Excerpt from The Balliol College Register: 1832 1914 There is not much necessity for an introduction in a book of this kind, but the following facts may be interesting to members of the College. The Register represents a ' Who's Who' of Balliol men now living, containing details more particularly about their careers at College and in the University. The alphabetical arrangement was chosen as the most convenient for reference. At p. 381 will be found the Roll of Balliol College - a chronological list of names taken from the admission book. Since the receipt of the returns I regret to say that the College has lost some of its old members. Their names have been retained and a note has been added recording the date of death when known. There are 2,412 names in the Register, and it will be found that the professions of our old members may be classified approximately as follows: Barristers, 388; Clergymen, 254; Indian Civil Servants, 249; Readers, Lecturers, Schoolmasters, Tutors, 197; Fellows of Oxford Colleges, 175; Home Civil Servants, 129; Professors, 101; Solicitors, 67; Members of Parliament, 56; Army, 51; Diplomacy, 51; Medical, 46; Colonial Civil Servants, 42; Journalists, 33; Ministers of State, 22; Bankers, 19; Land Agents, 10; Heads of Oxford Colleges, 9. The above figures have not been checked in minute detail, and they include members who have retired from their respective posts or professions.
