Our ex-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 to the care and proficiency of his trainer.
Many of the objections mentioned against him are well founded it is true, but no one has been found to question either his ability, or his honorable and gentlemanly methods, or his earnest and steady work. His care has already been sadly missed, and it is feared that in the spring, the Athletic Association will find it has lost its most influential supporter. We wish him all success in whatever branch he may choose to busy himself with hereafter, and we may heartily assure him that his uniform courtesy and successful efforts have gained him the lasting appreciation of the college he has served so long and ably.
