DescriptionRegister of all those awarded sporting colours during the period 1924-1964. The entries are arranged alphabetically according to the sport and then chronologically. All the records prior to 1940 appear to have been written in the same calligrapher's hand, so it is possible that the volume was first created at this time, and then subsequently added to.

The content includes an index to the sports covered, the section for the relevant sport giving the person's name, the year of the award and the type of award made. Two sets of regulations governing the award of colours, dated June 1951 and February 1959, are included at the front of the volume. A loose insert sheet additionally records errors or omissions from the register [1958?].
Administrative HistoryColours were awarded by the Students' Union to members of the College who had excelled in a particular sport. They were traditionally worn on scarves, ties, blazers and other items of apparel.
