The governors don't want you to resign.
1:20:05
Brookfield wouldn't be the same
without you.
1:20:08
You can stay here until you're 100
if you feel like it.
1:20:12
- We hope you will.
- We do indeed.
1:20:16
Sir John, gentlemen...
1:20:19
...it is good of you, John,
of all of you...
1:20:21
...to take this trouble for an old man.
1:20:29
But before I avail myself
of your confidence...
1:20:33
...I should like to persuade the head
that in these times...
1:20:37
...Brookfield has need of both of us.
1:20:40
That's generous of you, Chips.
But will it work?
1:20:43
I'll shall see to it that it does.
1:20:45
I'm even going to teach my Latin class
to say Kikero!
1:20:49
A few years of that,
and I'll have to retire.
1:20:54
Five years ago this summer,
when I was new to Brookfield...
1:20:59
...I ventured to suggest
to Mr. Chipping...
1:21:02
...that it was time for him to retire.
1:21:05
I was as new as that.
1:21:08
I even persuaded him to replace
the venerable garment...
1:21:11
...that had become another
Brookfield tradition.
1:21:17
Today, no one regrets...
1:21:21
...more sincerely than I do...
1:21:24
...that he finally feels himself
compelled to take my hint.
1:21:32
I invite you all to join me
in a toast...
1:21:37
...to Chips of Brookfield!
1:21:40
To Chips of Brookfield!
1:21:42
School! Three cheers for Chips.
1:21:44
- Hip-hip-hurrah!
- Hurrah!
1:21:47
- Hip-hip-hurrah!
- Hurrah!
1:21:50
- Hip-hip-hurrah!
- Hurrah!
1:21:59
We all know that Mr. Chipping's retirement
is a great loss to Brookfield...
