Excerpt from The Right Honourable Hugh Oakeley Arnold-Forster: A Memoir
Whether it be true that the story of a man's life should not be written for some twenty or thirty years after his death, or whether, on the other hand, it should be told whilst, in the minds of his friends and fellow-workers, his memory is still fresh and undimmed, is a question difficult to decide. But if a memoir may ever be written after no long delay, it is perhaps specially permissible in the case of one whose life was wholly given to the study of the greatest national problems that have still to be faced and solved by his fellow-countrymen. To the study and under standing of the questions that are most vital to us as a nation and as an empire, my husband devoted a life of strenuous work. He approached these questions from the point of view of one who was to the end a student, and who was always learning. He brought to their solution a great sincerity of purpose, wholly untouched by any thought of self or of his own advantage.
He had, to use Mr. Balfour's words describing him, a single eye to the great national needs which are now filling so much of our thoughts. In this characteristic he resembled, very closely, his adopted father, William Edward Forster, to whose training and example he owed so much.
