| Summary | "Captain of the Crew" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a sports novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set at Hillton Academy and centers around Richard Hope, the captain of the school's rowing crew, as he navigates the challenges of leadership, athletic competition, and personal growth. The text explores themes of camaraderie, school spirit, and the importance of integrity in sports. The opening of the story introduces a group of boys returning to Hillton Academy after Christmas vacation, and it sets a lively scene of excitement and youthful exuberance. Among them is Dick Hope, who emerges as a central character as he anticipates the demands of captaining the crew. The early chapters depict his interactions with new classmates, particularly Trevor Nesbitt, a boy with a tendency to show off. As the story unfolds, the dynamics between the characters hint at future conflicts and competitions, both in the context of rowing and personal relationships, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of teamwork and rivalry as the crew prepares for the annual boat race against their rival school.
