Goodbye, Mr. Chips
by James Hilton
Filled with enthusiasm, the young English school principal, Mr. Chipping, came to teach at Brookfield in 1870. It was a time when the honor and generosity of the soul still existed, and the selfless new school master expressed these beliefs to his noisy students. Nicknamed Mr. Chips, this kind and caring man has helped shape the lives of men for generations. He has become a legend at Brookfield, as enduring as the institution itself. And sad but grateful faces told the story when it was time for students at Brookfield to finally say goodbye to Mr. Chips. There is no other book than Dickens Noel Carol that has exactly the same love of readers. Its popularity is so high that it has been adapted into two films and two television series.
