Thomas Arnold (June 13, 1795 – June 12, 1842) was a British
schoolmaster and historian, head of Rugby School from 1828 to 1841. He
was made a fellow of Oriel, Oxford in 1815. His
appointment to the headship of Rugby, turned the school's fortunes around, and his
force of character and religious zeal enabled him to turn it into a
model followed by the other public schools, exercising an unprecedented
influence on the educational system of the country. He is portrayed as
a leading character in the novel, Tom Brown's Schooldays.
