Synopsis

This book, set in the rural relief of Vermont, humorously follows the college days of Quincy Jordan, a young farmer who unexpectedly wins a prestigious Boston Post scholarship. Enrolling in the fictional Westward College, Quincy must navigate the challenges of higher education in the early 20th century, a time when universities were very different from today's institutions. Quincy's arrival at Westward coincides with the arrival of Hal Dexter, another student who comes from a very different socio-economic background. Hal's character represents a type of scheming social climber, a familiar figure in American literature. The author uses Quincy's perspective to highlight the clash between rural and metropolitan values, and the challenges of adjusting to a new social and intellectual environment. The book also delves into themes of honor, integrity, and the sacrifices one must make to achieve their goals. Through Quincy's journey, this book offers a glimpse into the complexities of the American college experience over a century ago, and explores timeless themes of personal growth and finding one's place in the world.
