Lord Henry Alexander Egerton is son of Francis Egerton, 7th Duke of Sutherland The Royal Agricultural College is a private British university situated in Cirencester in Gloucestershire in the UK. Founded in 1844, he acquired a royal charter a year later. Prince Charles is the president since 1984 ------ Eton College, the flagship of the British public school is a school for boys founded in 1440 by King Henry VI of England, located in Eton, Berkshire near Windsor Castle, 40 miles west of London. School elitist and very expensive, from premises including historical account is a remarkable Gothic chapel, public school of record of the royal family of England, Eton has developed a scholarship scheme to facilitate access to less fortunate students. The length of the school is reflected in many traditions, including the specific uniform worn by students. Moreover, close ties unite Eton at the University of Cambridge, joined the majority that the alumni of Eton. Cost Eton is a boarding school housing about 1290 students aged thirteen to eighteen years. The tuition for one academic year amounts to 26,490 pounds sterling (about € 32 000). Seventy students per year, called the King's Scholars ("Scholars of the King") receive a scholarship of an amount of at least one quarter of the price of tuition and are housed in the college. About one third of the other students, Oppidan, receive financial assistance. The assumption of this prestigious school is made after the passage of an examination which determines the allocation of such grants. The "two" Eton] There are two types of students at Eton: * The King's Scholars ("Scholars of the King"), who have passed an examination (as was the case of John Maynard Keynes) who do not pay. At the time of Keynes, teachers warned the stock, which they expected better results at school, asking them not to take example from Oppidan which, thereafter, would require less work than them. Organization The scholars are placed under the authority of the Master in College and resident buildings in some of the main enclosure. The Oppidan are divided into Houses, located in the neighborhood and adjacent streets, and led by House Masters, usually married, although this is not a prerequisite for their appointment, under whose authority the ladies ensure stewardship and well-being of students. Students are supervised by tutors that they choose themselves and they become the private Pupils. As such, they benefit from their tutor teaching a three weekly sessions of 40 minutes spent in activities intended to broaden their cultural horizons. One of these sessions is mandatory on Sunday morning. The school year is divided into three terms, Michaelmas, Lent and Summer. A quarter is called half. A class session, lasting about 40 minutes, and sometimes school is called, but it is then an amalgam with the different sections, div. Since the 1950s, by agreement with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Quai d'Orsay), the College recruits a French teacher, most often resulting from an ENS and always aggregate of English, whose contract is two years, renewable twice. He teaches French language and literature, and led the French Circle. He is paid by the college and receive a supplement paid by the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in London. Traditions The motto of Eton consists of two Latin words Floreat Eton, "May Eton flourish". The school is known for its alumni, Old Etonians, and its traditions, its example is the dress uniform, simplified for younger students, the lower boys, and complete for the older boys the upper . The boys are lower under the authority of the lower master, all students under that of the Head Master (traditionally written in two words). Some of the upper boys are co-opted into an elite club called Pop or Eton Society, whose members are identifiable by their gray pants and vests of varying colors and showy. Teachers are called masters and also slang for the school, beaks, which means "nose." The scope within which students have the right to move freely is called "within bounds" is beyond "out of bounds." In the main street, Eton High Street, right in the direction of Windsor, a pub is open to students who bears the name of "tap" (tap), the consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly regulated. Every day at eleven o'clock, all teachers met in the great room called Chambers, located at the floor of the building facing the street, decorated with busts of many famous alumni. This traditional meeting is called, also, Chambers. The Director addresses the community of teachers, expressing his instructions and news about college life. It is also an opportunity for all meetings and discussions regarding the conduct or progress of students. Sometimes, the most solemn occasions, the Director meets the masters in MacNaughten Library: here, for example, that Dr. Robert Birley, prestigious Head Master, announced his departure in 1964 for a college education mission South Africa then subjected to apartheid, and received at the end of his speech a standing ovation from about half an hour. The school has developed over the ages jargon that is understood only by insiders. For example, "feels up for good" means "referred to good results", "sock up" is a snack, usually Tudor Blinds which is left after the bridge entering the High Street, etc. [ 1]. The school has a close historical relationship with the University of Cambridge, where the majority of students were following their graduation diploma (S level which follows the A levels). For about twenty years, students are divided into the historic Oxbridge universities and also in the Red Bricks and Modern Universities. Traditionally, the male members of the royal family of England were sent to Eton. However, Prince Charles was educated at Gordonstoun in Scotland, where his father, the Duke of Edinburgh himself was gone. Increasingly, however, the College receives students from backgrounds other than the aristocracy or the bourgeoisie, for example, children of rich foreigners. The method of registration at birth has recently been abolished. The selection is based on merit (see the official website of the college for procedures). One of the most characteristic buildings of the college is its impressive Gothic chapel. This place of worship has a choir of boys and men of high level under the direction of the precentor, assisted by several music teachers. The front of the stairs overlooking the central courtyard is used as a facade for a kind of real tennis being one of the traditional sports of the college, as well as the wall-to-row game. ----- History Eton was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI of England as charity, as charity school. His intention is to offer seventy poor students free education which allows them then to go to King's College, Cambridge, part of Cambridge University, he founded in 1441. When Henry VI founded the school, it assigns large endowments, including an estate of great value, and setting out plans to build impressive buildings (Henry VI wanted to make the nave of the chapel of the College the longest in Europe), with religious relics to establish the status of the college, such as a piece of the True Cross and Crown of Thorns. He even managed to convince the pope of the time, Eugene IV, to give the college a privilege unparalleled in the rest of England, the right to grant indulgences to penitents on the day of the Assumption. However, when Henry VI was introduced by Edward IV in 1461, the new king cancels all donations to the school, and removes most of the treasures and put them on the other side of the Thames at St George's Chapel, Windsor. According to legend, Jane Shore intervenes and manages to protect the school [2], although the royal staffing and staffing leaving greatly reduced. Moreover, Edward IV, revoking scholarships arriving on the throne, the intervention of Jane Shore would have to save them. Since the school loses its charitable, it is funded by patrons that honors by placing the names on the walls. The construction of the chapel, originally planned to be a little more than twice as long [3], with 18 or maybe 17 berries (it has only 8 today) is stopped when Henry VI was introduced and only the Quire of the planned building is completed. It Wainflete William, the first provost of Eton, formerly Principal of the College of Winchester, who built the front chapel complements the chapel as it is today. In the nineteenth century, the architect John Shaw Junior designing new buildings for schools that improve student housing. Fulke Charles Granville Egerton, |
