Excerpt from A History of Upper Canada College, 1829-1892: With Contributions by Old Upper Canada College Boys, Lists of Head-Boys, Exhibitioners, University Scholars and Medallists, and a Roll of the School A History of Upper Canada College needs no introduction to the class to whom this book especially appeals, except for the opportunity it offers of thanking many of them for the kind assistance the editors have received in its preparation. The object has been to produce a history of the College, written for the most part by Old College Boys themselves. Among those, besides the Editors, who have contributed to the volume or furnished materials for it, are: The Rev. Henry Scadding, D. D., who entered the College in 1829; Hon. John Beverley Robinson, 1830; William Wallbridge, Sr., 1833; William Wedd, M. A., 1837; W. Thomson, Esq., 1837; C. J. Rykert, Q. C., 1846; N. O. Walker, M. A., M. D., 1847; J. Ross Robertson, Esq., 1850; Rupert E. Kingsford, M. A., LL. B., 1859; Rev. T. F. Fotheringham, M. A., 1863; D. R. Keys, M. A., 1868; W. N. Ponton, M. A., 1870; G. G. S. Lindsey, M. A., 1871; Rev. J. Street Macklem, M. A., 1874; A. H. Young, M. A., 1878; A. A. Macdonald, M. A., 1879; S. B. Leacock, B. A., 1881; J. E. Hall, Secretary of the Canadian Cricket Association. The chapters are classified, and the story told under the regimes of the Head Masters, beginning with that of the Rev. Joseph Harris, D. D., the first to hold the position. It is impossible within reasonable limits to be at the same time comprehensive and exhaustive. It has not been the aim to make the work biographical. The lives of Old College Boys, however prominent, have not been dwelt on save in so far as was necessary to illustrate their connection with the College. Lists of Head-Boys, Exhibitioners, University Scholars and Medallists, together with the Roll of the School from 1829 to 1892, and the Cricket teams during the same period are appended.
