Overview

Excerpt from Blundell's Worthies Sometimes in my work when turning over the pages of a faded diary or volume heavy with the dust of years, I have come across a chance word, or phrase, it may be, that reveals as in a flash the feelings and affections which these men of old, for all their seeming aloofness, had in common with the boys of to-day. It was like a voice calling down the ages. 'i, too, was a Blundellian, your hopes and fears were once mine, you are my schoolfellows.' For boys and masters come and go, fashions in work and play alter with the times, but the school itself remains the same, as the river is changeless, though its waters ceaselessly flow. I remember on the night of the first Jubilee, in 1887, watching from the top of the Worcestershire Beacon how, at our signal, answering fires arose. From hill to hill bright points of flame shot up in the darkness, till far away to the south we marked the Mendips, and to the north, still fainter, the Wrekin's crest of light. Those beacon fires seemed to speak of unity and solidarity; and this is just the thought that arises now at the Jubilee of Blundell's. These Worthies, whose lives we value as a priceless heritage, are, surely, the beacon lights that stand out through the darkness of three centuries. May they help us to realise the unity and solidarity of a historic school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
