His diary concerns his everyday life at the college, including worrying about assignments, writing letters to his family and friends, and playing for the college\u2019s baseball team. The campus that Robinson studied at during the mid-1870s was one that centered on a structured, liberal arts education that was emblematic of Catholic higher education during his age. He entered into a world of study at Setonia that consisted of two sessions lasting five months apiece from September through June.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ea16b6b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ea16b6b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bec0405\" data-id=\"bec0405\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d014350 elementor-tabs-view-horizontal elementor-widget elementor-widget-tabs\" data-id=\"d014350\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tabs.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2181\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2181\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Journalism<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2182\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2182\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Baseball<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2183\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2183\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Academics<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2184\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2184\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Diary<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-content-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2181\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Journalism<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2181\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2181\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"false\"><p>John Erigena Robinson was the son of William Erigena Robinson, a congressman and a journalist whose political career is mentioned several times in the diary. Robinson must have been inspired by his father\u2019s journalistic pursuits, because he writes in the diary about his desire to start a student newspaper for Seton Hall College. On January 26, 1873 he wrote:<\/p><blockquote><p><em>\u201cTo start a paper. How, when, and where? These were the things that occupied me during the day and I may add during the night as I went to bed and fell asleep with visions of shears scraps and papers flying here and there. If we can only get the permission of Malley who owns a press and of Dr. Corrigan who heads the College we are all right. We have fixed the name it is the Setonian. We have got the outline and the matter for each page and now for the permission of the two worthies who at least in this case have a great case in hand!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p>Unfortunately, Robinson never realized his dream of starting The Setonian. A full explanation is never given in the diary, but on February 14, 1873 he laments that his plans will not come to fruition:<\/p><blockquote><p><em>\u201cGeorge and Bill received a valentine today. I also received one. It had a picture of an editor on it and some ridiculous rhyming lines beneath it. It was sent to me as it had got around that I was going to start a paper in the college. Alas, the poor \u2018Setonian\u2019 is but a dream of the past.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p>The reasons why Robinson was not able to start a college newspaper are unknown, but fortunately for Seton Hall it was not completely \u201ca dream of the past\u201d but simply deferred. A college newspaper was eventually founded in 1924\u201451 years after Robinson\u2019s plans and with the same name he proposed, The Setonian.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/setonian-1924a901-218x300-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3308 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/setonian-1924a901-218x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2182\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Baseball<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2182\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2182\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Beyond the classroom, Robinson played baseball for the Seton Hall nine also commonly known in that age as the\u202fAlerts which began as a popular sport on campus during the late 1860s and engaged in more formal play the following decade.\u202f According to existing documentation they played local teams mainly their arch-rivals St. John\u2019s College (now known as Fordham) of the Bronx during the 1873 season.\u202f The main highlight of his time was a defeat of St. John\u2019s 24-13 during October of that year which carried the squad into the following campaign where they would play the same opponent twice more.\u202f Robinson would be among the pioneer players for the team that would grow in competitiveness and success over subsequent seasons.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/baseball-1890s902-1024x831-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3303 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/baseball-1890s902-1024x831-1-300x243.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/baseball-1890s902-1024x831-1-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/baseball-1890s902-1024x831-1-768x623.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/archives\/files\/2020\/09\/baseball-1890s902-1024x831-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2183\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Academics<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2183\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2183\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p style=\"text-align: left\">John Erigena Robinson\u2019s academic experience at Seton Hall College was based on a structured, liberal arts education that was emblematic of Catholic higher education during his age.

On January 17, 1873 he writes:<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cI am preparing for the Junior Exhibition as hard as I can. I was up two or three hours this evening speaking as well as I could. I have improved wonderfully. At least this is what everyone tells me. Indeed I am surprising myself.

I have made up my mind time and gain to cast off my backwardness in speaking and by a grand effort to keep on improving.
