— The Old School Tie is the diagonally striped neckpiece of a graduate of one of Britain's Public Schools, so called because for 500 years they have been supposed to prepare young men for public service. They are extremely private schools, demanding rigid social qualifications as well as an average of $1,000 a year tuition fees. Eton, Harrow, Winchester and Rugby are the best known.
