Aside from his pomposity, narcissism, and other obvious faults, he had his feet on the ground in many ways. For example, in 4th and 5th year we were allowed to wear out our striped blazers before buying the blue ones. Also he asked pupils leaving to donate their old blue ones for anyone struggling to afford a new one. I wish my daughter's high school had been this flexible for her final year.
