Hey, boy, you!
Come here.
-Well, haven't you got a name?
-Yes, sir.
-Is it a secret?
-No, sir. It's Morgan, sir. Derek Morgan.
Oh, a Morgan, eh? I might
have known, trousers too short.
Morgans always grow out
of their trousers. Run along.
-Yes.
-The head would like to see you.
Oh, he would, eh?
Thank you.
You'd better take over for me,
will you?
You beast! I'll kill you for that.
Hey, hey! Boys, boys! Get up!
Stop it! Stop it at once.
Get up! Get up!
Come on. Get up.
A disgraceful exhibition.
Did no one ever tell you to keep
your hands up? Keep them up.
It's a wonder both your eyes
aren't closed.
-New?
-Yes, sir.
-What's your name?
-Colley.
A familiar name at Brookfield.
My grandfather's John Colley,
chairman of the school governors.
He's a scrapper too. Caned him
more than once. I'll do the same for you.
-What's your name?
-Perkins, sir.
I gather you're engaged
in the vegetable business.
-Do your duties include brawling?
-He called me a town cheese.
-He said I was a stuck-up snob.
-A " town cheese" ?
That was ill-mannered of you, Colley.
Shake hands.
No more of this nonsense.
I've got to get along.
Hurry up.
That's better.
If you knocked some sense into each
other, the afternoon hasn't been wasted.
-Come in, Mr. Chipping.
-Thank you.
-Sit down.
-Oh, thanks.
Have you ever thought
you would like to retire?
No, I've never thought about it.
The suggestion's there for you
to consider.
an adequate pension.
I don't want to retire.
I've no need to consider it.
In that case,
things will be a little difficult.
Why difficult?
-Do you want me to be quite blunt?
-Oh, yes, of course.
Look at that gown you're wearing. It's
a subject of amusement to the school.
I told you I wanted the new style
of Latin pronunciation taught...
-...and you totally ignored it.
-Oh, that. Nonsense, in my opinion.
What's the good of teaching boys to say
"Kikero" when they'll still say Cicero?
Instead of vicissim,
you'd make them say " wekissem. "
I'm trying to make Brookfield
an up-to-date school...
...and you insist on clinging to the past.
-The world's changing.
-I know the world's changing, Dr. Ralston.
I've seen the old traditions
dying one by one.
Grace, dignity, feeling for the past.
All that matters today
is a fat banking account.
You're trying to run the school
like a factory...
...for turning out moneymaking snobs!
You've raised the fees, and the boys
who really belong have been frozen out.
Modern methods, intensive training,
poppycock!
Give a boy a sense of humor and
proportion, and he'll stand up to anything.
I'm not going to retire.
You can do what you like about it.
He told Chips he's got to retire,
but Chips said he wouldn't.
He's been here hundreds of years.
He used to cane my father.
If Chips went,
-What's the rumpus?
Ralston wants to kick Chips out.
Says he's got to retire.
What? Get rid of Chips?
He just better try.
If he says another word to Chips,
I'll kill him.
The governors don't want you to resign.
Brookfield wouldn't be the same
without you.
You can stay here until you're 100
if you feel like it.
-We hope you will.
-We do indeed.
Sir John, gentlemen...
...it is good of you, John,
of all of you...
...to take this trouble for an old man.
of your confidence...
...I should like to persuade the head
that in these times...
...Brookfield has need of both of us.
That's generous of you, Chips.
But will it work?
I'll shall see to it that it does.
I'm even going to teach my Latin class
to say Kikero!
A few years of that,
and I'll have to retire.
Five years ago this summer,
when I was new to Brookfield...
...I ventured to suggest
to Mr. Chipping...
...that it was time for him to retire.
I was as new as that.
I even persuaded him to replace
the venerable garment...
...that had become another
Brookfield tradition.
Today, no one regrets...
...more sincerely than I do...
...that he finally feels himself
compelled to take my hint.
I invite you all to join me
in a toast...
...to Chips of Brookfield!
To Chips of Brookfield!
School! Three cheers for Chips.
-Hip-hip-hurrah!
-Hurrah!
-Hip-hip-hurrah!
-Hurrah!
-Hip-hip-hurrah!
-Hurrah!
We all know that Mr. Chipping's
retirement is a great loss to Brookfield...
...but we hope that he will have
many long and happy years.
I'm not going to tell Mr. Chipping
what we paid for the present...
...because, well, that's rude.
I believe he'd like to know that every
boy in the school subscribed to it...
...and every subscription was collected
without force of any kind.
Mr. Chipping, we want you to accept
this little token of esteem...
...from the boys of Brookfield.
It's meant to keep biscuits in.
Boys of Brookfield...
...I'm afraid Wainwright
has been guilty of exaggeration...
...in speaking of my services
to Brookfield.
But then, of course, he does come
of an exaggerating family.
I remember I once had to punish
his father for it.
I gave him one mark
for Latin translation...
...and he exaggerated it
into a seven.
I've seen a good many changes
at Brookfield.
I remember so much...
...I sometimes think
What shall I call it?
Memories of Rod and Lines?
I may write it one day.
I may forget some things,
but I never forget your faces.
If you come and see me in the years
to come, as I hope you will...
...you may see me hesitate.
You'll say to yourself,
"The old boy doesn't remember me. "
But I do remember you,
as you are now.
That's the point.
In my mind, you remain boys...
...just as you are this evening.
Sometimes when people speak
of Sir John Colley...
...our chairman of governors...
...I think to myself, " Yes, a jolly little
chap with hair that sticks up on top...
...and absolutely no idea of Latin verbs. "
Aithough I am resigning,
I shall still be near the school.
I shall live at Mrs. Wickett's house,
just opposite Main Arch.
Well, remember me sometimes.
I need not translate it for you.
Well, good night. And thank you.
-Glad you won't be far away.
-Anytime you need me.
I shan't hesitate.
-And, Chips...
-Hm?
...when you write that book of yours...
...remember that in addition
