Appendix

LAMBETH PALACE, S.E.

IT must be right that some Biography of Dr. Marks should be published. A man of remarkable personal powers, he had opportunities of an extraordinary sort, and he used them extraordinarily well. I imagine that the record of St. John's College, Rangoon, is in some respects unique among educational annals in the East, and the romantic elements in its story are as noteworthy as its consistent chronicle of steady work. The dominating personality of Dr. Marks deserves, and has here, I hope, secured, appropriate record. The missionary annals of our time would be incomplete without such a narrative in permanent form.
