This clue might be a double definition.

'conservative's' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'alma mater' is the second definition.

Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for old-school that I've seen is " Such as attitudes from earlier days".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
