At The School That Has Left A Deep Mark On Great Britain, The Empire, And The World: In A Great And Splendid School: The King Declaring Open The New Speech-Room At Rugby., 1909. 'The King [Edward VII]...declared open the new Speech Room, commanded an addition to the boys' "hard-earned holidays," presented prizes. planted a young oak tree in the Close, and inspected the members of the Officers' Training Corps of the school. In the course of his reply to the address read by the head of the school, H. J. B. Clough, a grand-nephew of the poet, the King said: "Rugby is notable not only for its successes in scholarship, not only for its men of letters, but even more for its high ideals of honour and manliness and public spirit, and all those qualities that make our public schools the finest places of education in the world. These ideals and these qualities, strenuously taught by her great leaders, and handed on as a cherished tradition from generation to generation of her sons, have left the mark of Rugby deep, not only throughout the islands, but throughout the Empire, and in every part of the world".' From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
