Excerpt from The Book of Rugby School: Its History and Its Daily Life The following Papers have been written with the view of supplying a need, which various documents have met in part, but none entirely, - the need of a work embracing the entire History of Rugby School, in its Institution, Buildings, and Educational System. Some amount of definite and accessible information respecting every place of National Education is due to the Public. And for the sake of the School itself, it is surely desirable that its old memories and former associations should not be trusted to the precarious vehicle of tradition, but thrown into the more permanent shape of a written record. Rugby's connections with the past are now of nearly three hundred years' standing, and we feel that she has no reason to be ashamed of them.
