Suppress mixed integer programming output

I am running code on a remote server in which I solve many small mixed integer programs(using the .solve() method). I tested my code on my local machine with no issues. However, when I run it remotely it seems that the Sage installation there does not suppress output from .solve(). I get many, many prints to the console which look like:

glp_exact: 224 rows, 196 columns, 588 non-zeros
GNU MP bignum library is being used
0:   infsum =                      2   (11)
47:   infsum =                      0   (11)
*    47:   objval =       1.39285714285714   (12)
*   205:   objval =      0.660714285714286   (5)
OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOUND


It would be very helpful to not have Sage constantly printing to the console; is there a way to suppress this output? Some sort of flag, maybe, when I run Sage?

EDIT: In response to David Coudert's comment, here is the kind of behavior I'm seeing, on a relevant snippet:

sage: def opt(x):
....:     mip = MixedIntegerLinearProgram(maximization=False, solver="GLPK/exact")
....:     mip.set_objective(mip[0]+x*mip[1])
....:     return mip.solve()
....:
sage: [opt(n) for n in range(3)]
glp_exact: 4 rows, 2 columns, 8 non-zeros

I would only like to have the final line of output printed to the console, yet am also finding the three pieces from GLPK put there too.

EDIT 2: I realized I forgot to mention that I'm running Sage 7.4 and that I may have trouble installing CPLX or Gurobi on the server since I do not have admin privileges there. These appear to be the only solvers which allow for the "logfile" approach.
