in 1571. The institution is conducted on principles
similar to those which regulate Eton College, and, like
the latter, Harrow has the honour of being the school
at which some very distinguished men have been edu-
cated. Members of tbe governing body are chosen by
tbe Lord Chancellor, the Universities of Oxford, Cam-
bridge, and London, the Royal Society, and the assistant
masters of the school. Up to 1837 the education given
was exclusively classical; it now embraces every chief
department of modern culture.
