The book was originally started, at the opposite end, as a register of old members with their names on the boards. This runs from p. 261 (Abbott, Frederick James) to p.195 (Chamberlain, Revd Walter) but entries after p. 219 are deleted to make room for the second function of the book. The entries for old members give date of senior degree and address.
