About This Book

A campus story follows a well-liked sophomore leader and his close friend, the son of a beloved professor, as their carefree songs and college customs give way to rivalry with an arrogant newcomer and a bitter quarrel fueled by rumor. Episodes trace escalating pranks and a cowardly revenge that nearly leads to tragedy, then the faculty intervention and a reconciliation that restores friendships. The narrative examines loyalty, the corrosive power of whispering tongues and hazing, and the tension between youthful impulsiveness and moral responsibility.
