Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from College Days: Or Harry's Career at Yale
The author's object in this story of College Days is to give a pictureof student life as it was twenty years ago. The Yale of today is more cultured, less democratic, less boyish than in the Seventies. In this story the public student life has been treated rather than the private life, and it may be added that the period cov ered was the close of what has been termed Yale's barbaric era. The attitude of students to the faculty and to one another, the relations of classes, have all materially altered for the better these latter years. The student enters college at a more advanced age, feels himself much more of a man, has already experienced some of the delights of secret societies at Exeter or Andover, and is alto gether about as experienced as a junior in the old days.
