Not just the uniform of white tie and black tailcoat, vest and pin-striped trousers, but a collection of customs and slang whose mastery confers membership in the brotherhood. Teachers are "beaks," the three school terms are called "halves," "wet bobs" are rowers, "tugs" are the 70 especially bright King's Scholars, who live together in a house called "College" on reduced fees, as stipulated by the school's founder, Henry...
