Julian Home, by Dean Frederick Farrar.
________________________________________________________________________
In this book Farrar, who for the first part of his career was a British
Public School master and headmaster, writes of the lives of a group of
clever young men during their three years studies at Camford University,
(transparently Cambridge). Some of them work hard and do well, gaining
College scholarships and fellowships, while others do little work and
become enmeshed in gambling, drinking, and other still worse vices.
Some miserable tricks are played by the bad and idle men in attempts to
bring down the good and hard working ones, most of which nearly end in
disaster, but by various tricks of fortune a balance is in the end
restored, and the book comes to a satisfactory conclusion.
You will enjoy this book if you do not let yourself be put off by
Farrar's habit of inserting Greek, Latin, French and German tags just to
show how very sap he is.
