THE .-ISHBCRIAN 3 A Behiratinn This .41111i'z'e1's'i11'y N 7l7ll17L'l' of The Ashburian is i'lffiL'L'fiUlIi1fc'l.l' dedicated to 0111011 George Peiirose ll700HC'07lll76, ,ll.A., I.L.lJ., F01111der of .4shh11rbv College and for forty-one years its Que!!-ltelzfvea' H end 11mster. To those who knew him, Canon lYoollcombc was a sympathetic and understanding teacher, who appreciated the unpredictable activities of schoolboys, but stood no nonsense. He was a firm disciplinarian, just in his dealings and quick to forgive and forget. During Canon XYoollcombe's regime Ashbury developed into one of Canadas best schools, known nationally for its excellence in academic, athletic and character training. This high standard was due to the Founders unbounded energy, his scholarliness and his capacity to administer the increasingly intricate organization of a boarding school. The hundreds of young men who attended the School under Canon lYoolcombe's headmastership will remember his amazing memory. Even in his 84-th year, on the occasion of his autumn visit to the School, he was able to recall for the benefit of many Old Boys' sons numerous incidents associated with their fathers' schoolboy careers. May Ashbury long cherish the 7Il67lI07'.V of its d V7Iz'l7lliC F01111der,' and 11my those of Its who are privileged to' carry 011, be guided by his kirtdlirzess, his se11se of fair play and the example of his Christian cnharacter.
