Abstract
FEW schools have passed through a more interesting development in modern times than Oundle. It is an old foundation and it has had periods of distinction in its long history, but its real rise to importance began in 1892 when Frederick William Sanderson went there from Dulwich to take charge. It was no light undertaking. There had been an unsuccessful period: the numbers of boys had gone down, and what was worse, the standard of work was low. Sanderson put all his tremendous energy and enthusiasm into the task and never paused till he had raised the school to its present high position. Then came his tragic death last June with the sudden break of all his plans for future development.
Sanderson of Oundle.
Pp. vii + 366 + 16 plates. (London: Chatto and Windus, 1923.) 12s. 6d. net.
