The story of a great schoolmaster Chapter One Sanderson, The Man of all the men I have met and I have now had a fairly long and active life and have met a very great variety of interesting people. One only has stirred me to a biographical effort. This one exception is F. W. Sanderson for many years, the headmaster of the school, I think him beyond question. The greatest man I have ever known with any degree of intimacy. And it is in the hope of conveying to others something of my sense, not merely of his importance but of his peculiar genius and the rich humanity of his character that I'm setting out to write this book. He was in himself a very delightful mixture of subtlety and simplicity, generosity, adventurousness, imagination and steadfast purpose. And he approached the general life of our time at such an angle as to reflect the most curious and profitable lights upon it.
