Edward Gordon Selwyn, Letter to the Editor: The Late Lord Forbes (1914)
“ You were the sons of gentlemen, born many of you to rank and station; and such boys will never be educated well till they are educated by men themselves of rank and station I am sure you felt it—I am sure that the very presence of Lord Forbes among us, his voluntary devotion to his work, his quiet zeal, his unaffected, unconscious superiority, did you incalculable good You know that I never permitted a word, or thought, or look from anyone disrespectful top the brothers who worked with me. ”
