R b t S eirs during his life at Selwyn House, came to symbolize the proud history of the o er p , school. His death on the 25th of March, 1981, shocked the school, but lt also made it proud that ' ' ld t be one so dedicated, so talented, and so cheerful had given so much to a school which wou no here today had it not been for his tireless support. These words from his eulogy echo our sen- timents: as a teacher, as a leader, and as a scholar. We recall his sterling qualities, his We remember him sense of responsibility, his integrity, his vision. ... his great love was Selwyn House School. When he accepted the appointment as Headmaster in 1945 the school was on the verge of collapse. This was to him only a challenge, which he faced with enthusiasm, bringing with him his own ideas and ideals. ... he reached his objectives step by step. l f th ears of service cannot be measured in terms of words. It lies rather in the The va ue o ese y hearts of those he taught, and in the recognition of what he did for them during their formative . . d years. lt was his example of rectitude, of high moral standards, of character, that led his stu ents not only to admire him, but also to revere him. The Selwyn House School of today stands as a monument to Robert Speirs.
