Excerpt from Vert De Vert's Eton Days: And Other Sketches and Memories

Eton has changed from age to age in accord ance with the circumstances and feelings of the times. Sir Thomas Wyat obtained the provostship from Henry VIII. Because it would bring him his diet, lodging, horse-meat, servant's wages, riding charges, and one hundred pounds a year. The headmaster's remuneration ought certainly to have been liberal at this time, for he gave much in return. Tusser the agriculturist bears witness to the activity of the terrible Udall at Eton.
