I am asked for a few words about Prof. Robinson.
Why not measure the greatness of men by the love which they command? I think it would be a good way. I think the greatest men are those who are most lovable. Prof. Robinson was loved by all who had a chance to love him. Among those who loved him were the third and fourth rate students—those neither brilliant nor successful in their studies. Such students are usually made to feel, by their teachers, that they are out of place on the earth and ought to get off and let those who know their lessons have the space. Professor Robinson clearly thought that a man might be stupid in Latin and still be useful and successful in something else quite as well worth while. And so the dull ones loved him as well as those who were competent to measure him as a master of his profession. This was why the dull ones learned of him in spite of their dullness. All pupils, good and bad, took away from his class-room more than they took into it. With him, as with all true men, it was more blessed to give than to receive. This was not merely his theory. It was his practice. He gave everything he had in his life, including his life. About all he got back was love. Kansas gave him little else. She was stingy in the money she gave him and ought to be ashamed of it. But Professor Robinson never called attention to the fact. He did his hard work nobly, took his little money and his much love—sorry but silent about the one, thanking God for the other—lived a blameless life and died victorious, leaving an example worthy to be followed by everybody. Achieving all this he achieved the best and was a success.
