Reginald Roper and the Secondary Schoolmasters’ Physical Education Association
Reginald Roper (1875–1950) was the first British schoolmaster to train at the Royal Central Gymnastic Institute in Stockholm. This essay traces his career at Eton College and Bedales School before examining his seminal book, Physical Education in Relation to School Life. Roper was the leading light of the Secondary Schoolmasters’ Physical Education Association (SSPEA), founded to match the women’s Ling Physical Education Association. The SSPEA wo…
John Charles Thring
N. L. Jackson, in his celebrated early history of the game, Association Football (1899), judged that John Charles Thring had laid the ‘the groundwork on which the Association code was built’. Thring’s rules for The Simplest Game, first published in 1862, and his call for a ‘football parliament’, in 1863, are two examples. Thring’s enthusiasm for the game spanned more than thirty years from the 1830s: playing at Winchester College and Shrewsbury S…
Beyond The Close
Every assistant master appointed at Rugby School between 1782 and 1829 was an Oxford man. Thomas Arnold, headmaster since 1828, broke with tradition in 1830 when he invited James Prince Lee to teach the second highest form: Lee was a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. This minor revolution prompted many Rugbeians to choose Cambridge rather than Oxford, with an average of thirty-three Old Rugbeians at Trinity throughout the 1840s. There, alongs…
Imitating the epic battles of old’
Football was the winter game at Uppingham School, a boys’ boarding school in the English Midlands, throughout the headmastership of Edward Thring. The rules of play were never static for they evolved under pressures from boys, former pupils, masters and the headmaster, and through comparison with the football codes played at other schools and at the universities. An examination of the rich archive material held at the school enables a case study …
A History of Eton Fives
One of the Worst Statistics in British Sport, and Wholly Unacceptable’
Much has been published on sport in Britain's private schools of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, but no research of modern policy, practice and outcomes has been conducted since the 1970s. Assessment of the contribution of these schools to Team GB at recent summer Olympic Games – and to international sport in general – by politicians, sports leaders and physical education lobbyists has thus largely been informed by speculation. Future governmen…
‘To the Glory that was Greece’
It was John Stuart Mill who once remarked that the Greeks were the initiators of nearly everything, Christianity excepted, of importance in the western world, and no study of nineteenth-century English education can ignore them. Throughout the Victorian and Edwardian eras the two classical languages, Latin and Greek, dominated the curriculum of the public schools — generally taking more than half of the available classroom time. Most schoolmaster…
