Known locally as College, Maritzburg College is a public school for boys situated in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. It was founded in 1863 and is the oldest boys' high school in KZN – as well as being one of the oldest schools in South Africa. It has produced many Old Boys who have distinguished themselves. Amongst its former scholars it can count 11 South African senators, six generals, two admirals, a Commissioner of Police, eight Officers Commanding of the Natal Carbineers, arguably South Africa's pre-eminent English author, two Chancellors of the University of Natal, three Directors of Education, two bishops, a Chief Justice, 10 judges, three Attorneys-General, and 23 Rhodes scholars. College has also produced locally and internationally acclaimed sportsmen, with a tally of over 235 to date, and as such is amongst the most produced by a single South African school. Amongst that number are a former Mr USA (bodybuilding), 26 SA captains, nine captains of polo alone, six 2008 Olympians, four 2012 Olympians, and the "man who won the 2005 Ashes" for England, Kevin Pietersen.

This acclaimed 518-page tour de force by noted retired history master, Simon Haw (with assistance from another former teacher, Richard Frame), was brought out at the end of 1988, to celebrate the school's 125th anniversary. Offering a deep, intimate, scholarly yet at times light-hearted history of a school that is rich in heritage and tradition, the book is regarded as one of the finest histories ever written of a South African school. It is not commercially available.
