Goodbye, Mr. Chips is a novel by James Hilton telling the story of a much-beloved schoolteacher and his long tenure at Brookfield, a fictional boys' public boarding school. The book has never been out of print.

Mr Chippings encourages his young charges to continue with their studies during an air raid - “You cannot judge the importance of things by the noise they make,” he sniffs as the crash of explosives becomes louder. “These things that have mattered for a thousand years are not going to be snuffed out because some stink-merchant invents a new kind of mischief.”

According to Greek mythology the centaur Chiron was instructed by Apollo and Artemis, who molded his wild and rowdy centaur personality to being a great healer and teacher himself. It was told that Chiron sacrificed his life in order for humanity to have fire.
