The letters, addressing his nephew, offer guidance on navigating the challenges and responsibilities that come with attending the University of Oxford. The topics range from the importance of maintaining a sense of religion, to the value of forming moral friendships, and managing time and finances responsibly. The opening of the work sets a reflective tone as the author expresses his pleasure in his nephew's admission to Oxford while simultaneously warning about the potential temptations the young man will face. Berens emphasizes the critical nature of the university years as a defining period for a young person, urging his nephew to cultivate a strong sense of religious duty as a safeguard against moral pitfalls. Additionally, he introduces the idea that the company one keeps can significantly affect one’s character and urges careful selection of friends who embody moral worth. Overall, this initial portion of the text serves to establish both the stakes involved in university life and the core values Berens believes are vital for his nephew's success and personal growth.
