About this book
William Young arrives at college determined to make his education count, then meets four sophomores who demand that he remove his hat. Raised in the Illinois countryside, he has worked hard for his place and takes their teasing personally. His sharp reply to Channing sets up a clash between his independence and the campus rules of rank. Jesse Lynch Williams builds this college novel around the awkward business of becoming a freshman among students who already know the customs.
Hazing, class loyalty and the limits of good sportsmanship give the story its immediate tensions. A blow from Ballard turns an encounter into a struggle, while Lee helps Young and older students insist on fair play. The crowded walks, chapel duties, literary societies and watching dormitory windows make college life feel public at every turn.
