Hi Bob, Remember that for the 19th century London-based civil service mandarins who devised the classification scheme a club was a London institution which provided meals, drinking facilities, common rooms and accommodation for its members whereas a college was an institution in Oxford and Cambridge that provided similar facilities for the students and lecturers enrolled in it.

I am seeing some evidence that the 1891 classification was to: Domestic class - servants - college or club servants. "Club" was just the abstractors abbreviation of this. "club or college services" were this distinguished from "inn or hotel servants", "hospital and institution service", "lodge or gate keepers". In 1891 there were 7,527 male college or club servants.
