According to Arthur Stanwood Pier\u2019s St. Paul\u2019s School 1855-1934<\/em> (pg. 151), in 1871 Nicoll was a member of the Ariel crew team, rowing in the bow position, and competed in the first annual crew race at St. Paul\u2019s School.\u00a0 The Ariel team was made up entirely of Third Formers, and they finished only two seconds behind the winning Halcyons \u2013 Shattucks finished in third place due to one of the oarsmen having caught a crab. This first race began the tradition that is still held each Anniversary weekend at St. Paul\u2019s School.<\/p>\n According to the obituary that appeared in the Autumn 1921 Alumni Horae<\/em> (pg. 23), Nicoll went on to graduate from Princeton, and then worked as \u201cthe head of the iron, steel and coal firm of B. Nicoll and Company of New York.\u201d\u00a0 His brothers Delancey Nicoll, Form of 1870, and Edward H. Nicoll, Form of 1877, both attended St. Paul\u2019s School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Benjamin Robbins Curtis (right) attended St. Paul\u2019s School from 1868 to 1871 and is a member of the Form of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[1561,1570,1562],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/olda_000245.02_w.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6038"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6038"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6050,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6038\/revisions\/6050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ohrstromblog.com\/spsarchives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
