He was tall and vigorous, capable of going long distances and bearing much fatigue ; his bodily recreations were walking and bathing, and those gymnastic exercises which he had shared with his pupils at Laleham, and which he did not discontinue after his removal to Rugby. His physical vigour and activity gave him real sympathy with the games and athle...tic exercises of his boys, and he laid great stress on such sports as being essential to a boy's true development.
