While the Principal worries over finance or architecture or public relations, Mr. MacRoberts grappled with the problems of internal order. His weekly inspection of the boys’ records caused even bravest hearts to quail. As flagellator-in-chief he had a remarkable eye for multiple underwear. The fact that he found it hard to relax as the position improved is some measure of his sacrifice for the College when a show of strength was needed. To the last he loved cricket, and the boys who made a good score in a Public School match would possibly be called to “the bookroom”, not for the usual dread purpose, but to receive a ten-shilling note. Mr. MacRoberts remained Vice-Principal until 1938.”
