ABSTRACT
>During the years of hearty athletic back-slapping and through the brash imperial pomp and show, the modest Thringian ideal – now rebranded as wholeness or total education – lived on at smaller, less hearty and less brash schools. This lifeline is traced through the work of an educationalist – L. P. Jacks – and six headmasters – Cecil Reddie, J. H. Badley, George Howson, M. L. Jacks, Thorold Coade and Kurt Hahn. Eventually, under the leadership of John Wolfenden in the 1930s and John Royds in the 1960s, the ideal of true manliness returned to Uppingham.
