The publishers claim that this book is “the most natural and the most truthful exposition of average student life yet written.” “Mr. Hall relates the count’s doings with sufficient gusto and vividness to make the count a living person: we see him playing tennis, playing golf, playing base-ball (this game we found a little hard to follow); we are with him in the editorial den of the Lampoon; with him as he conducts the rehearsal of his opera; in the examination-room, where he behaves shamefully; at his late breakfasts and his early morning suppers—and his company is always or nearly always pleasant, for he is amusing and irresponsible.” (Acad.)

“The book is written in good English, and with a careful avoidance of Americanisms. The author’s constant efforts at brilliancy of conversation occasionally become tiresome.”
