Does anyone know the name of the film where Lionel Barrymore plays a teacher if an all boys school, and the ending shows Barrymore sitting by his fireplace and reviews the children he had taught through the years... I THINK it was Barrymore, but it may have been another actor. Thanks so much!

Ah, Wilderness 1935

That sounds like Goodbye, Mr. Chips (Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031385/?ref_=nv_sr_6) ) to me.
