Harrow was the first school to play rackets, as it had easy access to the basic requirements of the game: a flat piece of land and a high wall, which enabled the most skilled players to hit the ball at speeds of up to 160 miles per hour. The School's Old Court was built in 1865 and was the first closed and covered court at any school. The new court is named in honour of two OHs, John Prenn (The Head Master's 19663) and Charles Hue Williams (Bradbys 19562), who were not only master players in their day but have been faithful supporters of the game for many years. The first tournament on the new court was against Eton.

T The transition from the Fifth Form, with the milestones of GCSEs behind them, is an important stage in boys’ academic careers at Harrow, bringing the opportunity to choose from a wide range of A level and Elective subjects. In making their choices, boys can play to their academic strengths and develop their intellectual passions. In the Sixth Form, boys will find that they need to take more responsibility for organising themselves. Divisions are smaller, the atmosphere is more informal, and beaks will generally look for more initiative from boys in their approach to academic work. We will expect boys to read widely, both in relation to and beyond their subjects.

I have added the titles of those hooks of which I know, but do not possess copies: these I have distinguished with an asterisk (*) in the hope that I may hear of copies of them for sale or exchange.

There are, however, many anonymous authors still to be identified, and I shall gratefully receive any information on this or other subjects by way of addenda to or corrigenda of the Bibliography.
