I dashed off a page or so of commentary, which brought from the teacher public commendation for my historial empathy and perception. This juvenile effort may have influenced my instructor when he gave me a grade on my report card of 100 percent in history. I thought then, and still think, that no pupil is worth 100 percent in history." -Thomas A. Bailey, The American Pageant Revisited, p.9
