As pupils in Britain's largest, most expensive (average total yearly cost: $2,000) and most famed public school,- they will spend some five years on the green campus in the shadow of many a fine Gothic building, across the Thames from Windsor Castle. Some of them will go up to Oxford when they finish their course, spend three years there, return then to Eton to teach Latin and cricket to the boys. Their progress through the school depends quite upon their own aptitudes. They must finish...
