A story of a college town. Professor Ferris, a singularly strong man, is “walled in” by a terrible automobile accident. His months of convalescence reveal his enduring qualities which are contrasted with the impatience and frivolity of his butterfly wife. The story follows the love of this man for two women, one whose waywardness is her own undoing and one whose strength and beauty of character bring their own reward.
“Told in somewhat long-drawn-out fashion.”

“It is an epoch making work. Not only is it a contribution to social science of first-rate value; but it is also of fundamental practical interest to education. No other book has done so much to reveal the true function of knowledge.” George Elliott Howard.
