Heartwarming: When This Straight-A Student Couldn’t Afford to go to University, President Will Robbins Came to His House and Gave Him A Forty-Five Minute Sponge-Bath Instead

While many complain that the Victoria College administration is out of touch with the student body, President Will Robbins is anything but. That’s why he filled his special bucket with suds and spent almost an hour soaping up honour-student Jeremy Yang. And if you can believe it, the story gets even better; he did it for free. Here’s what the people have to say.

“I’ve always wanted to hold a sponge, so it was basically a dream come true for both of us! And maybe next year he’ll get to go to university. Who knows?”

“Northrop Frye has a book as part of his statue, so why shouldn’t President Robbins have his bucket? It just makes sense.”

— Finance Chair Graham Allison, on his petition to have President Robbins’ bucket o’ suds included in his president portrait in Old Vic

“Hopefully I’ll get the chance to do something similar.”
