Excerpt from George Sydney Arundale: His Life and Work in the Central Hindu College, Benares I have been asked to prefix to this book a few words of introduction, and I gladly seize the opportunity of paying my tribute also to the generous and lofty character which has inspired it. Among the many Theosophists who have sacrificed life and home for the dear service of India, none, I think, has met with more misunderstanding and more ingratitude than George S. Arundale. It is therefore well that those whom he has served in the Central Hindft College should bear testimony to what they owe him. That he is followed by the staff and the students with love, and by the majority with passionate reverence and loyalty, is patent to all, and this power of leadership, and of winning love and trust are, as is so often the case, the reasons for dislike and distrust among those who do not share that power. The commonplace is that which never gives offence, great natures arouse great love and great hatred in those around them. As a successful Principal, I think that George Arundale's name will shine in the annals of education with those of Dr. Arnold of Rugby and Dr. Vaughan of Harrow.
