  • Chapter-Ii Historical Background of Public Schools
    C H APTER -II HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2.0 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS The purpose of this chapter is to give an account of historical back­ ground of Public Schools, both in England and in India. It is essential to know the origin and development of Public Schools in England, as Public Schools in India had been transplanted from England. 2.1 ORIGIN OF THE TERM PUBLIC SCHOOL The term 'Public School' finds its roots in ancient times. In ancient time kings and bishops used to run the schools for the poor. No fee was charged. All used to live together. It was a union of 'classes'. The expenses were met by public exchequer. Thus the name was given to these schools as Public Schools. 2.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOLS William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester established 'Saint Marie College' at Winchester in 1382. This foundation made a crucial departure from previous practice and thus, has a great historical importance. All the previous schools had been ancillary to other establishments; they Kod been established as parts of cathedrals, collegiate churches, monasteries, chantries, hospitals or university colleges. The significance of this college is its independent nature. 17 Its historian, A.F. Leach says "Thus for the first time a school was established as a sovereign and independent corporation, existing by and for itself, self-centered and self-governed."^ The foundation of Winchester College is considered to be the origin of the English Public School because of three conditions: 1. Pupils were to be accepted from anywhere in England (though certain countries had priority).

This was overall, a lower figure than the normal number of expeditions during ayear. Amongst the foreign expeditions, more that half climbed the usual peaks like Kun, Kedar Dome, Nun and others. Many of the expeditions faced bad weather in mid September and some had to give up due to poor snow and ice conditions in early October. Amongst the high peaks attempted, Changabang and Kamet, now open for foreigners, and Nanda Devi East were important ascents. The leader of the Italian expedition to Nanda Devi East, Marco Dalla Longa lost his life due to high altitude oedema. The team had carried a satellite phone (supposed to be illegal!), which could have saved his life as a helicopter rescue was arranged. However, as the luck would have it, the helicopter took four days to reach due to bad weather and by that time he had lost his life. His body and the entire team were ultimately evacuated to Munsiary and then Delhi. Many expeditions complained of problems in Uttaranchal State, where the Government has imposed a stiff new climbing fee structure.

Each aspect of the School was designed to prepare leaders who would build and serve a great nation. Boys from every background, caste, race, creed, and religion proudly sang the national anthem before it was adopted by a free India; boys and teachers were taught to value service before self; and secularism, discipline, and equality characterised the School’s playgrounds, houses, and classrooms long before these values reached other schools or the nation.

    ESTABLıSHED ın 1936 The Doon School Weekly Saturday, August 16|Issue No. 2379 Regulars Interview Week Gone By Poetry 2 3 3 4 DISCOVERY WEEK AT CERN Preetam Mohan reports on the visit to CERN which took place during the holidays On the 15th of June, a group of nine boys escorted by Dr Ashish Dean left for Geneva, Switzerland to experience life in one of the finest institutions in the world in its field - European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). It was a most exciting prospect as School had organized a program of such magnitude for the first time, and it was supported by the fact that all of us had an interest in the field of work explored at CERN. The five-day internship program kicked off at 0800 hours on the 16th of June, with us meeting some of the topmost authorities at CERN. The highlight was meeting the Director General, Dr Rolf Dieter Heuer himself. The ‘showcases of CERN’, the Microcosm and the Globe provided us a preview of what we might be staring at for the next five days. It, befittingly, related to the modern day applications and we were drawn into the origin and the thoughts that revolved around such discoveries. The day was organized in a way to expose us to what CERN’s aim is: exploring Fundamental questions such as ‘where do we come from?’ and ‘what are we made of?’ These gave the internship the intellectual gravitas that it deserved. After visiting the computing centre we learnt that India has two centers on the CERN radar and we were happy to know that so many countries had pooled in resources to further the cause of science through CERN.
