This Volume is Dedicated to
AUSTIN PHILIPS MONTGOMERY, JR., the Headmaster whose ideals about what a school should be inspired the theme around which this book
is turned. "The School exists for boys." He said that often. Without boys, a school is only a scattering of buildings. It is the boy, the individual voice, the collective voice, that gives life and purpose and that creates 'school' in the only real sense.
For seven years, he worked for the boy, for the School. New buildings were erected. The chapel was enlarged, for him "the center -of things." More boys came. More voices. He listened to the voices, musingly, carefully, at times painfully. At the culmi- nation of those years, he left a better School. In him was the best that VES became.
