| Date transcribed | 2012-05-21 | | Transcribed by | Robert Charnock | | Comment | Vol 1 F.W. Abbatt to RHE Hutton-Squire.
At a meeting of the Coopers Hill Society in 1959 the lack of any biographical record of students admitted to the Royal Indian Engineering College, Coopers Hill, was discussed. This register is an attempt to complete a record. It may be regarded as an appendix to: A Short History of the Royal Indian Engineering College, Coopers Hill, by J.G.P. Cameron, C.I.E., issued by the Coopers Hill Society for private circulation in 1960.
The names of the students admitted have been taken from the calendars published annually by authority and preserved in the library of the India Office, Whitehall. The biographical details have been compiled mainly from information in the magazines mentioned on page 28 of Camerons History.
