The Alleynian (UK)

The Alleynian, the "Official Rag" of Dulwich College, first came out in 1873 and has been, through various incarnations, a printed record of College life ever since. [from the College website]

Wodehouse attended Dulwich from May 1894 to July 1900 and was active in sports during his tenure there, though there is at least one less than flattering entry in the magazine about his cricketing prowess. He contributed poems to the Alleynian, and in his last year at Dulwich he was one of five editors of the magazine. He continued to visit the school and write sporting reports for the magazine as an avid Old Alleynian whenever he could.
