'''Rugby School''' is a major public school (the equivalent of a private school in the US) in the town of [[Rugby, Warwickshire]], central [[England]]. It has three claims to fame: Thomas Arnold, its headmaster from 1828 to 1841, was the architect of the [[Victorian]] public school, with its emphasis on [[muscular Christianity]], sporting effort and the study of the classics; Arnold's reforms inspired the famous novel by Thomas Hughes, ''[[Tom Brown's Schooldays]]''; and the sport of [[Rugby Union]] was named after the school, having supposedly been invented by a scholar named William Webb-Ellis, who, according to legend, while playing [[football]], picked the ball up and ran with it.

Its claims to fame include Thomas Arnold, its headmaster from 1828 to 1841, who was the architect of the [[Victorian]] public school, with its emphasis on [[muscular Christianity]], sporting effort and the study of the classics; the famous novel by Thomas Hughes, ''[[Tom Brown's Schooldays]]'', inspired by Hughes' admiration for Arnold's reforms; and the sport of [[Rugby Union]], which was named after the school, having supposedly been invented by a scholar named William Webb-Ellis, who, according to legend, while playing [[football]], picked the ball up and ran with it. Numerous famous authors, lawyers and scientists are Old Rugbeians, as former pupils of Rugby are known, including [[Salman Rushdie]] and [[Anthony Horowitz]]. Politicians educated at Rugby include [[Neville Chamberlain]], whose disastrous policy of [[appeasement]] of [[Nazi]] Germany overshadowed a lifetime of achievement in the field of social reform.
