This week's thought for Saturday evening to take into Sunday is a quotation from the speech given by the Master, Wynne-Wilson on Speech Day 1908 in the newly built Big School. He speaks of men and boys, but the ideal he proposed to a male audience is no less true for today's coeducational school.
In School we try to train the character by making the boys fit to become men of affairs and to take positions of authority, whether they are to be soldiers, lawyers, doctors, or engineers, or the like. Out of School we try to train the boys' characters by making them learn to conform to rules and obey authority, and in Chapel we try to train their characters by holding out to them that without which life is ineffective, sterile, and uninspired: the great illimitable ideal."
