“Dean Clark of the University of Illinois for many years has made boys and their ways the chief concern of his official life. Mr Clark is what the students would call a ‘regular’ dean. He knows the temptations that beset the young man and is not astonished that they are sometimes too much for him. He is inclined to overlook the minor shortcomings, but conceives it his duty to warn the boy of the risk he runs in yielding to evil suggestions. For the rest the book has much in it that is of interest, and the dean is particularly happy in his chapters on the value of systematic study and on choosing a career or a college.”—Boston Transcript

“It is concrete in every paragraph, reminiscent, replete with glimpses of real boys facing actual situations. Almost as important as is its content is the fact that it promises to win a reading from the high-school boy to whom it is addressed.”
