"Harvard Stories: Sketches of the Undergraduate" by Waldron Kintzing Post is a collection of literary sketches written in the late 19th century. The book provides a series of anecdotes about undergraduate life at Harvard, focusing on the experiences, friendships, and adventures of a group of students, particularly a character named Jack Rattleton and his circle of friends. Readers can expect a blend of humor and nostalgia as the author reflects on the camaraderie and challenges faced by the students during their time at the university. At the start of the collection, the author introduces Holworthy, a Harvard student who is preparing for a foot-ball game against Yale. Holworthy's room serves as a social hub for his friends, and a lively conversation ensues among them regarding their upcoming match and their various activities. Each character showcases a unique personality, ranging from enthusiastic athletes to laid-back loafers like Jack Rattleton. The opening sketch sets the tone for the stories to come, highlighting themes of friendship, youthful exuberance, and the contrast between different personalities, all set against the backdrop of Harvard University life.
