ETON

Eton is one of the oldest and best-known public schools for boys, at the town of Eton, near Windsor, on the river Thames. Its students are largely from aristocratic and upper-class families.

Many distinguished people of Britain studied at Eton. The most famous of all Old Etonians is perhaps the Duke of Wellington, victor of Waterloo and later Prime Minister. Twenty of Britain's Pri­me Ministers were educated at Eton. There were future writers among the students of Eton from Thomas Gray, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Henry Fielding to Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. Political and literary friendships were often formed at Eton: the association of the writers Thomas Gray and Horace Walpole is one of many examples. Old Etonian explor­ers include Sir Humphrey Gilbert, found­er of the colony of Newfoundland, and Captain Oates, who was on Scott's expe­dition to the South Pole. Among the sci­entists are Robert Boyle, Sir John Herschel, and Sir Joseph Banks.

Boys usually stay at Eton for five years (between the ages of 13-18). Eton pro­vides exceptionally fine teaching facili­ties, for example in science, languages, computing and design. There are two ma­jor libraries, College Library and School Library, but also numerous well-stocked subject libraries. The tutorial system al­lows pupils to choose their own academic tutors to supervise their work.

Sport plays an extremely important part in the life of most Etonians. The principal games are rugby and football, cricket and rowing. Athletics, swimming, golf, squash, tennis, fencing, judo and karate are all very popular.

The boys are offered a very wide range of opportunities for spare-time activities: art, sculpture, pottery and print-making, woodwork, metalwork and silverwork; almost any musical instrument can be le­arnt; fifty societies, run by boys themsel­ves, cater for enormous number of inte­rests.

Eton enjoys its advantages but it re­tains a friendly and intimate atmosphere which is possible when boys live and work in units of small size.
