Excerpt from George Ide Chace: A Memorial

The life of a beloved and venerated teacher has peculiar claims for commemoration. Even when his fame has been secured by his writings or his services, much of his best work simply lives in the character of the pupils he has trained. In thus moulding character, he touches and shapes the most vital interests of society. He becomes a power behind the throne. The world may admire the philosophical writings of Plato more than his personal reminiscences of Socrates. But if we were compelled to choose between these and the dreamy speculations in some of his treatises, we should not hesitate to take his grate ful record of the life of the great Grecian teacher, and give up his brilliant speculations in philosophy. Dr. Arnold of Rugby has just claims for remembrance as a historical scholar. It is not these, however, by which he will chiefly live in the grate ful estimation of his countrymen. His fame will be perpetuated rather as the great educator, who more than any man of his age lifted the high vocation of the teacher into its deserved prominence.
