Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Shrewsbury School Various events have happened during the last few years which are calculated to bring Old Salopians more frequently together, and to renew or increase their interest in the school where they were educated. Of these the most important is the foundation of the Old Salopian Club, which now numbers more than seven hundred members. Under its auspices the Triennial Dinner has become a permanent institution, and the "Year Book," which is sent to all its members, supplies them with a valuable record of any occurrences connected with Shrewsbury School which are likely to be of interest to its past or present scholars. The revival of the annual Speech Day is another important event in the recent annals of the school. Two books also have appeared during the last eight years which could not fail to be of deep interest to Shrewsbury men. First, Dr Calvert's admirable edition of the Regestum Scholarium from 1562 to 1635, which was published in 1892; and, secondly, The Life and Letters of Dr. Samuel Battler, edited by his grandson, which appeared in 1896. Another book, and one which will perhaps excite greater interest among the younger generations of Salopians, may, not improbably, see the light before the present year comes to an end. It comprises, among other matters of school interest, a list of Shrewsbury scholars during the past century, with biographical notes, on which the Rev. J. E. Auden has bestowed much time and labour. It remains for me now to speak briefly of the volume to which these words are intended to form an Introduction.
