i mwntee urre Brownlee O. Currey, for many years the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Montgomery Bell Academy, gave unstint- ingly of his time, energy, and money to his alma mater, the school from which his father and his son had graduated. Always interested in furthering education, Mr. Currey insisted that honor, integrity, scholarship, and athletics were the important elements in any school situation. One of his greatest desires was to see MBA the best school, scholastically and otherwise, in the state. It was through his efforts that the school paid off its indebtedness, that the campus v as beautified with roads, trees, and walks, and that the school reached its high level of scholar- ship. In the words of one of the papers the breadth of his interests was remarkable. Whenever he could be of help, materially or otherwise, he was a willing volunteer, and as a result, he has left his mark upon Nashville ' s historical, educational, religious, in- dustrial, and civic life. In him was an outstanding devotion to the preparatory school which he attended. He was a symbol of progressive thought and ' action, broad and tolerant citizenship, and reasoned thinking. The example of Mr. Currey will always be a shining example for the boys of the school to follow. He was, indeed, a true son of MBA.
