English to Spanish: The Joy of Living Dangerously: Sanderson of Oundle
Source text - English Sanderson of Oundle ended up second only to Arnold of Rugby in fame, but Sanderson was not born to the world of public schools. Today, he would surely have been drawn to a large, mixed Comprehensive. His relatively humble origins, his northern accent and his lack of Holy Orders gave him a rough ride with the Classical ‘dominies’ whom he found on arrival at the small and run-down Oundle of 1892. So rebarbative were his first five years, Sanderson actually wrote out his letter of resignation. Fortunately he never sent it. By the time of his death thirty years later, Oundle’s numbers had increased from 100 to 500, it had become the foremost school for science and especially engineering in the country, and he was loved and respected by generations of grateful pupils and colleagues. More important, Sanderson had developed a philosophy of education which we should heed to this day.
He was said to lack fluency as a public speaker, but his sermons in the School Chapel could achieve Churchillian heights.
Translation - Spanish El único que sobrepasó en fama a Sanderson de Oundle fue Arnold
de Rugby, pero Sanderson no estaba destinado al mundo de las escuelas
públicas. Hoy en día, me atrevo a decir, hubiese sido el director de una
gran escuela mixta Comprensiva.** Sus humildes orígenes, su acento
norteño y su falta de Órdenes Mayores le acarrearon algunas dificultades
con los clásicos «dómines» que halló a su llegada en la pequeña y desgastada
Oundle de 1892. Sus primeros años fueron tan duros que Sanderson
llegó a escribir su carta de renuncia. Afortunadamente, jamás la envió.
En la época de su muerte, treinta años después, el número de
alumnos de Oundle se había incrementado de 100 a 500, la institución
se había convertido en la principal escuela de ciencias e ingeniería del
país y él era querido y respetado por generaciones de agradecidos alumnos
y colegas. Más importante aún, Sanderson desarrolló una filosofía de
la educación a la que hoy deberíamos prestar atención en forma urgente.
Se decía que carecía de fluidez como orador público, pero sus sermones
en la capilla de la escuela podían alcanzar alturas dignas de un
