Summary "Harvard Episodes" by Charles Macomb Flandrau is a collection of fictional vignettes set in an academic environment, written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores life at Harvard University through a series of character-driven interactions, primarily focusing on students Horace Hewitt and Robinson Curtiss. The opening chapters introduce themes of isolation, ambition, and the disparities in social dynamics among college students, as well as the deeper emotional currents behind their interactions and aspirations. The opening of the book features a conversation between Horace Hewitt, a sophomore, and Robinson Curtiss, a young graduate. Hewitt expresses his feelings of discouragement and existential doubt regarding his place at Harvard, feeling disconnected and isolated from the vibrant life he observes around him. As he seeks advice from Curtiss, who reflects on his own experiences, a profound exploration of the challenges faced by young men in academia unfolds. The dialogue serves as an introspective examination of their hopes, individuality, and the 'chances' that define their paths within the seemingly exclusive social structure of Harvard. The tone is both analytical and personal, drawing readers into the complexities of college life during this period. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
