Y an oversight for which there is no excuse, we omitted Blast month to report the dinner given on October 30, in Lincoln's Inn Hall, to Mr. Asquith by the City of London Schools Committee. Late as it is, we desire to place on record the tribute that Mr. Asquith paid to his old head master, Dr. Abbott. A scholar of the finest type, he taught his pupils as well as any schoolmaster of his time the meaning and just use of words, but, though bred himself in the straitest school of the old Cambridge scholarship, he was the first of our head masters to show to his class how Shakespeare and Dante might be illuminated by the application of the same scientific methods that had long ago been applied to the classics of Greece and Rome. I see among your guests to-night Mr. Rushbrooke, Dr. Barnett, and there must be others, who sat in the sixth form in those days, and I am sure there is not one who would not agree with my estimate of those stimulating and vivifying lessons, in which all the acumen of scholarship and all the wealth of learning which Dr. Abbott had derived from close converse with the classics were brought to bear with intensity, force, and illuminating power upon the study of every modern author and of every period of history. But behind and beyond all that there was something more. There was the influence, the personality, the force of a cultured man, disinterested, austere, but, at the same time, with a vivid interest in the affairs of mankind, and in everything that concerned the boys who came under his charge. I am certain that there is not here to-night a man who in those days-in the sixties and seventies-was under Dr. Abbott's tuition and guidance who will not agree with me that the most precious possession we took away with us from the City of London School, whether to Oxford or Cambridge or to business, was the sense of that strong, self-sufficing, but at the same time wide, vivifying, many-sided personality, to which many of us have looked back in the stress and strain of life as the best example and the best influence. There is nothing, I can honestly say to you, that gives me greater pleasure to-night in meeting this gathering of my old schoolfellows than the opportunity of joining with you in this loving and grateful tribute to the man to whose moulding influence we owe so much.
