...trainer, Mr. Robinson, has left us, bearing with him the best wishes and most hearty commendation of all who have been fortunate enough to secure his services. Seldom if ever can we find a gentleman so proficient in the profession of training who will so readily adopt the college spirit and desire for success, or will hold remuneration so cheaply in comparison with victory. The precise value of Mr. Robinson's services in regard to the intercollegiate games will probably never be thoroughly estimated, but each member of the victorious teams can name very many advantages which he owes...

Furthermore, too long a period on the rowing weights is apt to grow irksome to men accustomed to rowing on the water.

The consolidation of the smaller institutions, though they have lived long and honorably, with the colleges whose wealth and high fame command the patronage of the country, is lightly urged. There are cheap colleges by the dozen in America, some of them not worth consolidating with any reputable institution. But New England country colleges, like Dartmouth, Williams, Bowdoin, Amherst...
