In bringing this brief historical sketch of the Otago Boys' High School to a close, the writer feels it incumbent on him to refer to the services rendered to the school by Mr Brent, who is the only one of the original masters now on the staff. During his uninterrupted connection with the school for the long period of twenty-six years, Mr Brent has invariably acquitted himself with singular judgment and prudence, and has ever maintained the most cordial relations with the Board and his colleagues, while in times of difficulty, he has rendered most valuable assistance to the school authorities, either by performing the duties of Acting Rector in a highly satisfactory manner, or by co-operating heartily with one or other of his colleagues, who had undertaken the duties.
