EDWARD THRING and Sanderson will rank as the two English headmasters of the last generation who left most personal mark upon their scholars and built up great schools on the foundations of
small, ancient, and neglected grammar schools. Such reconstruction was a familiar feature of the last half-century, but Uppingham and Oundle will always recall the names of their
re-founders. Thring's work was in one way more heroic than Sanderson's, because he did it in the teeth of an obstructive and unsympathetic body of governors, while Sanderson was supported by
the generous and loyal help of his.
