - by Joseph Foster The registers are exceptionally well detailed and usually give the surname, father's name, social status, occupation or profession and residence (town/county), whether he was his father's only, eldest, second son and so on. The date of admission "matric", date of birth, school, honours, and degrees may be listed. A typical biography reads as follows; Miller, Thomas Frederick Dawson, born at Gateshead, co. Durham, 20 Dec., 1868 ; 2s Thomas Robson, gen. TRINITY, matric. 16 Oct., 86, aged 18 (from Durham School), B.A. 90 ( HONOURS : - 2 law 90) ; bar. - at - law, Inner Temple, 91. Matriculation, in the broadest sense, means to be registered or added to a list and the word matriculation derives from the Latin "matricula" which means register, roll or list. In this instance "matric." refers to the date one is admitted into a university or college. Illustrations and portraits of some of the students and masters as well as Sport Teams photographs are included.
