Excerpt from A History of the Rhode Island Normal School
The occasion of the Fortieth Anniversary wakened the sleeping memories of the birth of the school, and the presence of Principal Greenough, his assistants and a large body of the early graduates made the days of the struggle and triumph so near and vivid that a voice seemed to say Write, and I have written with the same heart service that I gave to the upbuilding of a great institution, in a former day, of small beginnings, but of large Hope.
I have made the personal pronoun occupy as modest a position as possible.
