In 1877, alumni Sir Henry Morris (1855-59) and Sir Frederick Taylor (1855-59), who maintained a strong friendship throughout life, together with Francis John Marshall (1856-1861) and William Warwick Wagstaffe (1855-59), called a meeting at St James Hall, Piccadilly “for the purpose of organising a club which has as its object, the occasional meeting of those who have been educated at the College”.
More than 100 Old Epsomians attended and it was decided to hold annual dinners in March, July and December.
Morris was elected Treasurer, a post which he only gave up at the 40th meeting in 1919, and Taylor served as Secretary until 1886.
The Epsomian Club, as it was first known, flourished with a regular influx of new members. The vision of these founders started an organisation which has become an institution of great benefit to Epsom College and its members, and thrives today with thousands of alumni actively involved across the world.
Today, the OE Club is led by a small Treasury committee who oversee all finances and activities.
