I don't think this is an example. The subject is discussed with a certain amount of delicacy, appropriate to the characters and the time period, but within that context it's being pretty straightforward about what they're talking about.

* StiffUpperLip: Chips is teaching a Latin class when a German bombing raid starts. After a quick mental assessment, he concludes that they're as safe in their basement classroom as they're likely to be if they try to reach the official bomb shelters, and that the best thing to do is keep the lesson going so the students will have something else to think about. He makes a dry remark about how you can't always judge the importance of something by how much noise it makes, and assigns his students to translate a passage from Caesar's memoirs about the warlike Germanic tribes.

* CorporalPunishment: Was used at Brookfield during Chips's time, as it commonly was in British schools in those days. Chips is seen to regard it as a deterrent punishment; he recalls giving a thrashing to a boy who tried a risky stunt that could have led to his death, in the hope of discouraging similar behaviour in future.

* HomeByChristmas: Early in the Great War, one of the new students asks Chips if he thinks it will last long. Chips says he thinks the Germans are already beaten and just don't know it yet, and that the whole thing will be over by Christmas. He then jokingly asks if the boy was thinking of joining up, not knowing that by the time the war grinds to its conclusion the same boy will have joined up and died in action.

* NoodleIncident: At one point, Chips has a burst of reminscence in which several of the incidents go unexplained: what was so "queer" about Archer's resignation? and what was so funny about Rushton and the sack of potatoes?

* IncrediblyLamePun: Teaching the boys about the Roman ''Lex Canuleia'' (which enabled plebeians to marry patricians), Chips tells them that if an aristocrat thereafter told a commoner he couldn't marry her, she could reply, "Oh, yes, you ''Can-You-Liar''."
* IronicEcho: Linford uses the TitleDrop to say goodbye to Chips which takes him back to how Kathie said it, this would also be his last visit with a student before his death.
* LastOfHisKind: Brookfield ends up regarding Chips as this, he represents the old guard but no matter how many generations come to pass everybody still believes in Chips and invite him to have a place somewhere.
* MayDecemberRomance: Chips is about twice Kathie's age when they fall in love.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Somewhat averted and somewhat invoked by different characters. Chips is really Mr. Chipping. Some characters clearly are aware of this, but as he mentions it is a recurring joke on campus throughout the years to call him Mr. Chips to suggest that is his real name, so at some point plenty probably invoked this trope InUniverse.
* RescueRomance: Subverted -- when Chips goes to rescue Kathie, he finds her very much in command of the situation. They fall in love anyway.
* TitleDrop: Kathie uses the title line as a jest on the night before their wedding. He also hears it one more time when Linford, a new student, bids him goodbye.
