’WHWH fW) .A foreword oo the T'fonor of a ( reat Z3eacber S555iir This volume is dedicated to the honor of a great teacher, Professor Seeley, founder of the San Antonio Academy, which in a sense is the forerunner of the Texas Military Institute. The old 'grads’ speak of him yet in tones of such genuine affection and with tributes to his fine ability to arouse in his students a love of learning and a genuine desire to know more of the great events and the great men of past times. Life in those days was slower and simpler—so the old ‘grads’ say. Athletics were not organized. Field days and baseball games were not planned weeks ahead but just happened. Lovely sponsors in attractive uniforms simply were not. Yet they tell us that Professor Seeley by the spell of his personality developed fellowship among 'his boys’ and bred in them the spirit that made ‘Seeley’s School’ (as it was often called) the outstanding institution in that remote day when Prof. B. was a very young man. The direction given by the sterling character of Doctor Seeley has resulted —with the assistance of Dr. Bondurant in the center, Prof. Culver and Prof. Meyer in the wings—in San Antonio Academy and the Texas Military Institute, of which we are so proud today.
