Summary: "The Adventures of a Freshman" by Jesse Lynch Williams is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around William Young, a naive and ambitious freshman at college, who navigates the challenges of college life, particularly the trials of hazing from upperclassmen, as he strives to prove himself and secure an education. At the start of the book, we are introduced to William Young on his first day at college, where he faces mockery and intimidation from a group of sophomores. He stands his ground against their bullying, demonstrating both his determination and perhaps a bit of naivete about the social hierarchy of college life. Young's character is further fleshed out as he reflects on the sacrifices he made to attend college against his father's wishes and the pressure he feels to succeed academically. As he encounters further challenges, including hazing traditions and the struggle to find his place among his classmates, the opening chapters set up a narrative filled with humor, camaraderie, and personal growth in the face of adversity.
