Our Old Cottonians’ brotherhood is a lifelong bond forged on the hills of Shimla, built on shared memories, values, and a sense of belonging to a legacy that spans generations… 165 years …From school days to beyond, our fraternity connects alumni across the world, fostering camaraderie, support, and we share a very fierce pride in our alma mater.
Whether it’s reminiscing about early morning PT on the second flat, challenging hikes to nearby hills to scaling Mount Everest…late-night dorm stories, battling Sanawar …socials with Chelsea and Auckies, our shared experiences create a common thread that ties us Old Cottonians together, no matter where life takes us. Our brotherhood isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about carrying forward the spirit of Bishop Cotton School, Simla — a spirit of resilience, curiosity, and service.
As Old Cottonians, we look out for each other, celebrate each other’s successes, and stand together through troughs, waves and challenges . Our global network of alumni is a testament to the enduring impact of our school days and the values instilled in us.
Mutare Sperno “ I scorn to change “
Servamus “ I serve “
Facta non verba “ Deeds not words “
Nec Impetu Nec imperio “ Neither by force nor by power”
AND
“OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD”
We must continue to nurture our brotherhood, SUPPORT one another, and make a difference in our own ways..
Our fraternity connects us across continents, cultures, and generations. To our global fraternity: we must keep the spirit of Bishop Cotton School alive, wherever we are in the world. Share your stories, reconnect with brothers, and let’s strengthen further the bonds that make us True Old Cottonians.
COTTONIANS.. on the road to everywhere ..!
